This is a Vintage episode from 2006.Jay Weinstein, author of The Ethical Gourmet, explains how everyday food choices affect farmers, animals, workers, the environment—and what ultimately ends up on the plate.Why This Episode MattersWhy inexpensive food may carry environmental and taxpayer-funded costs that are hidden from shoppersHow farm subsidies can favor industrial agriculture over smaller farmsWhy ethical production and better flavor often meet at the same farmPractical ways to buy more responsibly without attempting dietary sainthoodThe enduring value of local farms, CSAs, seasonal produce, and preserving food at its peakBanterMark and Francis begin with an important distinction: a cookout is not necessarily barbecue. From college pig roasts that finished around 2:00 a.m. to whole-hog dining in Manhattan, the conversation becomes a loving tribute to smoke, pork, poor planning, and the dangerous optimism of hungry men.The ConversationJay Weinstein joins the show to discuss The Ethical Gourmet and the confusion surrounding terms such as organic, natural, local, humane, and sustainable. He argues that diners do not need to solve every problem in the food system; even switching to products such as organic dairy and eggs can support better farming practices. The discussion examines the hidden costs of inexpensive food, including agricultural subsidies, petroleum-based fertilizers, industrial production, and the pressure placed on smaller farms. Jay, Mark, and Francis also explore whether ethically raised food necessarily tastes better, agreeing that the difference becomes especially clear with well-raised chicken, meat, eggs, and ripe seasonal produce. The conversation closes with local farms, CSAs, preserving tomatoes and fruit, and one essential summer commandment: do not refrigerate a good tomato.Timestamps0:00 Cookouts, real barbecue, and the hazards of roasting a whole pig7:25 Jay Weinstein and the idea behind The Ethical Gourmet10:25 One simple ethical food choice anyone can make16:35 Can ordinary families afford ethically produced food?19:00 The hidden costs of cheap food and agricultural subsidies24:00 Local farms, CSAs, seasonal produce, and preserving the harvest31:00 Why good tomatoes should never be refrigeratedBioJay Weinstein is a chef, journalist, and author of The Ethical Gourmet.

Recorded live before an audience at Sunken Harbor Club in Brooklyn.Why This Episode MattersGage & Tollner's revival is more than a preservation story. St. John Frizell and Garrett Richard show how historic restaurants and classic cocktails can be restored, reinterpreted, and made relevant. The ConversationThe live conversation opens with Mark admitting that it took him several meetings to realize writer St. John Frizell and bartender “Sinjin” Frizell were the same person. Francis recalls Garrett recognizing The Restaurant Guys at Tales of the Cocktail, back when being recognized in public was still a notable event.From there, St. John tells the improbable story of finding Gage & Tollner's landmarked interior beneath the remains of a TGI Fridays, an Arby's, and a makeshift mall. He explains how 450 crowdfunding investors helped revive the historic Brooklyn oyster and chophouse and how the restaurant was preparing to open when COVID closed New York.Garrett traces Sunken Harbor Club from a weekly pop-up to one of the country's most distinctive cocktail bars. He explores forgotten tropical formats, historic steakhouse drinks, the challenge of creating serious non-alcoholic cocktails, and the timelessness of the Martini. The conversation also reaches Charles H. Baker Jr., his amazing life and the idea that a great drink can be built as much on story and context as on the recipe itself.Timestamps00:00 Live from Sunken Harbor Club02:00 St. John, Sinjin and a James Bond pronunciation lesson04:00 Garrett's first encounter with The Restaurant Guys05:30 The opening cocktails and Sunken Harbor's menu philosophy08:30 Gage & Tollner prepares to open as COVID closes New York11:00 How the Sunken Harbor Club began as a weekly pop-up14:00 Finding Gage & Tollner behind false walls17:00 Raising $450,000 from 450 crowdfunding investors20:00 Reconstructing forgotten cocktails and the Cross Current25:30 Historic steakhouse drinks meet tropical cocktails30:30 Why serious non-alcoholic cocktails are so difficult42:00 Martinis, Charles H.

Steven Spielberg has release his latest movie, which is his most recent take on the idea that Aliens have visited Earth…Disclosure Day. Anytime Spielberg releases a movie, it's a big deal, but when it's a Sci-Fi film, you know that the Regulars Joes will have opinions. This week, to celebrate the release of Disclosure Day, Dave and Barry decided to do a rewatch of Spielbergs first "Alien" movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The guys share their thoughts on both movies, one brand new and one thats almost 50 years old…to see how Spielbergs movies have evolved and how Sci-Fi movies in general have evolved since 1977. There's also the usual Random Topics including discussion of the YouTube video featuring a look inside Spielberg archives, and a round of What's in the Box featuring an item signed by Spielbergs Best Friend for over 50 years.

This is a Vintage episode from 2005.The Restaurant Guys welcome Launny Steffens, co-founder of Vineyard 7 & 8 in Napa Valley's Spring Mountain District, for a conversation about mountain fruit, terroir, and the pursuit of a more food-friendly California Cabernet Sauvignon.Why This Episode MattersLaunny explains why he chose Spring Mountain for Vineyard 7 & 8 and why elevation, slope, fog, and sun exposure matter in Napa Cabernet.The conversation explores terroir in practical terms: how land, weather, soil, and farming choices show up in the glass.The Guys discuss the tension between powerful “cult Cabernet” styles and wines built with more restraint and food in mind.Launny shares the reality behind the romance of owning a winery: expensive land, long timelines, and the old joke about making a small fortune by starting with a large one.The episode captures Vineyard 7 & 8 early in its story, when it was still establishing its place among Napa's ambitious mountain wineries.BanterMark and Francis begin with cocktail calories and discover that a Long Island Iced Tea is practically a meal with a hangover attached. From piña coladas to watermelon martinis, they make the case for drinking better, drinking moderately, and avoiding anything that turns one cocktail into lunch.The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys welcome Launny Steffens of Vineyard 7 & 8, a Spring Mountain winery focused on Cabernet Sauvignon. Launny explains how he came to wine after a corporate career and why he believed Napa's mountain vineyards offered the best chance to produce something distinctive. He talks about choosing a 15-acre site with vines originally planted by David Abreu, studying the vineyard through extensive soil sampling, and improving the health of the vines over time.The conversation turns to the difference between mountain-grown and valley-floor fruit, with Launny describing how elevation, slope, and longer sunlight exposure influence the grapes. Mark and Francis press him on the risk of making a more restrained, food-friendly Cabernet at a time when bigger, higher-alcohol wines often attracted major scores. Launny says the goal was to make a traditional Cabernet that still reflected California's growing season, without letting power overwhelm flavor or the meal.After the interview, Mark and Francis reflect on California agriculture, local produce, and the appeal — and limits — of the slower West Coast life. The show then broadens into a conversation about sustainability, salmon, overfishing, short-term thinking, and why preserving food systems requires looking beyond the next market price.Timestamps0:00 Cocktail calories, moderation, and the Long Island Iced Tea problem8:30 Launny Steffens joins the show and introduces Vineyard 7 & 810:00 Why Spring Mountain and mountain-grown Cabernet matter14:00 Soil, farming, elevation, and building a healthier vineyard16:30 Restraint, food-friendly Cabernet, and pushing back against bigger-is-better wines21:00 California agriculture, local produce, salmon, and sustainabilityBioLaunny Steffens is the co-founder of Vineyard 7 & 8, a Napa Valley winery located in the Spring Mountain District.

Ray Isle returns to The Restaurant Guys nearly 20 years after his first appearance to consider where wine is headed and whether the industry has made something pleasurable unnecessarily difficult.Why This Episode MattersNatural wine and biodynamic farming overlap in philosophy, but differ sharply in practice.Fifty years after the Judgment of Paris, its impact still reaches far beyond one famous blind tasting.Wine is facing real headwinds, including rising prices, intimidating choice and a growing disconnect from younger drinkers.The future of wine may depend less on prestige and more on accessibility, personal connection and the thrill of finding a great bottle at a fair price.The BanterMark and Francis take aim at the advice that diners should never order the second-cheapest bottle on a wine list. They explain how restaurant pricing actually works and why that bottle may offer better value than conventional wisdom suggests.Their better advice: tell someone who knows wine what you like, what you are eating and what you want to spend and ask them for help.The ConversationRay Isle, Mark and Francis distinguish biodynamic farming from natural winemaking and examine the strengths, contradictions and occasional “woo-woo” surrounding both. Ray argues that natural wine has raised worthwhile questions about industrial production, even if some bottles cross the line from unconventional into simply flawed.They revisit the Judgment of Paris on its 50th anniversary and explore how it gave California wine credibility, encouraged investment in Napa Valley and pushed established French producers to improve.The conversation then turns to wine's current identity crisis. Prices are rising, restaurant pours can feel prohibitive and consumers face a paralyzing number of choices. Ray makes the case for removing pretension, finding knowledgeable people to trust and remembering that wine is ultimately meant to bring people together.They also discuss the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, pairing serious wine with burgers and why discovering an exceptional $20 bottle can still be more exciting than opening one that costs $400.Timestamps01:00 – The second-cheapest bottle myth05:20 – Ray Isle discusses Biodynamic and natural wine20:20 – The Judgment of Paris at 5031:00 – Wine prices, choice and younger drinkers40:00 – The Food & Wine Classic in Aspen45:00 – Value wines and Sancerre alternatives51:00 – Learning wine through producers and regionsBioRay Isle is the executive wine editor of Food & Wine and one of America's leading wine writers.

Michael Mejer's definitive shift into cannabis PR was sparked by a moment of absolute clarity. He witnessed an elderly man, wracked by severe tremors, find instant relief through a cannabis tincture, a profound transformation that happened in seconds. That powerful experience became the catalyst for his entire career, prompting him to walk away from a traditional PR and book-publishing trajectory. Driven by a newfound obsession to understand the industry, Mejer plunged headfirst into the fast-paced landscape, navigating the chaotic energy of major conferences like MJBizCon. He invested countless hours networking and decoding the complex, unpredictable machinery of the cannabis trade from the ground up. Today, through Green Lane Communication, Michael specializes in earned media for cannabis brands, successfully placing clients in mainstream outlets like Forbes, High Times, and Rolling Stone. His approach goes beyond cannabis-specific media by positioning clients as expert voices on broader wellness and science topics. He co-hosts Tech Jam, an annual networking event with Sorting Robotics, bringing together innovative companies like Roll Pros and Emerald Intel. Tune in to discover Michael's practical advice on visual assets, thought leadership strategies, and why reverse-engineering your messaging around specific business goals matters more than chasing media appearances for their own sake.

This is a Vintage episode from 2005.The Restaurant Guys welcome chef-owner Liza Queen of Queen's Hideaway, a tiny Greenpoint restaurant where the menu changed with the market, the farmers, the smoker, and whatever was left in the kitchen by the end of the week.Why This Episode MattersLiza Queen explains how Queen's Hideaway built its menu around farmers, Greenmarket shopping, small quantities of meat, and improvisation.The episode captures a very specific moment in Brooklyn dining, before “market-driven neighborhood restaurant” became a polished concept.Liza talks honestly about the chaos of running a small restaurant: tiny kitchen, no air conditioning, long hours, broken equipment, landlord issues, and sudden press attention.The Guys connect Queen's Hideaway to a larger idea: great food does not need pretense, luxury, or a white-tablecloth.The conversation is a snapshot of a restaurant that became a cult favorite by cooking personally, affordably, and very much in the moment.BanterMark and Francis begin with a conversation about fine dining, New Jersey, and the complicated blessing of being so close to New York. They talk about what separates true hospitality from restaurant theater: a warm welcome, good service, and the feeling that the experience is being created for the guest.The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys welcome Liza Queen, chef-owner of Queen's Hideaway in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Liza explains that the restaurant does not really have a set menu because the cooking depends on what she can get from farmers, what meats are available, and what shows up at the Greenmarket. What sounds like a concept is, in her telling, mostly survival: if the restaurant runs out of one thing, she cooks the next best thing.Liza talks about moving back east after cooking in Portland, where she felt limited by diners who were less adventurous than she wanted to be. In Brooklyn, she opened what she imagined as a neighborhood place, only to find people coming from Manhattan, upstate, and even New Jersey after early press and word of mouth spread. The restaurant is tiny, informal, and very personal, with a front-of-house and kitchen team made up largely of friends she describes as imported family.The conversation moves through smoked meats, Wonderbread, broken ice cream makers, root vegetables, and the daily anxiety of building a menu from what the market provides. Liza is funny, humble, and matter-of-fact about the work: 8 a.m. to after midnight, six days a week, in a small kitchen with a very big personality.After the interview, Mark and Francis reflect on why Queen's Hideaway resonated. For them, the point is not trendiness or thrift alone; it is food cooked thoughtfully, with excellent ingredients, without snobbery. The episode becomes a defense of the finer things in life at every price point, from a serious restaurant meal to a great hot dog, a real waffle with ice cream, or a neighborhood place that simply cooks what it has and does it well.Timestamps0:00 Fine dining, New Jersey, and what makes hospitality feel gracious6:15  Liza Queen joins the show and explains the no-set-menu approach8:00 Liza's experience and desire to open a place on the East Coast15:00 Smoking meat, winter cooking, Wonderbread, pies, and the tiny kitchen reality21:30 Why great food does not have to be expensive or pretentious29:00 Why great food does not have to be expensive or pretentiousBioLiza Queen was the chef-owner of Queen's Hideaway in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, a small, market-driven restaurant known for its changing menu, smoked meats, pies, and fiercely personal cooking.

Hospitality consultant Preston Lee explains how restaurants can build stronger teams, earn employee trust and create the kind of human connection that keeps guests coming back.Why This Episode MattersWhy hospitality begins with genuine care, not a memorized scriptWhat younger employees need from restaurant leaders todayHow daily training creates consistency without overwhelming the staffWhy the employee experience directly shapes the guest experienceHow AI may make real human hospitality even more valuableBanterMark and Francis take aim at New York City's new anti-alcohol campaign and its failure to acknowledge the social and cultural role of restaurants and bars. Francis proposes a protest involving drinks, campaign posters and social media…until Mark's old college beer funnel makes an appearance and immediately weakens the case.The ConversationPreston Lee joins Mark and Francis to discuss why hospitality is ultimately a structured form of kindness and care. He explains how restaurants can motivate younger employees by providing purpose, clarity and consistent expectations rather than assuming earnings alone will create commitment. The conversation explores hands-on training, daily pre-shifts and Preston's “drip training” approach, which introduces meaningful changes gradually and reinforces them through accountability. They also discuss creating hospitality between employees, recognizing when someone is not right for the organization and developing managers rather than simply promoting them. Finally, Preston considers how AI may support restaurant training while making authentic human interaction an increasingly valuable luxury.Timestamps0:00 New York City's anti-alcohol campaign6:35 Hospitality as kindness, care and purpose17:00 What Gen Z needs from restaurant leaders25:00 Drip training, accountability and earning trust30:30 Building hospitality within the restaurant team43:30 The 30% Rule, AI and the future of human connectionBioPreston Lee is a hospitality consultant, founder of The 30% Rule and author of The Hospitality Handbook: How Unconditional Hospitality Transforms Teams, Customers, and Companies.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a coping pattern that is far more common in first responder culture than anyone likes to admit: reaching for alcohol (Amazon Affiliate #AD) at the end of a shift not as an occasional choice but as the primary — and sometimes only — way to come down from the weight of the job. This episode is not about judgment. It is not about labeling anyone an alcoholic or telling first responders what they should or should not do. It is about an honest conversation regarding what happens when a culturally normalized coping tool quietly becomes the thing a person cannot decompress without — and what that pattern costs over time in health, relationships, career, and emotional wellbeing.

Modern dating is getting CRAZY… In this episode, men call out women's behavior in clubs, bisexual trends, and double standards—and it turns into a HEATED debate you don't want to miss.From nightlife culture to relationships, this conversation exposes uncomfortable truths about dating, accountability, and attraction in 2026.

It is said that we don't "lose" a loved one who passes if we know EXACTLY where they are.  My guest today knows where his precious sister is...and he's trying to honor her with his foundation named after her.  You'll be blessed by hearing Mitch Marczewski's interview.Reach Out to Me:Website: www.dontignorethenudge.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/dontignorethenudgeIG: @dontignorethenudgepodcastPrivate FB group to WATCH interviews: www.dontignorethenudge.com/facebook__________________________________________________________________________________________Business/Personal Coaching with Cori:www.corifreeman.com(951) 923-2674Reach out to  Mitch Marczewski:Website: https://www.nightbirdefoundation.org/

This is a Vintage episode from 2005.William Walker of Jersey Fresh joins Mark Pascal and Francis Schott for a conversation about New Jersey agriculture, local produce, farmers markets, and why fresh food tastes different when it does not have to travel halfway across the country.Why This Episode MattersJersey Fresh is more than a label. It is a long-running New Jersey Department of Agriculture program built to connect farmers, supermarkets, restaurants, and consumers.William explains why “local” is not just feel-good marketing. Produce picked closer to ripeness often has better flavor, better texture, and a much shorter trip to the plate.The conversation gets into the real economics of small farms: if New Jersey farmers cannot win on volume, they can win on quality.Farmers markets, U-pick farms, and seasonal forecasts all become tools for helping families and restaurants eat better while keeping farmers on the land.Mark and Francis make a strong case for treating Jersey tomatoes, strawberries, peaches, and farm stands like the seasonal treasures they are.BanterMark and Francis cover stolen car seats in Jersey City, motorcycles with laptops in the saddlebags, and a glowing local newspaper article that names Francis “the mean one” and Mark “the rock.” The real question: after 70 hours a week together, who wouldn't be?The ConversationWilliam Walker explains how Jersey Fresh grew from a supermarket promotion into a broader effort to connect New Jersey farmers with restaurants, markets, and home cooks. The conversation covers farmers markets, U-pick farms, strawberries, tomatoes, peaches, and the simple reason local produce tastes better: it can be picked closer to ripe.Mark and Francis also dig into the real challenge behind “buy local”: preserving farmland only matters if farmers can still make a living. Along the way, William offers practical advice on storing produce, including the all-important rule that tomatoes do not belong in the refrigerator.Timestamps0:00 – Jersey City car seats, motorcycle regret, and a local article about The Restaurant Guys6:45 – Why local ingredients changed fine dining8:30 – William Walker joins to explain Jersey Fresh10:00 – Farmers markets, U-pick farms, and connecting people to local agriculture15:00 – Why local strawberries, tomatoes, and peaches taste different25:45 – Why tomatoes do not belong in the refrigeratorGuest BioWilliam Walker was part of Jersey Fresh, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture program promoting New Jersey-grown fruits, vegetables, and farm products.

The Ghost of Jerry Thomas Has Notes | AI, Dale DeGroff & the Future of Cocktails Mark and Francis attempt the impossible: an interview with Jerry Thomas, the 19th-century bartending legend who helped write the book on American cocktails. With help from AI and a performance by cocktail icon Dale DeGroff, Jerry returns to judge the modern bar, defend showmanship, and remind bartenders that the guest still comes first.Why This Episode MattersJerry Thomas is one of the founding figures of American cocktail culture, and his influence still runs through modern bars.This episode uses AI as a creative tool, not a shortcut, pairing the technology with Dale DeGroff's voice and deep cocktail authority.“Jerry” has strong opinions about today's bar world: better ice, better vermouth, more care, but also too much ego, smoke, and overcomplication.The conversation lands on a timeless hospitality truth: a great drink is not just what's in the glass; it's how the guest feels.It is strange, funny, historically rooted, and exactly the kind of thing that could only happen on The Restaurant Guys.The ConversationJerry Thomas, imagined through AI and voiced by Dale DeGroff, returns from the great beyond to take a look at the modern cocktail world. He is pleased to see bartenders caring again about ice, vermouth, technique, and classic recipes. He is less impressed by drinks built for cameras, fog machines, and bartender ego. His verdict is sharp: effort is not the same as excellence.The conversation moves through showmanship, simplicity, cocktail books, bottled cocktails, with Jerry drawing a clear line between theater that serves the guest and performance that gets in the way. For all the novelty of the premise, the message is pure hospitality. It's not just about the drink, but about how someone feels at your bar. Timestamps0:00 The Restaurant Guys bring Jerry Thomas back from the great beyond2:15 Ego, excess, and why “arrogance is not flavor”3:30 Showmanship, simplicity, and drinks made for the camera5:00 Bottled cocktails, zero-proof drinks and Jerry's final word on hospitalityFeatured GuestJerry Thomas was one of the most influential figures in American bartending, remembered for his theatrical presence behind the bar and his landmark cocktail books.

This is a Vintage episode from 2006.Julie Powell joins Mark Pascal and Francis Schott to talk about Julie & Julia, her year cooking 524 Julia Child recipes, and how a personal blog became a book before food blogging was a career path.Why This Episode MattersJulie Powell captured an early moment in food blogging, before the form became mainstream.The interview took place before Julie & Julia became a movie, so the conversation is rooted in the original book and blog.Julie explains why Julia Child's ambition, late start, and seriousness about cooking spoke to her.Mark and Francis challenge Julie on her controversial New York Times op-ed about greenmarkets, organic food, and privilege.The episode connects cooking to reinvention, marriage, class, and the messy business of trying to change your life.The ConversationJulie Powell explains that the project began as a response to turning 30 and feeling stuck in her job and life. Mark and Francis connect immediately with the vivid, slightly dangerous pleasure in her food writing, especially her description of beef marrow as rich, intense, and “like eating life.” Julia Child appealed to Julie not because the recipes were easy, but because they were hard and worth doing. She also found inspiration in Julia's own late start, since Child did not become “Julia Child” until well into adulthood.The blog began in 2002 at her husband's suggestion, when Julie says she barely knew what a blog was. What started as a personal challenge became a memoir about cooking, ambition, marriage, and reinvention. Julie is clear that Julie & Julia is not a cookbook; food is the route into a larger story about choosing something difficult and committing to it.The conversation also digs into Julie's New York Times op-ed on greenmarkets and organic food. Mark and Francis disagree with parts of her argument, but Julie explains that her real concern was judgment toward people who lack the money, time, or access to buy ideal ingredients. The debate lands on a shared point: good food should not be a privilege reserved for people who can afford it.Timestamps0:50 - Introducing Julie Powell and Julie & Julia2:30 - Why she cooked 524 Julia Child recipes in one year5:00 - Cooking after work, late dinners, and expensive ingredients6:45 - From personal blog to published book9:30 - he greenmarket debate and food privilege16:00 - Marriage, chaos, and life after the project18:00 - Mark and Francis reflect on Julie, Julia Child, and the op-ed debate BioJulie Powell was the author of Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously, based on her blog about cooking every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

This is a Vintage episode from 2006George Motz joins The Restaurant Guys to talk about Hamburger America, his documentary celebrating eight beloved burger institutions and the regional traditions, family pride, old grease, beef, and stubborn conviction that make them more than just places to eat. Why This Episode MattersBefore smashburgers became trendy and before Hamburger America became a restaurant, George Motz was documenting regional burger culture across the United StatesThis episode captures an early moment in America's burger renaissance, when great roadside burger stands still felt local, handmade, and deeply tied to placeGeorge explains why the hamburger is both a food story and an American storyThe conversation explores butter burgers, steamed cheeseburgers, old grease, grass-fed beef, and the fierce convictions of great burger makersThe Guys debate what makes a real hamburger…and why foie gras burgers might actually be meatloafThe BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott discuss New York City's crackdown on sous vide cooking and debate whether the health department should regulate emerging cooking techniques before banning them outright. On advice of imaginary counsel, Mark will not be offering any home sous vide instructions. The ConversationGeorge Motz joins The Restaurant Guys to discuss his documentary Hamburger America, a film exploring eight legendary burger restaurants across the United States.What begins as a conversation about hamburgers quickly becomes a broader discussion about regional identity, family businesses, roadside Americana, and the passionate people preserving classic burger traditions. George explains the strict criteria he used to select restaurants for the film, including fresh beef, decades of continuous operation, and a story worth telling. Along the way, the conversation moves through Oklahoma longhorn burgers, Wisconsin butter burgers, steamed cheeseburgers, the legendary grease at Dyer's in Memphis, Louis' Lunch in New Haven, which claims to have invented the hamburger sandwich, and Chicago's Billy Goat Tavern, where burger lore became part of American pop culture. More than a discussion about hamburgers, the episode becomes a celebration of old-school American food culture and the fiercely independent restaurants that helped define it.BioGeorge Motz is a filmmaker, burger historian, author, and television personality best known for his documentary Hamburger America. He later became one of the country's leading authorities on regional American hamburgers and opened the restaurant Hamburger America in New York City.InfoHamburger America documentaryGeorge Motz https://www.hamburgeramerica.com/On Friday, May 22 we'll be celebrating our 34th Anniversary with a 34 Bottle Walk Around Tasting.

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.

We are currently in a new series as a church called "Reach Out". Reaching out to people is something we can really overcomplicate. When in reality, it starts as simple as having a conversation, asking people how they were doing, and simply beginning to look beyond ourselves. In this episode, Pastor Ben Dixon and Keri Welch discuss being active about sharing our faith, God moving through simple conversations, and getting out of our own bubble to partner with Jesus and His mission to reach others.

This is a Vintage episode from 2006Why This Episode MattersLong before craft beer became mainstream, Garrett Oliver was arguing that beer belonged at the fine dining tableThis 2006 conversation captures the early days of American craft brewing before the explosion of brewery culture and IPA dominanceGarrett explains why beer may pair with food better than wine — then challenges Francis to prove him wrongThe episode explores brewing philosophy, Belgian traditions, and the business pressures of growthIncludes a fascinating snapshot of how small Brooklyn Brewery still was in 2006 — despite already becoming influentialThe BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott discuss Frank Bruni's four-star review of Jean-Georges in The New York Times and what happens when great chefs expand into restaurant empires. The conversation explores restaurant identity, and whether excellence can survive scale.The ConversationGarrett Oliver, brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery and author of The Brewmaster's Table, joins The Restaurant Guys for a spirited conversation about the early days of American craft beer, brewing philosophy, beer aging, Belgian traditions, and pairing beer with food. Things get competitive when Oliver argues beer pairs better with food than wine — prompting Francis to challenge him to a live beer-versus-wine showdown at Stage Left. BioGarrett Oliver is the brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery and one of the most influential figures in American craft beer. He is the author of The Brewmaster's Table: Discovering the Pleasures of Real Beer with Real Food and editor of The Oxford Companion to Beer.

This week, the Regular Joe's take a look at two Disney+ series about men in red and black. Or one guy who wears red and black, and another who is red and black. Maul Shadow Lord, we're not supposed to call him Darth Maul anymore, gives further dimension to a Star Wars character most thought was out of the picture 27 years ago. Who knew getting bisected isn't necessarily fatal. Shadow Lord is an animated series that is clearly not for kids, but it's also clearly awesome. Daredevil Born Again's sophomore season more than corrected the numerous shortcomings of the first. It's been extremely well received by critics and fans alike, giving viewers a whole lot more of what they were looking for - unless like Barry and Dave you're looking for something a little different. There's also a rare What's on my Workbench update, and the usual random topics. Thanks for watching, and listening!

Episode 265- Euro Games "Euro" has been used as a descriptor for decades and it is inarguable that its meaning has changed over time.  On this episode, the hosts try to hash out what the word means today and how that differs from the "old school" design philosophy.  Also, the episode ends with an unhinged exploration of what games in the BGG top 100 could conceivably be classified as Euros.   (also just a warning, Pete's dog wouldn't shut up during the recording of this)   Timestamps 3:00- defining Euros 12:45- modern vs old school 55:00- categorizing the BGG top 100   Preplanners Next week we are doing a deep dive on Bus!   Music and Sound Credits Thank you to Hembree for our intro and outro music from their song Reach Out.

Build Three Distinct Support Communities Before You Need Them Angel's framework for navigating crisis — professional or personal — is built on three tiers: the emotional inner circle (family, closest friends, real-time updates), the logistics home team (practical help, appointments, WhatsApp coordination), and the extended internet community (prayers, encouragement, distant support). Knowing who belongs in each circle saves energy and deepens each relationship. 2. Learning to Receive Is as Important as Learning to Give When you're in crisis, people want to help — sometimes financially, sometimes practically, sometimes emotionally. Angel's experience is that the resistance to accepting generosity is real and deeply wired. Working through that resistance isn't weakness; it's a survival skill. 3. Deep Empathy for Yourself Comes Before Your Resume The most common job search mistake: starting with the resume. Angel's framework starts with a more foundational question — who are you right now, in this exact moment of your life? Your family situation, your financial runway, your emotional state, your real needs. You cannot build a purposeful job search without that honest baseline. 4. Purpose Is Not the Same as Empathy — But You Can't Get There Without It Deep empathy gives you the foundation. Purpose builds on it — it's your current state, your trajectory, your story. It's the answer to "tell me about yourself" that is honest, specific, and actually compelling. Most people skip empathy and land on a purpose that doesn't feel real — because it isn't. 5. Your Old Resume Is Actively Working Against You The resume you built for the Obama administration — or even five years ago — is not your resume today. Angel's advice: start from scratch with a modern platform that parses your actual capabilities, competencies, and skills. Don't update the old document; replace it entirely. 6. LinkedIn Is a Brand, Not a Job Board Most people treat LinkedIn as a passive repository. Angel treats it as a living brand. The formula: 24 words for role, 36 words for quantified impact, a current professional photo, a Canva-designed header, and active storytelling. Dormant profiles don't get found. Active brands do. 7. The Career Prayer Is the Most Powerful Networking Tool Available A LinkedIn post that blends personal humanity (here's where I am in my life right now), professional context (here's what I built and who I built it with), and authentic future direction (here's what I'm looking for) activates dormant networks faster than any cold outreach campaign. If it reads like AI wrote it, it won't work. If it reads like you, it will. 8. Use AI to Identify Who to Reach Out to First Download your full LinkedIn contact list. Feed it into AI along with your resume, LinkedIn profile, and clarity on what you're looking for. Ask it to identify the 20 most relevant people to reach out to — and why. This turns a vague networking intention into a targeted, prioritized outreach list in minutes. 9. The 1-4/14: Plan for 14 Months and 14 Years Simultaneously Angel's framework for living with a terminal diagnosis is a masterclass in holding two truths at once: get your affairs in order (14 months — directives, will, trustees) and commit to building a life and a legacy (14 years — purpose, impact, the people you're fighting for). Both are necessary. Neither cancels the other out. 10. Showing Up Is Its Own Act of Leadership Angel came to Transform 2026 with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, a 2-3% five-year survival median, and more energy and generosity than almost anyone else in the building. His presence — and his willingness to share his journey publicly — is itself a form of re-inspiration for anyone going through their own version of impossible. CHAPTERS:  00:00 – Day 3 Opens With Angel Adam opens his first interview of day three with Angel Cruzado — a LinkedIn connection turned in-person meeting — and the conversation immediately goes somewhere real. 02:00 – Living With Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer Angel shares where he is on his cancer journey, what it's like to navigate a conference when you're fighting for your life, and why he showed up anyway. 04:30 – Building Your Community for the Hard Times How a cancer diagnosis forced Angel to build three distinct support communities: the emotional inner circle, the logistics home team, and the extended internet family. 08:00 – Learning to Accept Generosity One of the most vulnerable moments in the series: Angel talks about the resistance to receiving support — financial and otherwise — and how he learned to accept it as part of surviving. 10:30 – Meet Respiros: Career Transitions with Heart Angel introduces his company — an outplacement and career transition services firm that CHROs hire to re-inspire employees through layoffs, treating them as individuals rather than headcount. 13:00 – The Job Market Right Now: Real Talk An honest assessment of the current talent market: companies have their pick, not everyone is an A player, and struggling candidates need something more than a refreshed resume. 15:30 – Step 1: Deep Empathy for Yourself Before you touch your resume, understand where you truly are as a human being. Your baseline context shapes everything that follows. 18:00 – Step 2: Purpose — Who You Are and Where You're Going The second layer: purpose. Not the same as empathy. It's your current state, your trajectory, and the story that actually means something when someone asks "tell me about yourself." 20:30 – Step 3: Build the Right Resume From Scratch Why your 8-year-old resume is working against you and the case for starting completely fresh with a modern platform. 23:00 – Step 4: LinkedIn as a Living Brand How most people are using LinkedIn wrong — and the precise framework Angel uses: 24 words for role, 36 words for quantified impact. 26:00 – The Career Prayer: Storytelling That Activates Dormant Networks Angel's most memorable concept: a LinkedIn post format that blends personal authenticity, professional context, and genuine humanity — and why it generates real job leads in ways job applications never do. 30:00 – The AI Hack for Network Activation Download your full LinkedIn contacts, feed them into AI with your resume and profile, and ask it to identify the 20 people you should reach out to first — and why. 33:00 – How to Reach Out After Years of Silence The right way to re-engage a dormant contact: not a cold ask, but a genuine, story-led post that gives people a reason to respond on their own terms. 36:00 – The 1-4/14: His Framework for Living Plan for 14 months — medical directives, will, trustees — and simultaneously plan to live for 14 years. Both are necessary. Both are acts of hope. 39:00 – His North Star: His 11-Year-Old's High School Graduation The moment that grounds everything: Angel's goal of making it to his son's graduation when the median 5-year survival rate for Stage 4 pancreatic cancer is 2-3%. 41:00 – Re-Inspiring Others Through His Own Transition Angel closes with the mission: if people who are struggling and hurting can see him still showing up, still building, maybe that re-inspires them to do the same.

This is a Vintage episode from 2007.Why This Episode MattersBefore celebrity chefs became mainstream brands, chefs like Morou Ouattara and Gavin Kaysen were navigating what television exposure actually meant for serious working chefs.Morou Ouattara discusses bringing West African flavors into contemporary American cuisine years before global pantry ingredients became common.Gavin Kaysen reflects on competing as a young chef on The Next Iron Chef and how it shaped his career.The conversation becomes an unexpectedly thoughtful discussion about  chef identity, and the reality behind “celebrity chef” culture.The BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott open the show discussing the absurdity and honesty of chef awards and Anthony Bourdain's irreverent influence on food culture. They explore the economics of Michelin-starred restaurants and why greatness may not be worth it.The ConversationsChef Morou Ouattara joins The Restaurant Guys to discuss appearing on The Next Iron Chef while already running a respected restaurant. He explains why competing against accomplished chefs felt entirely different from traditional reality television, and why staying true to his culinary identity mattered more than trying to satisfy judges. Morou also shares how his restaurant, Farrah Olivia, blended American cuisine with West African spices and flavors that television competition formats often couldn't properly showcase.Later, Gavin Kaysen discusses competing as one of the youngest chefs on the show, the camaraderie among contestants, and the strange reality of being edited for national television. The conversation expands into restaurant culture, chef professionalism, and Kaysen's then-upcoming move to New York to lead Café Boulud.Timestamps00:00 — The Golden Clog Awards, Anthony Bourdain, and Michelin-star economics06:45 — Morou Ouattara joins; competing on The Next Iron Chef10:00 — Reality Cooking Shows vs. Kitchen Life11:45 — Incorporating West African spices at Farrah Olivia15:45 — Gavin Kaysen joins; Camaraderie behind the scenes of The Next Iron Chef24:00 — Reality TV editing and food television culture27:00 — San Diego's evolving restaurant scene30:30 — Gavin Kaysen's move to Café Boulud in New YorkBioMorou Ouattara is an Ivory Coast-born chef known for blending West African flavors with contemporary American cuisine at Farrah Olivia in Alexandria, Virginia.

At a time when we are dealing with a well-documented crisis of loneliness and isolation, Rob works each day to manifest the Foundation's mission to combat this crisis through original ideas, partnerships and grassroots community outreach nationwide. About The #HT40 Foundation and Shoulder Check: The HT40 Foundation is a 501c3 charitable organization working to encourage young people to simply be there for their peers through action-oriented initiatives that foster social connection. The Foundation's mission is to create and promote small actions that have a big impact. Their first initiative launched in August of 2023 is The Shoulder Check, a program that's Making Kindness a Contact Sport. Tens of thousands of young athletes across the country, with the support of professional athletes, have made the pledge to Reach Out, Check In, and Make Contact with one another, proving checking in can be as simple as a hand on a shoulder.

This podcast is with Bryce Pick & Cabe Johnson from Spot Hogg Archery.  We talk about the history of Spot Hogg and new innovations they have for 2026 including the introduction to the new PRIZ lens that can get you up to 30 yards more distance! For 2026 they debuted a new scope housing on some model sights called the ROTI. That stands for Reach Out & Touch It! The new housing allows for interchangeable pins from single to double and gives you the option to change the angle for a single pin. Most importantly the new ROTI also allows the use of the PRIZ distance lens and magnifying lenses as well. This is a great podcast deepening your knowledge on sights and a company who redefined durability in archery sights.
