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.

During our Saturday Mornings Sit-Down Conversation Part 1 “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys celebrate a landmark moment in Singapore’s hospitality scene with Jesmine Hall, Director of Commercial Marketing at Raffles Hotel Singapore. The iconic “Grande Dame” has achieved a rare double success—becoming the first and only hotel in Singapore to be awarded the prestigious Three Keys distinction by the MICHELIN Guide, and securing the No. 5 spot in The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025. Jesmine shares how Raffles earned these accolades, the rigorous criteria behind them, and why they matter in a crowded global tourism landscape. We explore what makes Raffles unique—from its architecture and legendary customer service to its ability to blend heritage with modern luxury. Jesmine also offers a glimpse into Raffles’ plans for 2026, and how the hotel continues to stay relevant while honouring its 138-year legacy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

In just four years, the premium alcohol-free wine French Bloom has become a global luxury brand — sold in 60+ countries, producing 500K bottles in 2024, and on track to double sales in 2025. It also became the first non-alcoholic brand backed by LVMH, signaling a new era for luxury drinks without alcohol.Co-founder Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger, formerly of the Michelin Guide, shares how she turned a personal need into a brand — and made moderation aspirational.

On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for November 11, 2025: we take a hard pivot from news and politics to food and beverage as four South Carolina restaurants were awarded Michelin stars, and several more were given prominent designations in the Michelin Guide; we talk with Hannah Raskin, one of the South's most preeminent voices in the South's food, beverage, and dining culture scene; and more!

It arrived in the hands of a waiter, who moved with the lightness and grace of a ballet dancer across the restaurant floor. It had a fleshy colour. A creamy, brown kind of hue. It was inflated to the size of a balloon, but the shape was slightly less uniform. “Asparagus,” said the waiter. “Prepared in this pig's bladder.” I don't know how many bladder-based meals you've had in your life but that was a first for me. The asparagus, I should say, was absolutely delicious. But not so amazing that I personally felt compelled to give up roasting food in my oven in favour of bladder cooking, from then on. I was dining at Eleven Madison Park. It's an extraordinary fine-dining restaurant at the foot of Madison Ave in New York, just across the way from the Flatiron Building. Tom Brady had his penthouse across the road. I once saw Rupert Murdoch walking his dog in the park outside. And the food at ELP is as fancy as the neighbours. As a winner of three Michelin Stars, Eleven Madison Park is widely considered one of the very best restaurants in the world. The Michelin Star system is certainly an effective marketing tool. It has been with me. I've sought out other Michelin-starred restaurants in New York, including when Kiwi Matt Lambert won a star for his work at The Musket Room. I've dined in Bilbao, where they have a higher concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere on Earth. I've lined up early and eaten at what was the world's cheapest Michelin starred restaurant – dim sum in Hong Kong. As much as anything, I've treated eating at most of these places as an experience. A rare treat. Not so much as a source of nourishment, but as food for memories. As the Michelin judges turn their attention to our restaurant scene, I just hope they don't come here expecting the absolute finest of fine-dining. I appreciate they look at a range of restaurants, but for a few exceptions, la-de-dah's not really us. We don't do fussy. We don't do fiddly. We do a more casual, relaxed style that befits our culture. Really good ingredients cooked well and more often than not, designed to be shared. It's funny, as incredible as my night was at Eleven Madison Park, the single best meal of my life wasn't at a Michelin-starred restaurant. There were no white tablecloths, no sommelier-curated wine list. It was in tiny, legally questionable firetrap of an apartment in Paris, that my best mate called his home. I'd flown in with another mate the day before, and the three of us had gone for a long jog by the Seine to try and kick the jetlag. On the way back home, we stopped by one of the local farmers' markets and picked up some gooey cheese, tomatoes, salami, and baguette. We sprawled out on the floor of the apartment, cutting off hunks of each and stuffing them into our mouths. It was heaven. And that's the thing about the best meals. Ultimately, it's not the truffle mousse or the poached dodo's egg or even the inflated pig's bladder that makes the magic, it's the people. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some restaurateurs are starry-eyed at the prospect of the prestigious Michelin Guide setting its sights on eateries across the country. For the first time in 125 years the Michelin guide will include restaurants from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown in an inaugural New Zealand edition to be released next year. But not everyone in the industry is fizzing, with one leading chef warning that there is a dark side to the star. Finn Blackwell dishes the details.

There's excitement among Kiwi food experts and hospo giants about what the Michelin Guide's arrival could do for tourism. Tourism New Zealand is investing $6.3 million to bring the guide to New Zealand, and it's estimated 36,000 more international visitors could be drawn in as a result. Executive chef at Ahi and New Zealand Food Story host Ben Bayly says this move will give the nation's food sector more credibility. "Let's face it, gastronomic tourism right now is huge, people are travelling all over the world to eat food - that is their main driver for coming to countries now."
