Jenn Saesue didn't want to open another Thai restaurant that served the same watered-down menu as everyone else's—so she didn't. Nearly a decade later, she's the cofounder of 55 Hospitality, the group behind Fish Cheeks, the Michelin-listed Bangkok Supper Club, and Bub's Bakery, New York's first completely allergen-free bakery. Matt talks with Jenn about refusing pad Thai, managing an impossible reservation list, and how a birthday cake for her husband turned into a two-and-a-half-year research and development project.

Aujourd'hui on va parler pâtisserie avec l'un des plus grands noms du moment, la meilleure pâtissière du monde: Nina Métayer ! Alors on voulait la rencontrer avant qu'elle n'obtienne à 35 ans ce trophée ultime, mais ça donne d'autant plus de poids au récit... A quoi peut bien ressembler le chemin qui mène à ce sommet? Et bien vous allez voir qu'au départ, il ressemble à une vie "normale" mais que très vite se dessine un tempérament plutôt indépendant, quelqu'un qui dès l'adolescence est capable de dire: "je vais partir, au Mexique, pour voir".Et c'est au cours de ce voyage en forme de hasard qu'aura lieu une première rencontre, ou plutôt la naissance d'une idée... qui a à voir avec le pain.Viendra ensuite la pâtisserie et sur sa route elle va croiser le chemin de brigades taillées pour décrocher les étoiles.On l'a dit trop petite, trop frêle, et on aimerait voir la tête aujourd'hui de ceux qui ont prononcé ces mots à l'époque...Trop gentille aussi, et trop femme évidemment…Donc vous allez entendre comment finalement on peut déjouer la stupidité par son énergie et sa créativité sans se départir de sa bienveillance.Vous allez découvrir le portrait d'une femme qui sans bruit fonce vers son envie. Qui est arrivé à concilier ses ambitions et ses plaisirs, une femme qui vit entourée des siens, en rangs serrés… Comme on l'était autour de la table dans la famille de Nina Métayer.Production : NOLA Journaliste : David OrdonoAssistant montage : Thomas LadonneRéalisation : David OrdonoCréation musicale : Nathan CohenContact : podcast@nolamedias.comCrédit photo : Production 520Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Comment on se relève après avoir tout perdu, un restaurant, un rêve, pour finalement le reconstruire ailleurs, autrement ?On reçoit cette semaine dans le podcast Ismaïl Guerre-Genton, chef du restaurant Maison Akène dans le Pas-de-Calais à Ardres.Il raconte sa cuisine, façonnée par son terroir, par la rencontre avec Inès, sa femme, et par la naissance de leur fille, puis retour à son enfance dans le Nord, où rien ou presque ne le destinait à la cuisine. Puis une intuition lorsqu'il travaille en plonge. Suivent les grandes maisons qui l'ont formé, Guy Lassausaie, Paul Bocuse, Michel Bras, Emmanuel Renaut, Julien Gatillon et enfin Christian Têtedoie à Lyon, où se noue une amitié fondatrice.Il revient ensuite sur la construction du duo avec Inès, pensé dans l'équité, sur Empreinte, leur premier restaurant, ouvert sur un coup de tête après des mois de recherche infructueuse. Quatre années d'obsession pour l'étoile Michelin, le surinvestissement, le Covid, jusqu'à devoir tout arrêter, sans filet.De cette remise à zéro naît Maison Akène, dans une ancienne bâtisse du XVIIe siècle à Ardres dans le Pas-de-Calais. Ismaïl raconte l'ouverture, la patience nécessaire pour s'installer comme restaurant de destination et la sérénité enfin retrouvée.Pour en savoir plus sur le restaurant d'Ismaïl à deux pas de Calais, c'est par ici.

Si pasas el mes de agosto en Madrid, Mª LUISA DEL AMO te cuenta los mejores PLANES que puedes hacer. Y, si tienes la oportunidad de escaparte, te proponemos un destino recomendado por el New York Times, y a sólo un par de horas de la capital en coche: BODEGAS ARZUAGA (Quintanilla de Onésimo, Valladolid), en donde podrás bañarte en su playa artificial, dar un paseo en barco por el Duero, pasar un día de spa, ver jabalíes y muflones, y por supuesto disfrutar de sus vinos y de su gastronomía. Hoy nos acompaña en el estudio para contárnoslo, SARA FERRERES, chef de EL TALLER, galardonado con una estrella Michelin. Cerraremos la primera hora con la propuesta líquida de ENZO RUIZ, un maestro coctelero que acaba de abrir en Madrid, STILLROOM (C/ Moreto, 9) Los ENSERIADOS TELEVISIVOS de JUAN LUIS ÁLVAREZ, hoy nos hablan de PERDEDORES. Y, curiosamente, justo después hablamos de una de las mayores historias de éxito empresarial de Madrid: los manolitos, que nacieron hace 30 años en una pequeña pastelería de Colmenar Viejo, y que ahora son uno de los dulces preferidos de todos los madrileños. Entrevistaremos a la directora de marketing de MANOLO BAKES, BEATRIZ LÓPEZ SCHUMMER, para conocer todas las curiosidades de estas pequeñas delicias, que nacieron por un afortunado error. Y terminamos la segunda hora con la visita de ANDONI ARIAS, propietario y chef de RAPAZ (Mercado de los Mostenses), que, por segundo año consecutivo ofrece su local a cocineros amigos que convierten su local en el CHIRINGUITO DE RAPAZ, con una de las ofertas gastronómicas más interesantes y originales del verano madrileño.

Comme toujours, la première partie de notre émission sera une discussion sur l'actualité. Nous commencerons par parler des nouvelles sanctions de l'UE contre la Russie. Cette fois-ci, leur objectif est différent : elles ne concernent pas seulement la guerre en Ukraine, mais aussi la sécurité à long terme en Europe. Notre discussion portera ensuite sur un article publié dans The Economist au sujet des lois brésiliennes contre les discours racistes, qui sont les plus strictes au monde. Les auteurs se demandent si elles peuvent permettent de résoudre les profondes inégalités sociales. Notre section scientifique sera consacrée à une étude qui montre qu'une espérance de vie plus longue n'est pas synonyme d'une vie en meilleure santé. Bien que l'espérance de vie mondiale soit passée à 73,8 ans, il a été établi que les gens sont en mauvaise santé durant une grande partie de ce temps supplémentaire. Et nous conclurons la première partie de l'émission par une discussion sur Michelin, réputé pour ses classements de restaurants, qui vient de lancer son premier guide des domaines viticoles. Comme on pouvait s'y attendre, cette initiative n'a pas manqué de faire débat.   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine portera sur : Les verbes se conjuguant comme « voir » et les verbes particuliers : aller, avoir, bouillir, coudre, croire, devoir, être, plaire, pouvoir, savoir et vouloir. Nous nous intéresserons au milliardaire Bernard Arnault, qui s'est défendu après une série d'articles écrits par le journal Le Monde. Son empire serait-il menacé ? Et nous terminerons par l'expression de la semaine : « À tire-larigot ». Un nouveau vol d'une pièce rare dans un musée français ravive les inquiétudes concernant la sécurité des œuvres d'art. Comment mieux les protéger ? - De nouvelles sanctions sont prises contre la Russie pour favoriser la sécurité de l'Europe - Les lois brésiliennes strictes contre les propos racistes permettent-elles de résoudre les profondes inégalités sociales ? - Une étude révèle qu'une vie plus longue n'est pas synonyme d'une vie en meilleure santé - Michelin provoque une polémique en étendant son guide gastronomique aux domaines viticoles - Bernard Arnault se défend après une série d'articles du Monde sur son empire - Un nouveau vol relance l'inquiétude sur la sécurité des musées français

In this “random show” episode of The Hospitality Mentor Podcast, Steve Turk shares a multi-generational Miami Beach staycation at the Marriott Stanton South Beach, highlighting the South of Fifth location, Michelin star-winning The Den inside Azabu, and strong beach service and guest acknowledgment as a key hospitality lesson. He also recommends the Loews Miami Beach Hotel's Sushi Bar inside Bar Collins, praising Chef Khaleel Ali and the value of standout culinary “hidden gems” in big hotels. The family then takes the Brightline train from Miami to Orlando for a Disney trip, emphasizing assigned seating, onboard amenities, and the productivity and low-stress benefits versus driving. In Orlando, he reviews the Signia by Hilton (connected to Waldorf Astoria) as a strong value with great rooms, pool, restaurants, and fireworks views, noting slower bus transport to the parks, and shares a Disney day tip: book an air-conditioned sit-down meal like the Brown Derby.

Dedicaremos la primera parte del programa a discutir la actualidad. El primer tema de conversación serán las nuevas sanciones de la UE contra Rusia. Esta vez, el objetivo de las sanciones es diferente, y tiene relación no solo con la guerra de Ucrania, sino también con la seguridad europea a largo plazo. La segunda conversación tratará sobre un artículo publicado en The Economist. Los autores discuten las leyes contra el discurso racista de Brasil, las más estrictas del mundo, y se preguntan si están resolviendo profundas desigualdades sociales. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a un estudio que indica que una vida más larga no necesariamente significa una vida más saludable. El estudio ha descubierto que, aunque la esperanza de vida global se ha disparado hasta los 73,8 años de edad, gran parte del tiempo adicional de vida se pasa en un mal estado de salud. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa con una discusión sobre Michelin, conocida por sus evaluaciones de restaurantes, que ha lanzado ahora su primera guía de bodegas. Como se esperaba, la decisión no estuvo exenta de polémica. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Imperative Mood - Part IV (Negative). En esta conversación hablaremos de un nuevo proyecto de ley para endurecer la normativa sobre el tabaco en España. Entre otras medidas, esta ley ampliará las zonas prohibidas para fumar, como las terrazas de bares y restaurantes. Aunque esta medida busca proteger a los jóvenes del mal hábito del tabaco, no todo el mundo está de acuerdo con este proyecto de ley. De nuevo, algunos ciudadanos apuntan a la libertad individual y la economía para rechazarla. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Ser otro cantar. Hablaremos de los nuevos votantes españoles, ciudadanos de edades entre 18 y 20 años, y la política. Parece ser que un porcentaje alto de jóvenes varones españoles es partidario de la ultraderecha. Sin embargo, no hay tantas mujeres de esta misma franja de edad que prefieran partidos de ultraderecha. Analizaremos las causas de este giro a la derecha en los jóvenes votantes y discutiremos los motivos de esta brecha generacional. Las nuevas sanciones de Europa contra Rusia persiguen la seguridad europea ¿Están resolviendo profundas desigualdades sociales las estrictas leyes contra el discurso racista de Brasil?

The new season of the New Worlder podcast is finally getting underway. The break was a little longer than I expected because some of the final research trips for the book I've been working on were delayed, then writing and edits took longer than expected. The book, called Eating the Amazon, is now finished. Many have asked already, but there are no recipes or photos. It's a non-fiction narrative comprised of 12 stories set in different parts of the Amazon and it will be published early next year by The New Press.After this conversation with Juliana to open the season of the podcast, there will be an on-location episode from Trancoso, Brazil, and then we'll move into regular interviews, every other week, just as before. This will go until the end of the year.Around the start of next year, we are going to have a series of interviews related to people working with food in the Amazon. Some of the guests will appear in the book. Others are people I know or are influential in that realm of knowledge. Some you will know immediately. Others you should know.During this conversation we talk about what Juliana has been doing and also go over some details about the book, the process of writing it, some of the themes within, the future book tour and other details that are still being finalized.

On reçoit cette semaine dans le podcast Ismaïl Guerre-Genton, chef du restaurant Maison Akène dans le Pas-de-Calais à Ardres.Dans cette troisième et dernière partie, Ismaïl raconte la construction du duo avec Inès, pensé dès le départ dans l'équité plutôt que dans le schéma traditionnel du chef et de « la femme de l'ombre ». Il revient sur Empreinte, leur premier restaurant, né d'un coup de tête après des mois de recherche infructueuse et d'un entretien d'embauche qui les pousse finalement à se lancer.Quatre années où l'obsession d'une étoile Michelin prend le pas sur tout, un cercle vicieux de surinvestissement, le Covid, l'endettement, jusqu'à un moment de vraie détresse professionnelle. Ismaïl et Inès finissent par tout arrêter, vendre la maison, le restaurant, sans filet ni projet futur.De cette remise à zéro naît leur deuxième restaurant Maison Akène, à Ardres, dans une ancienne bâtisse du XVIIe siècle. Ismaïl raconte l'ouverture, la patience nécessaire pour s'installer, l'entrée au guide Michelin et une forme de sérénité durement retrouvée.Pour en savoir plus sur le restaurant d'Ismaïl à deux pas de Calais, c'est par ici.

His career includes sous chef at The Greenhouse in London, sous chef at Café Boulud Toronto and New York under Gavin Kaysen and Aaron Bludorn, and Executive Chef at Georgie by Curtis Stone.This episode starts in 2006. Toby is 23, backpacking across America, staying in a hostel. He gets a reservation at Restaurant Daniel. Shows up 20 minutes early, gets fitted with a dinner jacket from a room full of them, sits in the middle of the dining room as a solo diner, and has a meal he cannot describe but has never forgotten.

Why This Episode MattersThe Guys taste ʻŌkolehao, a nearly lost Hawaiian spirit made from kī root, and explore its unusual history and revival.Why Michelin retired its Green Star—and why judging sustainability is far more complicated than judging what arrives at the table.The economic problem facing bars devoted exclusively to non-alcoholic cocktails.A simple way to uncover better bottles and better values when restaurant wine-list prices are climbing.The BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott welcome two of their favorite guests: each other.Longtime listener Kelvin sends the Guys bottle number 125 of 150 from an early release of Ola ʻŌkolehao. They taste the Hawaiian spirit, find notes reminiscent of Scotch and Irish whiskey and dig into its history from its roots in Native Hawaiian culture to its disappearance and modern revival.Naturally, a discussion of spirits aged while being agitated at sea gives Mark an opening Francis never sees coming.The ConversationThe Guys begin with Michelin's decision to retire the Green Star. Recognizing restaurants for responsible sourcing and sustainable practices may be admirable, but Francis and Mark question whether such broad claims can be verified with the same confidence as food, service and the guest experience. That leads to a larger debate about Michelin's expanding reach, changing standards and whether professional restaurant critics still matter in the age of online reviews.Next, they consider the wave of mocktail-only bars and why so many have struggled to stay open. Both believe serious non-alcoholic drinks belong on every good cocktail list, but Mark questions whether a venue serving only zero-proof cocktails can compete economically with restaurants, traditional bars and coffee shops already serving the same audience.Finally, Francis shares a useful restaurant wine hack discovered in Aspen. When the bottle list starts at an uncomfortable price, look at the wines offered by the glass. Ask how many glasses the restaurant pours from a bottle and whether you can order a full bottle of one of those selections. You may find a more interesting wine at a substantially better price.Mark then reveals he has been using essentially the same strategy with pizza since the 1980s.Timestamps00:00 Tasting the revived Hawaiian spirit ʻŌkolehao05:35 The history, disappearance and return of ʻŌkolehao12:15 Why Michelin retired the Green Star16:25 Is Michelin diluting its restaurant standards?19:00 Can mocktail-only bars survive?26:20 Rising restaurant wine prices and the by-the-glass bottle hack31:20 Mark's remarkably similar pizza hackInfoOla ʻŌkolehao Distillery https://thespiritofhawaii.com/Restaurant Guys' Regulars https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/If you want a chance to get two tickets to our Bourbon, Beer & Beefsteak and live recording with Sother Teague and Jack McGarry in New Orleans on July 21, 2026,sign up to be a Restaurant Guys Regular (our paid subscribers) here  https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/ Then email TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com.

This week kicks off our summer rerun series, digging up the best tourism episodes from the archive while we take a break from new true crime deep dives. First up: 141, Tourists from Hell. Years of running walking tours and food tours in Seoul means years of collecting the worst behavior tourism has to offer. Hand holders who never read their confirmation emails. Tour-splainers who think they know the history better than the guide telling it. The no-show who ghosted, left a one-star review, then demanded a refund anyway. A hotel concierge (the irony) who wanted a private tour at group rates, only ate at Michelin-level places, and ended the day eating bread from a bakery because nothing else met his standards. Plus, why Joe stopped taking media fixer gigs after some genuinely great experiences with names like Bourdain and Zimmern, and a stack of tourist horror movie recommendations to close things out. If you've ever worked in hospitality, this one's for you. If you've ever been that guest, you might recognize yourself. Topics Discussed Introducing the "Tourist Season" summer replay series The most memorable difficult guests from years of leading tours "Hand holders" who never read booking information Tourists who showed up at the wrong location and demanded refunds Guests who tried to explain Korean history to the guides No-shows and last-minute cancellations Refund requests after missed tours Hecklers and guests with personal agendas The infamous "Touché!" guest Drunk guests and disruptive tour behavior Guests distracted by phones and Pokémon Go Problems unique to hiking tours Food tour horror stories Vegetarians booking Korean BBQ tours The worst guest ever: a hotel concierge with impossible expectations Working as media fixers for international television productions Positive experiences with Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, National Geographic, and Milk Street Horror film recommendations for travelers Mentioned During the Episode ZenKimchi Experiences The Dark Side of Seoul Tour Korean BBQ Experience Anthony Bourdain Andrew Zimmern National Geographic Milk Street Listen & Follow Website: https://darksideofseoul.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dark-side-of-seoul-podcast/id1504623984 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lZBXNX79kwH2NXcJWNcb8 Patreon: https://patreon.com/darksideofseoul YouTube: https://youtube.com/@darksideofseoul Instagram: https://instagram.com/darksideofseoul Facebook: https://facebook.com/darksideofseoul Contact: info@darksideofseoul.com About The Dark Side of Seoul The Dark Side of Seoul explores Korea's hidden history, folklore, true crime, urban legends, supernatural traditions, and the overlooked stories that shaped the peninsula.

In this episode, Carlos Antillano, Vice President of the Americas for Mauviel 1830, entrepreneur, author, and lifelong student, shares the journey that took him from selling cookware on eBay out of his bathroom to leading one of the world's most respected luxury cookware brands. Along the way, he reveals why curiosity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to learning have been the driving forces behind every opportunity he's earned.

Bonnie Campagnuolo, Global Brand Head at Embassy Suites by Hilton, sat down with Glenn on the rooftop of the Asheville property to explain how the brand is winning in the all-suites category — and why developers keep choosing it. The brand's "kit of parts" approach gives developers real flexibility. Build 150 keys in a small market or 500 keys in Nashville. Beach resort or urban downtown. Every property adapts to local demand while preserving the elements that made Embassy Suites Embassy Suites: two-room suites, breakfast omelets, evening reception. The Asheville rooftop, which is Michelin-recommended and busy seven nights a week, is one example of what the kit of parts makes possible. Where the brand is really evolving: food and beverage. Once an amenity, now a profitability engine. Rooftop restaurants, elevated meetings and events catering, and full-service dining give developers a first step into full-service without full-service complexity. That's why the pipeline is holding in a difficult development environment — with new properties opening across the U.S. and internationally in Africa, Doha, Dubai, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, Bruce Cleveland, legendary entrepreneur and venture capitalist, joins us to discuss his powerful new book, “Market Engineering: Because Markets Don’t Build Themselves.” The conversation brought together two former competitors who have since become allies in a shared mission: helping founders and executives understand that markets, like products, can be deliberately designed and engineered. Cleveland’s insights are drawn from decades of operating experience at companies like Siebel and Apple, as well as his work as a venture capitalist guiding early-stage startups. The core argument is simple but often ignored. Over 90% of startups fail not because their products are bad, but because they never take responsibility for shaping the market around those products. Cleveland and Lochhead agree that the companies who teach the market how to think about a problem, and then how to solve it, are the ones who become category kings and queens. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Bruce Cleveland on What Market Engineering Actually Means Bruce Cleveland defines market engineering as a five-part discipline that includes category design, positioning, messaging, storytelling, and thought leadership. When these elements are combined intentionally and consistently, they create gravitational pull. Customers seek you out, attend your events, and associate your brand with the future they want to be part of. Cleveland draws a sharp distinction between marketing and market engineering. He uses the analogy of a short-order cook at Denny’s versus a chef at a Michelin-star restaurant. Both have the same basic ingredients, but the outcomes are vastly different. The difference is knowing how to combine those ingredients with precision, purpose, and craft.   The Book as an Instruction Manual, Not Just Inspiration One of the most refreshing aspects of Bruce Cleveland’s approach is his insistence on practicality. He openly criticizes business books that fire readers up but leave them with no clear path forward. “Market Engineering” was written as a prescriptive guide, walking readers through specific frameworks like the Market Blueprint, Messaging Matrix, and Market Charter. To take this even further, Cleveland built an AI-powered platform called the Market Engineering Virtual Studio, trained on his own methodology using a neural symbolic recursion model named Finn. The platform allows users to actually build the documents and artifacts described in the book, turning static ideas into dynamic action. Cleveland and Lochhead both agree this model, combining a book, an AI companion, and a community, represents the future of business education.   Why Former Competitors Are Now Building the Same Category Together Perhaps the most telling moment in the conversation is when Lochhead reflects on the fact that he and Bruce Cleveland spent years as direct competitors, yet now champion nearly identical ideas. Rather than seeing this as a conflict, both men view it as validation. A category only exists when multiple credible voices contribute to defining it. Their combined efforts have helped make category design and market engineering part of the mainstream business conversation. Cleveland also speaks candidly about why he works primarily with pre-seed and early-stage companies that have limited capital. He prices his tools and services accessibly on purpose, takes small equity positions, and focuses on creating real economic impact. His philosophy is that helping startups succeed contributes more to society than any check he could write to a traditional charitable cause. For Bruce Cleveland, market engineering is not just a framework. It is a form of giving back.

He was a first investor and a board member of Marketo, which held an IPO in 2013 and was acquired in 2018 by Adobe for $4.75B. He was an early-stage investor in other notable companies such as C3.ai, Doximity, Vlocity, and Workday. Bruce also held senior executive roles in engineering, product management and product marketing at Apple, AT&T, C3.ai, Oracle and Siebel Systems. His book, Traversing the Traction Gap, is a prescriptive guide for startups and new product initiatives within larger companies helping teams to use ‘market engineering' techniques to successfully transition from Ideation to Scale. He attended the US Military Academy, West Point, New York, and received a BS in business administration from CSU, Sacramento. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.   Connect with Bruce Cleveland!
