Thomas Keller has built a collection of restaurants that have set new standards in the hospitality profession. As the first American-born chef to receive multiple three-star ratings from the Michelin Guide for The French Laundry and Per Se and one star for The Surf Club Restaurant, he is the most recognized American chef by Michelin. In 2011, he was designated a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, the first American male chef to be so honored. He is the author of six cookbooks, including The French Laundry Cookbook, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.Alice Waters is the visionary chef and owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. She is the author of four cookbooks, including Chez Panisse Vegetables and Fanny at Chez Panisse. In 1994 she founded the Edible schoolyard at Berkeley's Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, a model curriculum that integrates organic gardening into academic classes and into the life of the school.On May 29, 2025,  Thomas Keller and Alice Waters came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an onstage conversation with Phil Rosenthal, the creator of the PBS documentary series “I'll Have What Phil's Having” and Netflix's “Somebody Feed Phil.” 

Oops, he did it again. To nobody's great surprise, Jake Bickelhaupt is back to punching ladies. In tonight's episode we talk about that series of crimes, and discuss how it's related to the (outdated, irrelevant) Michelin Guide star awards. Be warned, there are graphic descriptions of domestic violence in this episode.Want to be part of the show?

This episode of The Food Professor Podcast is steeped in insights, storytelling, and smoky Texas flavour. Hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois kick off with a deep dive into the state of Canadian agri-food policy, tariffs, and food inflation before welcoming a very special guest: Tonia Jahshan, Founder and CEO of Sipology.Broadcasting remotely from Texas, Sylvain shares updates from his new role as head of the prestigious Masters in Agribusiness program at Texas A&M University—ranked #1 in the U.S. and #3 globally. He offers behind-the-scenes insights into the world of American ag education, donor-funded infrastructure, and his leadership plans. Amidst meetings with deans and exploring campus, Sylvain visits a Texas institution of another kind—Buc-ee's, the legendary convenience store-meets-theme-park known for its brisket, wall of jerky, and award-winning bathrooms. The hosts revel in Buc-ee's cult status and then Michael highlights the newly released Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ list, the Michelin Guide of Texas barbecue. Sylvain, a BBQ enthusiast, is already planning future brisket pilgrimages.  Congrats to our guest on the #pod from earlier this year Chuck Charnichart from Barb's BQ for making the list!!From Texas to Toronto, the episode pivots to policy with an analysis of Prime Minister Mark Carney's new mandate letter. Sylvain critiques its lack of clarity for the agri-food sector, calling for a shift from farm-gate thinking to value-chain strategy. The hosts then turn to the thorny issue of tea tariffs, which are hitting Canadian importers hard despite recent government reprieves. With tea being a $1.3 billion market in Canada—and nearly all of it imported—these tariffs are creating real cost pressures. The duo also revisits the long-running bread price-fixing investigation, discussing Loblaw's recent $500 million class action settlement and why the Competition Bureau's probe remains unresolved.In the second half of the episode, Tonia Jahshan joins the pod live from the SIAL Canada show floor. The inspirational founder of Sipology (formerly Steeped Tea) shares her origin story: how a single sip of loose-leaf Earl Grey in Nova Scotia after a miscarriage led to a wellness-focused tea empire. From launching a side hustle to pitching on Dragons' Den, growing to 8,000 consultants, and creating Health Canada-approved products like menopause relief teas and fizzy matchas, Tonia's entrepreneurial journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and remarkable growth. Now expanding globally and embracing an omni-channel model, she's brewing up a bold new future for Sipology.With a rich mix of policy insights, business strategy, entrepreneurial inspiration—and a side of Texas BBQ—this episode is a flavourful must-listen.

A former professional sculptor, he turned to the culinary world during the global financial crisis and has since become a celebrated figure in modern cuisine. As the head chef at YOY Neo Bistro and a global ambassador for Ukrainian food, Yurii has trained at top culinary institutions across Europe and earned recognition from the Michelin Guide for his innovative creations. With restaurants in Seoul, Tbilisi, London, and The Seychelles, his work emphasizes sustainability, molecular gastronomy, and culinary diplomacy—bringing Ukrainian flavours to tables around the world.About this EpisodeIn this episode, Yurii Kovryzhenko shares his extraordinary journey from sculptor to chef and how a life-altering decision during the 2008 financial crisis led him to a Buddhist monastery in France—and ultimately, the kitchen. He recounts how starting from the bottom as a commis in a French restaurant shaped his perspective and how the principles of Zen Buddhism, especially attentiveness, continue to guide his culinary approach today.Yurii discusses his formal training in top culinary schools across France, Spain, and Italy, and how mastering techniques allowed him to become a true creator in the kitchen. Passionate about Ukrainian cuisine, he talks about modernizing traditional dishes using global techniques while preserving their soul. From molecular borscht to his dedication to sustainability and the Slow Food movement, Yurii gives listeners a taste of how food can be art, heritage, and diplomacy all at once.He also opens up about his role in promoting culinary diplomacy for Ukraine, the impact of using local produce in international kitchens, and the lessons he learned from a failed restaurant venture in London.

I was bankrupt and searching for a new path when I found myself in a Buddhist monastery in France.2:40 - I started in the kitchen from the lowest level—cleaning greens and peeling potatoes—but that was the moment I realized it was the best place in the world.3:40 - The main idea of Zen Buddhism is attention. Even when you chop an onion, you must be fully present—to avoid cutting yourself and to honor the ingredient.6:01 - Kitchen is not just art; it's a system. The head chef is a manager who understands techniques and chemistry, not just someone who follows recipes.8:01 - Ukrainian food is my foundation. I preserve the flavor but modernize the shape and presentation to connect with global guests.9:04 - My mission is to make people from other nations fall in love with Ukrainian food by blending familiar local tastes with Ukrainian recipes.10:41 - I always use local and seasonal products because they carry more flavor and allow me to connect with people through familiar tastes.12:18 - The slow food movement started as a protest against fast food like McDonald's—championing local ingredients and culinary traditions instead.14:40 - Molecular gastronomy is not about trends—it's about preserving taste and flavor while transforming the shape to surprise and delight.16:54 - Food goes straight to the heart. Culinary diplomacy can be more powerful than words when it comes to building bridges between nations.18:52 - DuThe Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

Whether you're a seasoned collector, a curious traveler, or a budding enthusiast, this conversation is your ticket to discovering how wine, history, culture, and adventure blend seamlessly—offering both memorable journeys and valuable insights.  Meet the Expert Panelists Madeline Puckette is a certified sommelier, award-winning author, and co-founder of Wine Folly, a leading platform for wine education known for its visually engaging and approachable style.

The Magic of Culinary Pairings and Local Culture All panelists agree: pairing wine with local cuisine is more than a meal—it's a cultural immersion. Amanda shares, “Sometimes the diet, the gastronomy also really influences the style of wine that comes from that region. Those pairings can be magical.” Local festivals and traditions bring wine's story to life.  Wine Collecting and Investment: Pleasure Over Profits Alder Yarrow delivers a candid take on wine investment: “Buy wine that you intend to drink...but don't think you're going to use it to increase your nest egg.” The panel advocates for collecting as a means to richer experiences, not just financial returns, and offers practical tips for new collectors.

Faiyaz Kara, restaurant critic with the Orlando Weekly, talks about the Michelin Guide awarding two stars to Sorekara yesterday. Sorekara is just the second Florida restaurant to get two Michelin Guide stars. The other is in Miami. Michelin Guide also awarded a star to Omo by Jont in Winter Park. Faiyaz also shares his review of The Chapman in Winter Park with its Florida-centric fare, along with his reviews of other restaurants.

Many Florida restaurants have received nods from some pretty prestigious organizations.At the same time, there's a whole other culinary scene that's equally popular—one that, sadly, will likely never be the radar of the prestigious Michelin Guide or James Beard Foundation. We're talking about food served in convenience stores, gas stations and other mom-and-pop eateries. Maybe you've eaten some amazing food in these places. Maybe you're even among the tens of thousands of people who follow our guest on social media.Anthony Gilbert, better known online as Call Anthony, has garnered a cult-like following with his video reviews of Tampa Bay's under-the-radar eateries. That standing-room-only barbecue joint? Anthony says it's got the best smoked oxtails in town. The $5 chicken wings in the sketchy-looking corner store? There's a reason why that place is always packed. If you're feeling uneasy about going inside, Anthony will show you that there's nothing to worry about.Anthony grew up in the housing projects of East Tampa, and most of his reviews highlight food spots in underprivileged neighborhoods. But his fan base is wide-reaching, helping to bring a variety of customers to small, often Black-owned businesses.Anthony stopped by the Zest studios at WUSF Public Media for a chat with Dalia Colón and Alexandria Ebron. In this conversation, he shares some of his favorite local eateries, why he believes his food reviews are resonating with the public and his plans to open a restaurant of his own. Warning: This conversation will make you hungry.

If you're tripping your way around Europe independently, travelling by train is the incomparable transport mode of choice. It's the fast, efficient and faff-free way to travel, with the added bonus of depositing you in the absolute heart of dream European destinations. But across Europe, their grand and venerable railway stations also house some remarkable restaurant experiences – the real hidden treasures housed within these grand-scale transport hubs. So why settle for an underwhelming grab-and-go sandwich when Europe's busiest stations host some brilliant trackside brasseries and bistros? They're also a great way to herald your arrival or departure from some glittering destinations. More and more of these station restaurants have really upped their culinary game in recent years. So where should you go to sample some of the best in class? Starting in London, Booking Office 1869 is located within St. Pancras Station. As the name suggests, it was originally the vast ticket office for the station. Four years ago, the space was redesigned as a Victorian-style winter garden, with towering palm trees and plant-themed chandeliers. Each one of features 275 hand-cut brass leaves! Backed by exposed brickwork, a superb 22-metre-long bar, carved from marble and walnut. Dining? Expect British classics alongside nods to far-flung destinations. The Scottish charcuterie board is perfect for lunch. It's also a great spot for high tea. Paris? You cannot beat Le Train Bleu at Gare de Lyon. Dating back to 1901, this explosion of Belle Époque grandeur fast became a meeting place for artists, poets and playwrights, and the decor was inspired by the Mediterranean coast's most glamorous destinations. The walls are lined with priceless watercolour paintings, while chandeliers, gilt-framed mirrors, frescos and leather banquettes ramp up the luxury. Headlining the delectable menu, Provençal-style octopus stew and the roast leg of lamb, carved tableside. You may recall this is the restaurant from the Bean Movie, where Mr Bean had some trouble trying to swallow the king prawns. For a memorable first-class dining experience in Amsterdam, the Grand Café Restaurant 1e Klas is located by Platform 2 of the Centraal Station. It also embodies the timeless romance of rail travel, with the restaurant preserving its original look and elegant style of the 19th century. It was originally the first-class waiting hall. The extensive menu offers quick turnarounds, while the croquette and bitterbal tasting is very popular. True to the weird and eclectic Dutch sense of humour, a rather talkative cockatoo called Elvis, perched by the bar. Tripping to Spain? Estación Barcelona-Sants station is home to La Mundana. This recent Bib Gourmand recipient serves up masterful takes on Spanish, Japanese and French classics, tapas-style. Artistically plated, it's a stirring dining experience, but also sharply-priced and unpretentious. For steeply-priced posh nosh in Brussels, La Brasserie de la Gare Brussels Midi has earned the Michelin Guide's stamp of approval. But aside from the cuisine, it's the décor that is the big draw, with antique train lanterns, train timetables and railway workers' hats richly adorning the restaurant. For a bite that won't weigh too heavily on your wallet, whistle up some shrimp croquettes. If you're Itay-bound and find yourself at Stazione Centrale in Milan, check out All'AnticoVinaio. This exuberantly decorated eatery and its owner has become a Tik Tok sensation, with videos galore of him constructing his double-decker Italian subs. Made using the freshest schiacciata bread, sink your teeth into the ‘Favolosa' sandwich, which is stacked with salami, pecorino cheese, artichoke spread and spicy eggplants. If you're after a Golden Arches experience to blow your hair back, Nyugati Railway Station in Budapest, Hungary, is home to what is claimed to be the world's most beautiful McDonald's. It has just reopened after a tip-to-toe restoration to the 150 year old building. The antique lamps and painted stucco ceilings have been refreshed, keeping the vintage designs in place, including the huge glass windows that go around the entire building, as well as copper-covered light fixtures. Amid all the neo-Classical glory from the Hapsburg empire, the touch-screen ordering kiosks look curiously out of place. Finally, a newcomer to the star-factor scene of railway restaurants can be found in Athens at Rouf Station. Greek actress Tatiana Ligari founded Wagon Restaurant restoring several vintage train carriages - including the original dining car from the 1926 Simplon Orient Express. A century later, the carriage is a fabulous restaurant and bar once again. The evocative romance of rail lives on. Spending some time in some of these restaurants is virtually worth missing your train for. Grab a ticket to ride on the European railway network with a Eurail Pass. On popular rail routes, it certainly pays to make a seat reservation in advance. Lock in your rail plans ahead of your trip, by booking tickets or a rail pass to suit with Eurail direct. The mobile pass is the way to go. The Eurail app is easy to navigate, packed with helpful information and benefits, network disruption notifications, and enabling you to check timetables, lock-in and change bookings on the go, via your phone. www.eurail.com Mike Yardley is Newstalk ZB's resident traveller and can be heard every week on Saturday Mornings with Jack Tame.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been five years since the pandemic forced us to wipe down our groceries, binge Tiger King, and pick up hobbies like basket weaving or, in my case, eating 100 pizzas in 365 days. Of course, COVID also notably sent shockwaves through the restaurant industry, and to this day, the labor market still hasn't recovered. What's behind the lag and what are industry pros doing about it? Father Sal is with us to discuss two excellent articles by Adam Reiner on this exact topic. Also on the episode today, seven LA restaurants were added to the California Michelin Guide, which ones are we most excited to try? Listen to find out. Plus, a meal at the number 17 restaurant in the world, an LA food romantic drama unfolds on Instagram, a celebrity chef (Joshua Weissman) deems LA the best street food city in the world, and a couple of Chinese teenagers get a little frisky with a steaming bowl of hot pot. Helpful links:Join me at Family Meal on Monday March 24th!

February 23, 2005. New York City's culinary elite gather at Gotham Hall. Tuxedoed waiters pass around champagne flutes and decadent hors d'oeuvres, as famous chefs like Eric Ripert and Anthony Bourdain pose for photos and gossip with their peers before the night's main event: an announcement that could change their lives and the fate of America's dining scene. Édouard Michelin takes the stage. His company, Michelin, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of tires, but they also produce a restaurant guide that has dictated the fortunes of European restaurants for over 100 years. Now, the Michelin Guide, and its coveted stars, will be coming to America. When Michelin descends on New York City, which restaurants win? Which lose? And how does the battle itself transform American food culture? Special thanks to Peter Esmond, the former general manager of Per Se and current sales leader at DoorDash; Eric Ripert, chef of Le Bernardin in New York City; and Kathleen Squires, a food and travel writer whose work appears in the Wall Street Journal, Conde Nast Traveler and more.

Chicago is a city of food as much as it is a city of neighborhoods and cultural communities. Last episode, we talked about how Chicago may not have a concentrated Filipino enclave, in the way neighborhoods like Chinatown and Humboldt Park are cultural hubs. But the community comes together and supports each other nonetheless. And Filipino food in Chicago is definitely a part of that. This cultural cuisine has been on the scene for a long time, but only in the past few years has it really started to get its flowers. It's even grabbed the attention of the Michelin Guide and James Beard Awards. Today, we taste some creations by serial entrepreneur, Frances Almeda as well as chef and owner of A Taste of the Philippines, Kathy Vega Hardy. And we talk about why Vega Hardy says “a sense of community” goes a long way for Filipino food entrepreneurs in the city.

The BanterThe Guys talk about elements of a great restaurant: excellent food, good atmosphere and discretion.The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys welcome acclaimed chef from Eleven Madison Park, Daniel Humm, to the show to discuss his new cookbook and how EMP does things a bit differently than other places to create a unique dining experience. The Inside TrackThe Guys have had the great pleasure of eating at Eleven Madison Park and are thrilled to chat with Daniel Humm. Their restaurants have some differences, but Daniel sums up the similarities like this.“You can have great food, great wine, but in the end, we are in the people business. You need to have great people.  The people need to be happy and that's it,” Daniel Humm on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2011BioDaniel Humm was born in Switzerland in 1979. In 2003, he moved to the United States to become the executive chef at Campton Place in San Francisco. Three years later, he moved to New York to become the executive chef at Eleven Madison Park, and in 2011 he and his business partner Will Guidara purchased the restaurant from Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group. The following year also opened the critically acclaimed NoMad New York. In 2018 Humm and Guidara opened NoMad Los Angeles. Humm opened Davies and Brook, his first restaurant outside the US at London's historic Claridge's. In 2021, he reopened Eleven Madison Park with a completely plant-based menu. Eleven Madison Park became the first and only plant-based restaurant in Michelin Guide history to receive a three-star rating in October 2022. The restaurant again received a three-Michelin-star rating in 2023. In the fall of 2024, Daniel opened Clemente Bar, a bar and dining hotspot, on the second story of Eleven Madison Park.He is the owner of Daniel Humm Hospitality group and the author of five books.InfoDaniel Humm Hospitalityhttps://www.hummhospitality.com/Daniel's First EMP CookbookEleven Madison Park: The Cookbook by Daniel Humm and Will Guidaraby Daniel Humm, Will Guidara, Francesco Tonelli (Photographer)Join us for The Restaurant Guys LIVE Chef Series at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center this spring!

Sometimes it feels like the local restaurant scene runs on hype. Just yesterday, the James Beard Foundation announced the semifinalists for their prestigious 2025 awards, including a bunch of local favorites. But especially as inflation pushes up the cost of going out to eat, do any of those accolades matter to eaters? Writer and former fine-dining server Jake Browne wrote a biting critique of one local awards favorite and the whole hype machine, and he joined host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to discuss it on the show last summer — just a few days before the Michelin Guide re-upped BRUTØ's star. Bree mentioned the James Beard Foundation's announcement yesterday of the semifinalists for their 2025 awards. Paul mentioned this great article from The New York Times about how the Michelin Guide's business model has changed and why Michelin came to Colorado in the first place.  Make your voice heard!
