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

This is a Vintage episode from 2006.Why This Episode MattersHow America's cocktail golden age flourished from the Gilded Age through Prohibition and how it eventually gave way to highballs and vodka.Why pre-Prohibition whiskey was stronger, more aromatic and dramatically different from much of what followed.How cocktail historians reconstruct forgotten drinks using antique bar guides, vintage bottles and nearly vanished ingredients.Why Ted Haigh believes cocktails should engage an adult palate rather than conceal alcohol beneath sweetness.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott explore the emerging trend of beer cocktails, from shandies and Black Velvets to some considerably more questionable corporate creations.The ConversationCocktail historian Ted Haigh, better known as Dr. Cocktail, traces the rise, decline and early revival of the American cocktail. He explains how elaborate Gilded Age drinks survived Prohibition, only to be displaced by blended whiskey, highballs and increasingly neutral spirits.Ted shares how he uncovers forgotten recipes in antique books and newspapers, then searches for the obscure bottles needed to recreate them. The conversation moves from bonded whiskey and Amer Picon to drinks that deserved to disappear, vodka's reliance on marketing and the disputed 200th anniversary of the cocktail.Guest BioTed Haigh, widely known as Dr. Cocktail, is a cocktail historian, author and award-winning graphic designer. His research, writing and extensive collection of historic bar books, bottles and artifacts helped introduce a new generation to overlooked drinks from the pre-Prohibition and Prohibition eras.

Hayman's Gin: Tradition and Revival | James Hayman

This was recorded on-location at Bar Convent Brooklyn 2026Why This Episode MattersHow five generations of the Hayman family helped shape London gin and why James Hayman sees himself as a guardian rather than an owner.Why Old Tom gin is not simply London Dry with extra sugar, and how its robust botanical profile changes classic cocktails.How authentic sloe gin is made with wild blackthorn fruit, months of infusion and considerably more patience than its neon-red reputation suggests.Why rising costs may tempt spirits companies to compromise and why James believes tradition and quality are the family business's best protection.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott reflect on Bar Convent Brooklyn and Tales of the Cocktail as places where bartenders, producers and increasingly knowledgeable consumers come together to exchange ideas, discover new spirits and renew old friendships. They also observe that cocktail culture has spread far beyond major cities and debate whether anyone attending an afternoon spirits convention is realistically going to work afterwardThe ConversationRecorded at Bar Convent Brooklyn, Mark and Francis sit down with fifth-generation gin distiller James Hayman to explore more than 160 years of family history of Hayman's Gin.James recalls growing up around the family distillery, where the aromas of botanicals made an early impression and visits to bottle shops became part of family vacations. He explains the responsibility of protecting recipes and methods developed generations earlier while still allowing the business to evolve.The conversation traces gin's transformation from the rough, inconsistent spirit of eighteenth-century London to the more refined styles that emerged during the nineteenth century. James explains the origins of Old Tom gin, why Hayman's helped revive it for modern bartenders.They then turn to sloe gin: wild blackthorn berries, high-proof gin, several months of extraction and the British tradition of carrying a flask to cold-weather sporting events. Francis contrasts real sloe gin with the syrupy versions that once appeared in drinks such as the Red Death and makes the case for restoring the good stuff to the modern cocktail bar.James also discusses Navy Strength gin, the wonderfully questionable gunpowder story behind its proof and the family's determination to keep making gin in London without cheapening its process. The episode closes with a frozen Martinez so good that Mark and Francis briefly consider the practical limitations of employing a frozen bartender.Guest BioJames Hayman is a fifth-generation gin distiller and co-owner of Hayman's Gin, which he runs with his sister, Miranda Hayman, and their father, Christopher. The family has distilled gin since 1863 and continues to produce its London Dry, Old Tom, Sloe and Royal Dock gins using longstanding family recipes and methods.

The First Great American Hospitality Empire | Stephen Fried

This is a Vintage episode from 2010.This show was recorded in 2010 and discusses a high fructose corn syrup study in rats. The current human evidence does not support the Princeton rat-study implication that high fructose corn syrup is uniquely more fattening than sucrose, but excess added sugar in our food supply, as well as obesity, are still of concern today. Why This Episode MattersFred Harvey built one of America's first national hospitality systems, proving that restaurants could scale without abandoning quality, standards, or service.The Harvey organization changed railroad dining from a punchline into a disciplined operation built on fresh ingredients, trained staff, speed, and consistency.Stephen Fried's story connects restaurants to railroads, tourism, the Grand Canyon, Native American art markets, and the development of the American West.Mark Pascal and Francis Schott draw clear connections between Harvey's 19th-century service systems and the invisible cues still used in fine dining today.BanterMark and Francis begin with a discussion of a then-new Princeton study on high fructose corn syrup and weight gain. Francis uses the study to talk about how new food ingredients enter the American marketplace, while Mark argues that the rise of high fructose corn syrup seems difficult to separate from broader changes in the American diet and health.The ConversationStephen Fried joins The Restaurant Guys to discuss Appetite for America, his book about Fred Harvey and the railroad hospitality empire that helped shape dining in the American West. After years of eating terrible food while working around the railroads, Harvey began building trackside restaurants along the Santa Fe Railway. What started as a practical solution for hungry passengers became a national hospitality organization built on fresh ingredients, systems, and service.Stephen explains how Harvey's restaurants served high-quality meals during short train stops, using railroad logistics and refrigerator cars to bring fresh fish, steaks, imported ingredients, and regional specialties to places where good dining was rare.The conversation also explores the Harvey Girls, the trained female workforce that became central to the company's identity and service model. Their precision, speed, and hospitality helped define the Fred Harvey standard.Stephen also discusses the company's role in building American tourism, especially at the Grand Canyon and throughout the Southwest, and addresses its complex relationship with Native American art and culture. After the interview, Mark and Francis reflect on the “magic” of restaurant service: the invisible signals, staff communication, and hospitality systems that make guests feel known without exposing the machinery behind the experience.Guest BioStephen Fried is an award-winning investigative journalist, essayist, author, and adjunct professor at Columbia University. His book Appetite for America tells the story of Fred Harvey, the entrepreneur whose restaurants, hotels, dining rooms, retail operations, and tourism ventures helped define American hospitality along the Santa Fe Railway and across the West.Timestamps00:00 Mark and Francis discuss a Princeton study on high fructose corn syrup.08:00 Stephen Fried joins the show to talk about Appetite for America and Fred Harvey's railroad hospitality empire.13:00 Fresh ingredients, regional cooking, refrigerator cars, and the surprising sophistication of Harvey's menus.17:00 How the company expanded into hotels, retail, dining cars, the Grand Canyon, and American tourism.21:00 Fred Harvey's relationship with Native American art, commerce, and Southwestern tourism.25:00 The hidden difficulty of running hospitality businesses and the systems Harvey used to maintain standards.33:00 The Harvey Girls, women in hospitality, 37:00 The “cup code,” table signals, fresh coffee, fast service, and the invisible systems behind great hospitality.46:00 Why the Harvey empire failed to become the next Howard Johnson or Hilton.50:00 Mark and Francis reflect on restaurant tells, hospitality magic, and America's contribution to restaurant service.InfoStephen's bookAppetite for America: How Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Built a Railroad Hospitality Empire That Civilized the Wild West Princeton HFCS study & articlehttps://www.princeton.edu/news/2010/03/22/sweet-problem-princeton-researchers-find-high-fructose-corn-syrup-promptshttps://paw.princeton.edu/article/study-high-fructose-corn-syrup-stirs-criticsOprah suedhttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/why-us-beef-industry-once-213000339.htmlIf you want a chance to get two tickets to our Bourbon, Beer & Beefsteak and live recording with Sother Teague and Jack McGarry in New Orleans on July 21, 2026,sign up to be a Restaurant Guys Regular (our paid subscribers) here https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/ Then email TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com.

Why This Episode MattersWhy true luxury is more about attention than flashHow historic hotels stay relevant without losing their sense of placeWhat leaders can do to build trust before asking employees to performWhy excellent service depends on communication and recovery, not perfectionBanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott begin their Aspen Food & Wine Classic adventure at Hotel Jerome, where they found what they considered the best cocktail bar in Aspen: Bad Harriet. The clue that someone was paying attention? A bottle of Hans Reisetbauer Carrot Eau de Vie on the back bar, which is not exactly the sort of thing that wanders in by accident.The ConversationStephane Lacroix joins Mark and Francis at Hotel Jerome in Aspen to talk about leadership, luxury and the daily work of making guests feel deeply cared for. He traces his path from French hospitality and sommelier training to roles at some of the world's most celebrated hotels and restaurants, including Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the Ritz Paris, the Watergate Hotel, Hotel Bel-Air and Baccarat Hotel New York.The conversation centers on Hotel Jerome, a historic Aspen property that Stephane describes as having real soul. Rather than reinventing the hotel, his work is to protect its character, connect with the community and keep the guest experience current without making it feel generic.Mark shares a story from Julie's childhood visit to Hotel Jerome, when a young guest who wanted McDonald's was served exactly that under a cloche. For Mark and Francis, it becomes a perfect example of hospitality: making someone feel like the most important person in the room.Stephane also discusses training, trust, service recovery and why great hospitality cannot be scripted. The team is expected to communicate mistakes, recover quickly and quietly watch over guests without overwhelming them. By the end, he defines modern luxury as “quiet luxury”: knowing who your guests are, being there when they need you and letting them be when they do not.Timestamps0:00 Mark and Francis introduce Hotel Jerome and Bad Harriet3:30 Stephane Lacroix joins from Aspen4:40 From French hospitality school to Ducasse, the Ritz and the Watergate9:30 Why hospitality people should only text from the car12:15 The McDonald's-under-a-cloche story15:00 Hotel Jerome's history, soul and sense of place18:30 Resetting the hotel and the team each spring25:00 Understated luxury and Aspen's local culture30:30 Training, trust and avoiding scripted service35:30 Mistakes, recovery and treating every guest like a VIP41:00 Quiet luxury and the power of human connectionBioStephane Lacroix is the general manager of Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado, part of Auberge Resorts Collection.

Thom Francis introduces us to Randee Renzi who performed her poems "Reach Out to Me", "Beautiful Brown Baby Boy", and "Peace" at the Brass Tacks poetry and spoken word open mic on September 18, 2018 at The Low Beat in Albany, NY. +++++ The power of storytelling within poetry is the ability to bring out emotions using few, well-chosen words. The poet is able to take readers into a world of vivid color and feelings. The storytelling of poetry can bring together cultural and personal divides, making it easier for different groups to understand varying points of view and experiences. Poets use rhythm, rhyme, and metaphor to develop themes of love, loss, and identity. This week, our poet, Randee Renzi, uses her words to tell the story of being a human, a woman, and a mother. Randee took the Low Beat Stage on September 18, 2018 shared three poems. She started out with a work-in-progress, "Reach Out to Me." Then, from memory, Randee recited a poem of the love and fears of being a white mother to a black son, "Beautiful Brown Baby Boy." She finished her set with a simple piece titled, appropriately enough, "Peace."

What does it take to see a problem so clearly you simply cannot walk away from it? For Sherri Combs, it happened in a swimming pool — and in one moment, she saw the entire vision for Silver Streak Senior Services: the logo, the framework, the platform. All of it, fully formed.Sherri is an award-winning entrepreneur, bestselling author, and senior advocate who spent a decade as a private banker watching seniors and their families navigate a fragmented, fraud-riddled landscape with no trusted guide. Scams were everywhere. Referral lists went stale. Lead-selling platforms turned vulnerable people into targets. Families in crisis were Googling their way through one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives — and finding confusion instead of help.So, she built something different. A nationwide vetted platform connecting seniors, caregivers, and the businesses that serve them with honesty, integrity, and heart. Every business on Silver Streak has passed criminal background checks, licensing and insurance verification, and reputation reviews. No shortcuts. No lead selling. No compromising the people she built this for.Three developers told her it couldn't be done. She sat down, learned to code, and proved them wrong.And she didn't stop there. Sherri also founded the Silver Streak Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to fraud awareness and prevention education for senior communities nationwide. She delivers training through senior centers, Rotary clubs, and community organizations, teaching seniors and caregivers how to recognize and stop scams before they cause harm.In this episode we cover:The swimming pool moment when the entire vision arrived at once — logo, framework, and allWhy the current way we search for senior services is fragmented, broken, and dangerousHow Silver Streak vets every business on the platform: background checks, licensing, insurance, and reputation reviewsThree web developers, one determined founder, and what she did when they said it couldn't be builtHer four-step Silver Streak It framework for scam protection: Pause, Verify, Reach Out, DeleteThe Just In Case Plan: why aging planning matters as much as estate planning — and the conversation every family needs to have before the crisis hitsHow Silver Streak is funded: membership fees as low as $1 for seniors, free for veterans and first responders, with proceeds donated to the nonprofitThe seven-phase vision for where Silver Streak is going — and why she's not waiting to get started3 Things You'll Take AwayYour vision is your protection. Three developers told Sherri it couldn't be done. Her clarity about what she was building — and her refusal to settle for anything less — is what kept her moving. When you know what you're building and why, obstacles become detours, not dead ends.Integrity is a business model. Silver Streak isn't free to list on because free platforms can't be trusted. The vetting process is the product. When safety and trust are your differentiators, you build differently — and that's exactly the point.Plan for the aging, not just the dying. Most families have a funeral plan. Very few have an aging plan. The Just In Case Plan fills that gap — and the conversation Sherri teaches us to have is one every family needs.Connect with Sherri: silverstreakseniorservices.com | Facebook: Don't Fall for It!

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.

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.

Cannabis Tech Talks

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hamburger America and the Great American Burger | George Motz

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.
