Chef David Burke joins Mark and Francis at the New Jersey Wine & Food Festival for a conversation about Jersey dining, restaurant ambition, early kitchen life, and the creative ideas that become a chef's signature.Why This Episode MattersDavid Burke's career runs through New Jersey, New York City, and a national restaurant footprint, but this conversation brings him back to the Jersey roots that shaped him.David, Mark, and Francis dig into the business realities behind restaurant growth, especially real estate, rising costs, payroll, and the value of owning the building.The episode looks at how New Jersey dining has changed, from quiet weeknights and liquor-license hurdles to a stronger local restaurant culture.David's early kitchen stories capture a version of restaurant life that was chaotic, skilled, rough around the edges, and completely captivating.The conversation shows how a signature dish is born: part imagination, part logistics, part stubbornness, and part “somebody please build me the thing.”BanterMark and Francis open with lab-grown cocoa, chocolate anxiety, and the future of a world where even dessert may need a science department. Mark then shares a Lower East Side fried chicken quest that very much did not lead to fried chicken — a classic Restaurant Guys situation involving food curiosity, one neon rooster, and the internet saving him from a very different afternoon.The ConversationDavid Burke joins Mark and Francis at the New Jersey Wine & Food Festival, where they start by noting that after 20 years of the podcast, David is somehow only now making his first appearance. David talks about running ten restaurants, the ambition that keeps chefs saying yes to new opportunities, and why New Jersey became an important part of his restaurant life after years in New York.The conversation turns to real estate, rising costs, early dining, and the business advantage of owning the building, something they all see as central to long-term restaurant survival. David also looks back on his Hazlet beginnings, from dishwashing to being dazzled by club sandwiches, sauté pans, salty line cooks, and rock stars moving through the back door.The final stretch gets into David's gift for signature dishes, especially the path from a Peking duck idea to clothesline bacon. It is a very David Burke story: big visual concept, practical headaches, custom hardware, and eventually a dish that became so recognizable people copied it around the world.Timestamps00:00 Mark and Francis open with lab-grown cocoa and a Lower East Side fried chicken misunderstanding06:30 David Burke joins them at the New Jersey Wine & Food Festival09:15 New Jersey restaurants, real estate, and the value of owning the building12:15 David's Hazlet roots and first kitchen jobs23:00 Signature dishes, clothesline bacon, and big restaurant ideas30:30 Jersey chefs, friendship, and making time outside the work grindOn Friday, May 22 we'll be celebrating our 34th Anniversary with a 34 Bottle Walk Around Tasting.

Nancy’s friend told her that it’s better to go eat at Mexican restaurants two days after Cinco de Mayo because the food is fresher and there is less of a crowd. A girl has gone viral for bringing a step stool to the pit of a concert to help her see. There’s a debate as to whether she is inconsiderate or not.

Mike Wester launched the first Burger Fest in Beijing 13 years ago as a scrappy response to the collapse of print ad revenue. Today, burger festivals run in third-tier cities across China, subsidized by local governments trying to drive foot traffic into half-empty malls. Hefei alone has four a year. In this episode, Jeremiah talks with Mike Wester, co-founder of True Run Media and publisher of the Beijinger, about how burgers became one of China's fastest-growing new cuisines, what the food festival boom reveals about Chinese commercial real estate, and why a generation raised on McDonald's is now opening artisanal burger shops in cities that didn't have a KFC a decade ago. They cover the social-media arms race, producing photogenic and often inedible creations, and 13 years of memorable entries — including a Wagyu patty with goose liver, cinnamon, and apple, and a pig-brain burger from a man who built his fortune on braised pig brains.

Allen sophomore Shania Charles is a leader on campus—she's president of Student Senate, a captain of the women's soccer team, Phi Theta Kappa president, and more. She's also taken a lead role in organizing a World Food Fair planned for Friday, April 24 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. It's a free event, and the public is invited. The idea came from Allen students as part of the America 250 project, a joint endeavor between the City of Iola, Allen Community College and USD 257. Thrive Allen County played a key role in meeting with students and transforming their ideas into actions. In this week's episode of “Registered,” Charles explains why Allen students decided to host a food festival and what their hopes for the event are. A native of Saint Lucia, Charles also talks about what it's like to be an international student on campus, finding community in Iola, and what her next chapter may hold.

Il suffit d'un peu de farine, de sel et d'eau pour faire du pain, c'est peu et pourtant fondamental : le pain est à la base de tout. À tel point qu'en arabe, vie et pain se disent de la même manière « haïch ». Le pain, les gestes pour le façonner -en galettes, en tresse, en bracelets, en brioches- avec lui, par lui se transmettent les cultures. De mains en mains, les traditions, les histoires filent, au-delà du temps, au-delà des frontières. Le pain incarne à lui seul l'idée de partage. Kaak al quds au sésame, kaaks fourrés aux dattes en Palestine, et les ma'amouls pour les fêtes, des tcheureg en Arménie pour Pâques, une brioche tressée également chez les orthodoxes, les épices qui les parfument - l'anis, le fenouil, le mahaleb ou le mastic sont inscrits dans la mémoire collective de ces goûts qui ne s'oublient pas. Ce sont les ma'amouls de la cheffe palestinienne Lulwa Elsarraj qui nous ont mis sur la voie de cet épisode du « Goût du monde ». Des gâteaux dorés comme la lune aperçus sur sa page Instagram, et des ka'aks sucrés, délicieusement fourrés de pâte de dattes, fondants et réconfortants. Lulwa est originaire de Gaza, elle a passé les premières années de sa vie près de la mer et de sa têta, sa grand-mère. Aux côtés des ma'amouls, sur les tables arméniennes pour Pâques, les brioches tcheureg incarnent le retour de la lumière et la résurrection. L'autrice et comédienne Corinne Zarzavatdjian aime raconter la tradition qui accompagne le tcheureg : indissociables de Pâques, les œufs peints ou teints en rouge et la traditionnelle « bataille » d'œufs à laquelle se livrent les convives. Dans cette émission, sont tissés les récits des pains, les souvenirs des mains et les histoires de nos deux invitées. La cheffe palestinienne Lulwa Elsarraj sur instagram, sur youtube. Lulwa a partagé sa cuisine et ses racines avec d'autres chefs dans le cadre du refugee Food Festival, notamment avec Alessandra Montagne, d'origine brésilienne, cheffe de Nosso.

His 'Foodies Eat First' festival is set for May 2 & 3, with 2 sessions a day at Trust in downtown St Louis. 'This is a real St Louis food-scene buy in,' says Braden with John Hancock and Chris Rongey. He also comments on the canceling of the Cherokee St. Cinco de Mayo festival, and explains the difficulties running a festival withthe expenses of hiring security and a cleaning crew.

Today on Discover Lafayette, we welcome Dale Clark, Ursula Quoyeser, and Kelly Viator to talk about the upcoming fifth annual Fin Feather Fur Food Festival, known as F5, benefiting Team Gleason Foundation. The event will be held April 30, 2026, at Blackham Coliseum, and if you've ever attended, you already know it's one of those rare gatherings where incredible food, community spirit, and a powerful mission all come together. This conversation brings us to the heart of why F5 matters, and why this cause continues to resonate so deeply across Acadiana. Team Gleason is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason following his ALS diagnosis in 2011. Known for his iconic blocked punt in the Superdome that symbolized hope for a recovering New Orleans, Gleason has carried that same spirit into his life's work. His message, “No White Flags,” has become a rallying cry for those facing ALS. Today, Team Gleason is recognized as one of the largest nonprofit providers of equipment and technology to the ALS community. Their mission is focused on helping individuals not just survive, but truly live, through access to communication devices, mobility equipment, care services, and even “adventures” that allow families to create lasting memories together. In the past two years alone, requests for care services, equipment, technology, and experiences have increased by 70%, reflecting both the growing need and the trust families place in this organization. As Kelly Viator of the Team Gleason Founation explains, their work begins with listening: “visit persons in their homes, to understand the environment that they're living in and what technology would best suit them and at what time.” https://youtu.be/ID6gZ85BEeE?si=TuyJG7igU2CupkHp That level of care extends beyond equipment. It includes advocacy, helping families navigate systems that are often confusing and overwhelming, and creating connection through support networks. Kelly shared that their local virtual gatherings offer a space where “sometimes we cry, but mostly we laugh,” a reminder that even in the face of ALS, community remains essential. For Ursula Quoyeser, that community has made a profound difference. She describes how her symptoms began subtly during COVID, with what she thought was a minor issue. “I started getting dropfoot, and little things just kept happening.” After a long wait to see specialists and ultimately receiving her diagnosis, her mobility declined to the point where she now relies on a wheelchair and adaptive equipment. Through Team Gleason, Ursula continues to receive critical support, including a specially equipped van that came at exactly the right moment. “I was pulling into the driveway of the dealership to buy a van when I got the call.” That kind of intervention restores independence. As Ursula shares, “I can still go places and do things.” Ursula Quoyeser, known to many as Coach Q, attended Lafayette High and played volleyball and softball at USL, now known as UL of Lafayette. She was the first female athlete inducted into the UL Lafayette Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992. Dale Clark's journey with ALS led him to channel that same spirit of resilience into action. Diagnosed in October 2020, Dale very quickly began asking what he could do to make a difference. Over breakfast with friends right after his diagnosis, the idea for F5 was born. “They said, what can we do for ALS? Then we saw an article by Team Gleason and I said, we need to talk to them.” From that moment, the Fin Feather Fur Food Festival took shape, rooted in Louisiana culture and driven by purpose. Teams compete by cooking fish, wild game, or fowl; “You either cook a fish, an animal or a feather. Or perhaps a dessert!” F5 is a cooking competition where teams compete for winner status in the Fin, Feather, and Fur or Dessert division. Awards will be presented to each team winning their respective category. Dale Clark, pictured far left, with his buddies from the Florence Club at the 1st annual F5 on April 28, 2022. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into a signature Acadiana event. F5 now draws roughly 1,500 attendees each year and has raised more than $750,000 over the past four years. This year's goal is clear: reach $1 million total raised in its five years of existence. It takes a village to make that happen. Dale is quick to credit the cook teams and volunteers who fuel the event's success: “I can't thank the cook teams enough because without the cook teams, we don't have an event.” And for those attending, the experience is unforgettable with unlimited food tastings, drinks, live energy, silent auctions, and a packed room filled with purpose. But what stays with you isn't just the food. Ursula says her favorite part is seeing all the people. “Friends and family show up in big groups.”And Dale shares what matters most to him: “Meeting all the people with ALS, and their spouse coming up and giving me a hug. I really appreciate that.” Those moments are what this event is really about. Because at the end of the day, Team Gleason's mission is simple but powerful: with the support of caring individuals, people living with ALS can experience greater independence, a higher quality of life, and the dignity they deserve. F5 is how Acadiana shows up to make that happen. General admission tickets may be purchased for only $45.00 and many sponsorship opportunities are available. Visit https://teamgleason.org/f5/ or Team Gleason's website: https://teamgleason.org/. You can also just purchase tickets on April 30 at the door. Once you understand what's behind this event, it becomes very clear. This is something you definitely want to be part of.

"The Bay of Plenty. Is there a more aptly named province in New Zealand? From the Kiwifruit Capital of the World to New Zealand's Avocado Capital, the region's sheer abundance of world-class fresh produce is quite exceptional. All the more reason to celebrate its plentiful produce, the enterprising growers and the stellar culinary verve coursing through the region. Introducing Flavours of Plenty, the region's headline foodie festival which roars back into life over eighteen delicious days, kicking off on April 16th. This year's bash marks its fifth outing, and the festival has fast cemented its credentials as one of New Zealand's very best festivals on the culinary calendar. Strung right across Coastal Bay of Plenty, from Waihi Beach to Whakatāne, there's a stack of lip-smacking events to sink your teeth into. On a recent visit to the region, I enjoyed a taster of the festival, which included some superb encounters with some of the region's growers." Read Mike's full article here.

0:21 Bilt JAL Transfer Bonus Normally 1:1, heightened for March 1 “rent day” Staying on-brand-complicated the amount of bonus varies depending on your Bilt status and use of Bilt Cash to further heighten the bonus So it's 25-125% on March 1 JAL 1:1 BILT transfer partner is great, long term Need to have space aligned in both directions Miles expire 3 years (HARD expiry, no way to extend) Speculative…. Probably not for me.  $135 Bilt cash to unlock 25% additional uplift 05:38 Chase Sapphire WHOOP Offer This is an Offer, not a recurring benefit of the card (as of now, one-time) Offer must be activated first on Chase Direct Link from Whoop for more info $359 back on $359 on Sapphire Reserve, $100 back on $149 on Sapphire Preferred Ends 5/12/2026 10:07 Hyatt Award Chart Changes Direct Link to new award chart New award chart still tops out at Category 8, but now has 5 levels of demand within each category (previously 3) Means a standard room can be as cheap as 3,000/nt OR as much as 75,000/nt (Cat 8, Top demand) OR 110,000 (Cat 8 Premium Suite Top demand) Digital point sharing! What's the upshot here? For me, as long as the program continues to offer solid value (2+ cpp most of the time, occasionally 3+ cpp) I'm still happy. 17:17 Chase Adds Wyndham as 1:1 Transfer Partner Citi also transfers to Wyndham, has a 25% bonus through March 21, 2026 Reason to even mention this is curiosity about whether Wyndham   is at all compelling anymore with the demise of Vacasa? Wyndham has hotels! (did you know?) And plenty of vacation rentals 15k - 30k per night, can make sense.  Again, speculatively doesn't likely make sense.  21:04 BofA Preferred Rewards Press Release / Direct Link $1M is the new $100k: Now need $1M for 75% uplift on credit card earning Preferred: $30k - $100k 25% uplift on qualifying credit card rewards Preferred Plus: $100k - $1M 50% uplift (was 75%) Premier: $1M+ 75% uplift (was also 75%) Subscription credit for debit charges: $8/mo for Preferred Plus, $15/mo for Premier Expanded Access to Lifestyle Benefits Preferred Honors tier: Automotive savings on brands like BMW, Lexus, Audi, Volvo; access to arts and entertainments moments, including major league sports, concerts, Broadway shows, and opera; and premium travel experiences with partners including Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Virgin Hotels, and Sixt.

Starts May 2026, but uplift may stick around for existing customers: “Some benefits, like the credit card rewards bonus and no-fee safe deposit boxes, may be subject to change. If this applies to you, you'll keep your Preferred Rewards benefits for at least 6 months (after May 2026) 26:25 BOS-HNL Non-Stop Returns Direct Link On Delta, in “Winter” Also MSP-OGG Better to have an option than not! I'm hopeful they'll have good uptake and expand this to more of the year. I think there's demand for one non-stop BOS-Hawaii year-round (not two). If that's Delta rather than Hawaiian, so be it?

Geoff Cook's career took off the night he met MoMA's CMO—and helped create the iconic MoMA QNS brand. Since then, he's shaped brands from MILK and NeueHouse to Times Talks, JFK Terminal 4, and the Prince Estate. Partner at Base, mentor at TechStars, and global culture expert, Geoff shares how bold branding can leave a lasting cultural impact. What You'll Learn in This Episode - How a single encounter can launch a career and define a creative trajectory - Why human connection is at the heart of every successful brand experience - The concept of “world-building” in branding and how it fosters community - How to balance AI as a tool without losing creative originality - Key considerations for branding early-stage companies and preserving cash Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:33) Jeff Cook's career breakthrough at MoMA (02:10) Early lessons from DKNY and international branding (04:07) Culture-driven branding from Milk to global institutions (07:40) Translating cultural expertise to JFK Terminal 4 (10:09) World-building brands to foster human connection (12:19) AI in creative work: opportunities and guardrails (20:12) Mentoring early-stage companies and branding pitfalls (26:27) Brands that make Jeff smile About Geoff Cook Geoff Cook's career catapulted on the night he met MoMA's CMO at a Base party in Manhattan, where he discussed developing the institution's new branding for its temporary museum in Queens. The project, MoMA QNS, was the first in a string of iconic brands he has helped to create, including MILK, NeueHouse, JFK Terminal 4, Iconiq, The New York Times' Times Talks & Food Festival, the Prince Estate, and countless others. Geoff approaches branding with a sharp understanding of business strategy and a finger on the pulse of global culture (he speaks four languages and savors local flavor everywhere he travels).

Geoff also puts his branding acumen to use as a mentor at renowned tech accelerator, TechStars, and serves as a board member at Sentral. What Brand Has Made Geoff Smile Recently? Geoff is impressed by On, a Swiss-based athletic brand. He admires how On builds a cohesive, coherent world through product design, store experiences, and creative campaigns that surprise and delight.
