Carmina and Patch's digestive juices overflowed during their exploration of the Michelin Guide's inaugural visit to the Philippines. They chat about the Guide's surprising origin story, why its stars are considered by some as the culinary world's most coveted honor (although they will talk about why some chefs are resisting this notion!) and explore how a single distinction can transform a restaurant's journey—both positively and negatively. Just as importantly, they talk about the controversies that shadow the Guide and discuss perspectives on how to celebrate this milestone with both pride and mindfulness.Learn more: Why Michelin Guide PH matters — and what it means for Filipino chefs, culture, The MICHELIN Guide Manila and Environs & Cebu Bib Gourmand 2026 Selection, The inaugural Michelin Guide Philippines is the beginning—not the endpoint—of important food conversations, Michelin Guide Philippines, and first lap honors, and PODCASTS: Over Seasoned Podcast and  The Halo-Halo Show.

Memories of J.C. Holdway from his sister, Juanita Holdway Evans; Chef Joseph Lenn; and her daughter, Emily Lenn. Fred Saucepan shares Joe and Janette Carter's Chow Chow recipe and kitchen memories. Today, I went to the deep freeze and pulled out a recording that I made in 2016 with Chef Joseph Lenn, Joseph's mother (Emily Lenn), and a late friend of mine, Juanita Evans, who was Joseph Lenn's grandmother and the sister of J.C. Holdway. J.C. Holdway is the namesake of the downtown Knoxville restaurant created by Chef Joseph Lenn and named after his Uncle Joe. The restaurant, J.C. Holdway, has been in the news lately, receiving the prestigious designation of “Recommended” by the renowned Michelin Guide in its inaugural regional publication of restaurants in the Southeast. Chef Lenn is also a James Beard Award–winning chef. I thought it would be a great time to play this recording we made together before he opened his restaurant. I (Amy Campbell) am an artist, and I wanted to paint a portrait of Uncle Joe as a kind of encouraging gift to Chef Lenn before the restaurant was created. You may have seen that painting, along with my portraits of Allan Benton, Eugenia Duke, Bill Best, and John Coykendall at J.C. Holdway.Keep scrolling to see those images below. We also hear a recording by Fred Saucepan with memories from Janette and Joe Carter (children of A.P. and Sara Carter of the original band The Carter Family) as he shares their recipe for Chow Chow.

Megan Gallagher, Producer of the Jackson Hole Food & Wine festival hops on to talk about the upcoming festivites.

It was a landmark night for Irish food and hospitality – and for Clare in particular - as the Michelin Guide ceremony was held in Ireland for the very first time — and there was strong Clare and Cork representation on the stage. Doonaha native Barbara Nealon took home the prestigious Michelin Service Award for her work at Saint Francis Provisions in Kinsale, while artisan producer Siobhán Ní Gharbaith was also present on the night, proudly showcasing Irish cheese to an international audience. They both spoke with Alan Morrissey on Friday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Michelin Guide

Evelyn O'Rourke, Arts & Media Correspondent, discusses the Michelin Guide Britain and Ireland Awards, ahead of tonight's ceremony in Dublin.

The Michelin Awards are set to be hosted in Dublin for the first time this coming Monday. There's much talk about who might be added to the list or if Ireland will finally get its third star, but what is the significance of getting a star, and how are they awarded? One man who knows a thing or two about it is Ross Lewis of Chapter One, who received his own coveted star many years ago.

For more on this we are joined by Katie McGuinness, restaurant critic with the Irish Independent.

There's a rough rule of thumb when it comes to paying to dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant: stars cost around €100 each. That's according to Irish Times restaurant reviewer Corinna Hardgrave, who explains what it takes for a restaurant to win a Michelin star and what it means for them when they do.Ireland has 18 one-star and five two-star restaurants – but no three stars.For the first time the Michelin Guide is holding its awards ceremony in Dublin, on Monday, and Hardgrave gives her predictions on who might get a new star and who might be awarded an extra one. However she says nothing is predictable with the highly secretive Michelin.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

In this episode of OverSeasoned, the crew dives headfirst into a full-blown pho obsession after discovering unforgettable Vietnamese soup in Manila and Thailand. What starts as travel food fatigue turns into a deep appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine, broth culture, and the subtle differences between Northern pho vs Southern pho.They debate the Michelin Guide's impact on restaurants, why Bib Gourmand spots often beat three-star dining, and how global cities like Manila and Montreal can deliver world-class bowls of pho. The episode also explores soup culture across countries, including Colombian classics like caldo de costilla, and how those traditions connect to the love of pho (& soup season writ large) If you love food travel, Vietnamese food, and Michelin debates… this one's for you.

Dave makes one of his favorite dishes, one he is still trying to truly taste: a plain bowl of white rice. He talks about trying to train his palate to tune out all of the noise, with plain white rice serving as his guide. Dave also asks whether the Michelin Guide, the world, or even he himself is learning and listening enough to decree what is good and worth rewarding.Who would have thought we could get so deep from plain white rice?

Food writers John Curtas and Lorraine Blanco Moss join host Sonja Cho Swanson to debate whether the once-gold standard still means something — or if it's just expensive hype — and what it could actually change about the city's dining scene.

Step into the story of LA's culinary evolution with Wine Talks, where conversations are poured as generously as the wine. In this episode, I welcomes legendary restaurateur Piero Selvaggio—a man whose career spans the golden age of Los Angeles dining, and whose philosophy on food and wine has inspired chefs, winemakers, and bon vivants the world over. Wine Talks isn't just about swirling glasses and describing bouquets—it's about the unforgettable people behind the bottle, and the moments that shape the table. Imagine LA in the early 1970s, when Italian cuisine meant little more than checkered cloths and spaghetti. Into this world, Piero Selvaggio arrived with little more than $5,000 and a vision—an immigrant's drive, sharpened by honesty and the hunger for authenticity. Through his iconic restaurant Valentino, Piero Selvaggio became both a host and a bridge—introducing LA to the wonders of Italian food beyond the basics, and to wines that would soon rewrite world history. The cast is rich with characters: Jim Barrett of Chateau Montelena, the quiet revolutionary behind the Judgment of Paris; Wolfang Puck and Michael McCarty, friends and culinary disruptors; and a procession of winemakers, chefs, and critics who together transformed LA's dining scene from backwater to beacon. But at the heart of the story is Piero Selvaggio's enduring message: passion and curiosity are what make the journey worthwhile. He shares how a well-timed piece of honest criticism set him on a path of discovery, how the bonds between food, wine, and people mean more than accolades, and how restaurants aren't just businesses—they're places of memory, inspiration, and celebration. As Paul Kalemkiarian and Piero Selvaggio unfold the tale, you'll hear about earthquakes that shatter cellars but never friendships, about the pursuit of true ingredients, and about the resilience behind the glamour—especially in times of uncertainty. The conversation is a tribute to tradition, innovation, and the spirit that keeps us gathering, toasting, and tasting no matter what. Listen to Wine Talks for a seat at the table of LA's great culinary adventure, and find yourself inspired not just to drink, but to savor the story in every glass.   winepodcast, LArestauranthistory, Italiancuisine, PieroSelvaggio, PaulKalemkiarian, Valentinorestaurant, winecollecting, JudgmentofParis, Californiawines, foodandwinepairing, restaurantbusiness, Michelinguide, chefculture, winedistributors, winelistcuration, pandemicrestaurants, culinaryinnovation, sommelierstories, finedining, wineeducation, neighborhoodrestaurants

If you regularly dined out in New York City over the last 40 years, you've probably eaten at one of Drew Nieporent's restaurants. He opened nearly 40 of them, mostly in New York. His most well-known restaurant is, of course, Nobu, the restaurant that started the global sushi franchise. However, earlier on, there was Montrachet, a groundbreaking spot in Tribeca that maintained its three-star rating from The New York Times for 21 years. That restaurant location later opened as Bâtard, earning three stars from The Times and two from the Michelin Guide. Then there's Tribeca Grill, which, like Nobu, he opened with partner Robert De Niro, as well as the chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Drew recently looked back on his long and storied career in his book, I'm Not Trying to Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches, which he wrote with food writer Jamie Feldmar. Just as in his book, Drew is candid in his discussion with guest host Gloria Dawson, which touches on everything from the role of the restaurateur to why most reviews no longer matter much and what to look for in a business partner.

The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys discuss the much-anticipated arrival of the Michelin Guide in New York City, marking the first time the prestigious guide has reviewed restaurants in the United States. They delve into the significance of Michelin stars  and the impact of receiving Michelin stars on restaurants in terms of recognition and business. They highlight some of the newly starred restaurants in New York, such as Per Se, Jean-Georges, and Le Bernardin, and comment on notable inclusions and exclusions. Then, inexplicably, they move on to allergies and fruitcake. The Inside TrackThe Guys talk about fruitcake manufacturers petitioning the FDA to reduce a serving of fruit cake from 4.4 oz to 1.5 oz to keep the calories per serving low.“And so what I would like to say to these fruitcake manufacturers as a result of this petition, we're saying on the air that fruitcake is not only bad, it's bad for you,” Francis Schott on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2006InfoThe 2025 Michelin Guide NYChttps://guide.michelin.com/us/en/new-york-state/new-york/restaurants?sort=distanceEnjoy over-decorated restaurants with Christmas cocktails through January 6, 2026https://www.catherinelombardi.com/Check out New Year's Eve in New Brunswick, NJhttps://www.newbrunswicknewyearseve.com/ Become a Restaurant Guys' Regular!https://www.buzzsprout.com/2401692/subscribeMagyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Withum Accounting https://www.withum.com/restaurantOur Places Stage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/ Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/ Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/ To hear more about food, wine and the finer things in life:https://www.instagram.com/restaurantguyspodcast/https://www.facebook.com/restaurantguysReach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com**Become a Restaurant Guys Regular and get two bonus episodes per month, bonus content and Regulars Only events.**Click Below!https://www.buzzsprout.com/2401692/subscribe

Je to venku! Je po slavnostní ceremonii Michelin Guide. Tenhle díl podcastu 111 jsem nahrál jako report ze zákulisí. Vyzpovídal jsem v něm všechny kuchaře, které jsem po ceremonii potkal. A nebýt technické závady, byl by to naprosto fantastický díl přímo z místa dění. Bylo oceněno 83 podniků a bylo úplně jasné, že to přinese radost i zklamání. V tomhle díle popisuju v krátkosti, jak celou situaci vidím já. Děkuju všem, co se mnou strávili 52 týdnů s tímhle podcastem a budu se těšit na ty další. #111 #gastromapalukasehejlika

Nashville is buzzing right now because three of our restaurants were just awarded Michelin stars. They're the first restaurants in Nashville ever featured in the Michelin Guide. I'm not one of those people who pay too much attention to the Guide, the AAA Diamond ratings, or anything fancy like that. I've eaten at restaurants with stars and diamonds. The meals were terrific, but I've never been too concerned with what the critics think. I understand why these restaurants seek notoriety, but can this system be gamed?. The restaurants honored here in Nashville are all fine establishments. But do these ratings really matter that much? I do wonder...

This week, the OverSeasoned Podcast crew goes all-in on the one thing the food world won't shut up about: Michelin stars. From Manila's first-ever Michelin Guide debut to Philadelphia finally getting recognized (after Tampa… seriously?), we break down how the star system actually works (and why the hype so often misses the mark).Why can't a “special journey” can't just mean driving two hours for the world's best empanada instead of a four-hour tasting menu that tells you when to speak? We debate Bib Gourmand vs. fine dining, laugh about $19 endive salads and $15 Stella in Vegas, drop Bourdain lore, and unpack why hospitality at the highest levels can feel more like you're in their house… not a restaurant you're paying a fortune to visit.If you love restaurants, cooking, travel, culinary storytelling, or you just want to hear us roast the Michelin Guide with love, humor, and a bit of salt… this is your episode.

Jaime and Matt connect with long-time Boston chef Chris Coombs to talk about the recent designations issued by the Michelin Guide in Boston. The chefs dive into the reason the guide came to Boston, its impact on food tourism and what chefs in the city do next.

We're back with our Friday News Roundup, as host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz dissect the week that was: Mayor Parker's signature housing initiative is on ice, Sen. John Fetterman is home from the hospital and back to selling (or not selling) his book, the restaurant Laurel won a Michelin nod but then closed, and restaurateur Stephen Starr got snubbed by the Michelin Guide and then critiqued by Inquirer restaurant critic, Craig Laban, for his new Rittenhouse Square spot, Borromoni.  Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism:  One of Philadelphia's Michelin-recommended restaurants will be closing for good on Friday Stephen Starr's Borromini should be a showstopper. Instead, it's a shrug. John Fetterman's Memoir Is As Low-Effort As His Senate Tenure Legislation would let City Council members stay in office while running for Congress   Funding for Mayor Cherelle Parker's H.O.M.E. initiative will be delayed until next year Philly Housing Authority plans to lay off almost 300 workers in 2026 Get Philly news & events in your inbox with our newsletter: Hey Philly Call or text us: 215-259-8170 We're also on Instagram: @citycastphilly And don't forget—you can support this show and get great perks by becoming a City Cast Philly Neighbor at membership.citycast.fm.

Memories of J.C. Holdway from his sister, Juanita Holdway Evans; Chef Joseph Lenn; and her daughter, Emily Lenn. Fred Saucepan shares Joe and Janette Carter's Chow Chow recipe and kitchen memories. Today, I went to the deep freeze and pulled out a recording that I made in 2016 with Chef Joseph Lenn, Joseph's mother (Emily Lenn), and a late friend of mine, Juanita Evans, who was Joseph Lenn's grandmother and the sister of J.C. Holdway. J.C. Holdway is the namesake of the downtown Knoxville restaurant created by Chef Joseph Lenn and named after his Uncle Joe. The restaurant, J.C. Holdway, has been in the news lately, receiving the prestigious designation of “Recommended” by the renowned Michelin Guide in its inaugural regional publication of restaurants in the Southeast.
Chef Lenn is also a James Beard Award–winning chef. I thought it would be a great time to play this recording we made together before he opened his restaurant. I am an artist, and I wanted to paint a portrait of Uncle Joe as a kind of encouraging gift to Chef Lenn before the restaurant was created. You may have seen that painting, along with my portraits of Allan Benton, Eugenia Duke, Bill Best, and John Coykendall at J.C. Holdway. We also hear a recording by Fred Saucepan with memories from Janette and Joe Carter (children of A.P. and Sara Carter of the original band The Carter Family) as he shares their recipe for Chow Chow. And I share news of the Resilient Farmer Fund fundraiser concert tonight (Nov. 15, 2025) at the Paramount Theatre in Bristol, TN/VA. Doors open at 6, and music starts at 7 p.m.
