This is a Vintage episode from 2006.You're hearing a preview of this subscriber bonus episode. Restaurant Guys' Regulars can hear the full episode, plus other commercial-free bonus episodes, at  restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com .Why This Episode MattersWhy one of the world's most prized ingredients commands extraordinary prices.How truffle cultivation began challenging the romantic image of hunters searching the woods with trained dogs.Why aroma, scarcity and spectacle are as important to the allure of truffles as flavor.What happens when restaurants get their hands on thousands of dollars' worth of an ingredient that doesn't stay fresh for long.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott begin with a tale of New Jersey lobster justice that makes Maine's system of informal fishing rules look positively genteel. A territorial dispute involving lobster pots somehow progresses to gunfire, arson and a neighboring boat unfortunately parked in the wrong slip.Then, reports of people eating, and even cooking and driving, while asleep lead Mark to identify the true indignity: consuming thousands of calories without even getting to remember the meal.The ConversationFood writer Jane Black joins Mark and Francis after traveling through Spain to report on the changing world of truffles.The romantic picture is familiar: a hunter and his dog wandering through the woods in search of an elusive underground treasure. What Jane found instead were truffle orchards, inoculated trees and farmers trying to turn an unpredictable delicacy into a viable agricultural business.They explore why truffles became so scarce and expensive, how a former peasant food became one of dining's ultimate luxury ingredients, and why their remarkable aroma may matter more than their actual taste. Jane and the Guys also get into the sensual reputation of truffles, the theater of shaving them tableside and the questionable proliferation of truffle oil.Then come the cautionary tales: an enormously valuable white truffle purchased at a charity auction that was locked in a safe and allowed to rot, and Francis's considerably more personal horror story about a chef who received thousands of dollars' worth of beautiful fresh truffles—and immediately preserved them in oil.2026 update: At the time of this conversation, successful cultivation of the prized Italian white truffle (Tuber magnatum) remained elusive. Researchers have since documented controlled production of the species in a French orchard.Guest BioJane Black is a food journalist who covers food, culture, politics and sustainability. At the time of this interview, she was food editor at Boston Magazine and had written for publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, BusinessWeek and Newsweek International. She later became a staff writer at The Washington Post and co-host of the James Beard Award-winning podcast Pressure Cooker.Timestamps0:00 New Jersey vigilante lobster justice4:35 Sleep eating, Ambien and forgotten calories7:20 Jane Black enters the changing world of truffles12:00 How truffles went from peasant food to luxury15:00 Why truffles smell like sex—and why aroma matters22:20 The $35,000 truffle disaster, Francis's truffle tragedy and the future of cultivationInfoJane's article on truffles“Cultivating a Mystique,” The New York Times (2006) Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

 Most unhappy customers never tell you something is wrong. They simply stop showing up. In this episode, I'm breaking down why silence is one of the most dangerous signals in the bar business and how to recognize the subtle behavior changes your regulars make before they disappear. We'll talk about visit frequency, ordering habits, dwell time, body language, referrals, and how to build a simple system that helps you notice these patterns before they become lost revenue. Because your best regulars don't usually leave all at once. They fade. And if you know how to read the signs, you can strengthen relationships before they're gone.

SUMMARY What does a brand new customer get from you that your best customer doesn't? Usually a welcome offer or a promo. Now flip it. What does the person who's been with you for five years get? For most businesses, honestly, not a whole lot. In this episode of Brand Retro, Mike Brevik digs into the loyalty lie and why brands quietly take their best customers for granted. He breaks down how comfort and habit get mistaken for real loyalty, why deep new-customer discounts can backfire, and why the highest return move in your business might be the one you're already ignoring: taking care of the people already in the room. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most businesses put more energy, incentive, and discount into landing new customers than into keeping the ones already paying them, and that imbalance is quietly expensive. What looks like loyalty is often just habit and comfort. If you don't know why a customer is sticking around, you're taking them for granted. Deep discounts at the start of a relationship set a bad precedent. Clients who show up for price rarely become partners. Added value, not freebies, is what makes existing customers feel like the relationship is worth staying in. Taking care of the audience you already built is the cheapest marketing, the highest margin, and the strongest referral engine you have.

[00:02:00 - 00:03:00] Mike explains why unearned loyalty looks the same as real loyalty from the inside. [00:03:00 - 00:04:00] Mike breaks down how steep early discounts set a bad precedent with new clients. [00:04:00 - 00:06:00] Mike reframes the loyalty conversation around added value instead of discounts. [00:08:00 - 00:09:00] Mike uses his own loyalty to Nike as a case study in community access. [00:09:00 - 00:10:00] Mike ties this episode back to episode 133 and the idea that a loyal audience defends you. [00:10:00 - 00:12:00] Mike lays out why existing customers are the cheapest marketing and the best referral engine you have. [00:18:00 - 00:19:00] Mike shares how Cyberdogz shows up for clients during financial hardship or personal setbacks.

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.
