What happens when you walk away from a path to becoming a doctor, and end up becoming a Shachi Mehra - a Food Network Chopped champion, restaurant owner, and founder of a sauce brand?In this episode, we sit down with Chef Shachi Mehra to talk about her unconventional journey into the culinary world, the moment that changed everything, and how she's building a business rooted in making Indian flavors more accessible to everyone.Shachi shares the exact experience that made her realize medicine wasn't her path, and how one day working in a professional kitchen completely shifted her future. From there, she trained under renowned chefs, built her career in fine dining, and eventually opened Adya, a modern Indian fast-casual restaurant designed to introduce more people to the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine.We go deep into what actually makes Indian food so unique - from layered spices and regional diversity to the sensory experience of dishes like street food staples - and why it's often misunderstood in the United States.We also unpack her experience winning Chopped, including how she prepared, what most people don't see on TV, and why trusting your instincts matters more than playing it safe, especially in high-pressure environments.But one of the most valuable parts of this conversation is Shachi's honest take on building a consumer packaged goods (CPG) brand. If you've ever thought about turning a recipe into a product, this is a must-listen. She breaks down why running a restaurant and launching a product line are completely different businesses, the challenges of scaling, working with co-packers, navigating distribution, and the biggest mistakes chefs and founders make when entering retail.⏱️ Chapters00:00 – From Pre-Med to the Kitchen02:30 – The Moment That Changed Everything08:04 – Why She Opened a Fast-Casual Indian Restaurant10:30 – What Makes Indian Food So Addictive12:00 – Breaking Down Indian Street Food & Flavor Layers14:43 – Winning Chopped (and Trusting Your Instincts)17:38 – Why Restaurants ≠ CPG (What No One Tells You)20:30 – Scaling a Food Brand & Working with Co-Packers22:36 – Getting First-Time Customers to Try Indian Food24:18 – Building a Sauce Brand from Scratch26:00 – How Customers Actually Use Her Products27:43 – The Biggest Mistake Chefs Make in CPG29:29 – Being a Woman in a Restaurant's Kitchen32:00 – Leadership, Culture, and Running a Restaurant35:19 – Rapid Fire Q&A RoundBrought to you by Back of HouseYour most trusted resource for restaurant tech.

This week, Ira welcomes Joe Mikulich, co-founder of EDO Hospitality, the restaurant group behind some of Las Vegas' most talked-about dining destinations, including EDO Tapas, Anima by EDO, and Braseria by EDO. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Joe shares the story of how a Las Vegas native worked his way up from food runner to sommelier to restaurant entrepreneur, building a hospitality brand that celebrates bold flavors and adventurous dining. Joe explains what “EDO” really stands for—and why the concept resonates so deeply with people in the hospitality industry. He also talks about growing up in Las Vegas, the realities of entering a tough and competitive business, and why putting your ego aside is essential for success in restaurants. Joe reflects on opening his first restaurant, EDO Tapas, and how its tiny footprint created a surprising challenge—a cap on what was possible. That experience helped shape the vision behind Braseria by EDO, a restaurant intentionally designed to capture a specific market while pushing the menu in more adventurous directions. Along the way, Joe shares insights on delegation, leadership, using technology to stay organized, and why Spanish cuisine offers a “silver lining” of creativity and versatility in the kitchen. Plus, he reveals how soccer—his childhood passion—instilled the drive, discipline, and work ethic that still fuels his career today. It's a candid conversation about building restaurants, embracing creativity, and chasing big ideas in the ever-evolving Las Vegas dining scene. (Also Watch Full Podcast Video)

Chef and restaurateur Eduardo Garcia, better known as “Lalo,” started his cooking journey in his mother’s kitchen. His mother didn’t have any formal training, but prepared food through her own instincts and deep knowledge of flavors. As a child, Garcia picked fruits and vegetables on the migrant route from Florida to Michigan. It gave him firsthand experience of the work that it takes to harvest the produce that ends up on our plate. Today, Lalo Garcia is one of the most celebrated chefs in Latin America. Today, we talk about his journey. His immigrant story is one familiar to those who have crossed the border. Guests: Laura Tillman: Connecticut Mirror’s Human Services Reporter and author of “The Migrant Chef: The Life and Times of Lalo Garcia" Megan Baker: Lead Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Policy Analyst with the Connecticut Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity & Opportunity Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As businesses race toward faster systems, smarter tools, and total automation, something critical is getting lost: human connection. And ironically, the rise of AI is making that gap impossible to ignore. In this episode, I sit down with returning guest and close friend Will Guidara, former co-owner of Eleven Madison Park, to explore why humanity is becoming the ultimate competitive advantage in the age of AI. Will helped transform a restaurant into the best in the world, not by reinventing the food being served, but by reinventing the experience around it. He calls this philosophy "Unreasonable Hospitality," which is the practice of going beyond what's expected or required to make someone feel genuinely seen, valued, and cared for to create a memorable human experience. He argues that in a world where people expect excellence, the real differentiator is care. And Will isn't alone in this belief. His book Unreasonable Hospitality, which I'm the proud publisher of, is a global bestseller. And his follow up book, Unreasonable Hospitality: The Field Guide, comes out April 28, 2026. In this conversation, Will and I unpack why human value will continue to rise in an automated world, how the smallest moments of care can create lasting loyalty, how we can turn automation's efficiency into better experiences, and why the things that matter most in our lives are the hardest to measure. And fair warning, Will and I do giggle our way through some of this conversation about why technology can't replace human connection, the hidden cost of achievement, and a story about how a single piece of Basque cheesecake delivered to a hotel room is a gesture thoughtful enough to make someone feel seen.

From Le Caprice and The Ivy to The Wolseley and Brasserie Zédel, Jeremy King has helped define the way London eats, drinks and sees itself. His restaurants became institutions, attracting everyone from Princess Diana and Lucian Freud to generations of actors, artists, politicians and power players.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the legendary restaurateur to trace an extraordinary life behind some of the capital's most iconic dining rooms. Jeremy reflects on a childhood shaped by shyness, social awkwardness and a lasting sense of being an outsider, before explaining how an early fascination with risk led him to make major life decisions according to the throw of a dice, including the choice that pulled him away from Cambridge University and into hospitality.They discuss his first jobs in the restaurant world, the formative partnership with Chris Corbin, and the instincts that helped create some of London's most celebrated establishments. Jeremy reveals why great restaurants are about far more than food, how atmosphere and service can transform a room, and why making people feel they belong matters just as much as what is on the plate.From celebrity diners and royal visits to business setbacks, reinvention and the long-awaited reopening of Simpson's, the conversation moves through the highs, the risks and the resilience behind a singular career. Warm, candid and full of hard won insight, this is a conversation about ambition, instinct and the subtle art of creating places people never forget.Simpson's in The Strand EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/fulldisclosure Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Detroit is having a moment — and Sunda New Asian wants to be part of it. On today's Daily Detroit, I talk with restaurateur and CEO Billy Dec about why he chose to open Sunda's newest location in the District Detroit, right across from Comerica Park. We get into his intentional path from Chicago to Nashville to Tampa and now Detroit, and why this city's spirit reminds him of Chicago's rise some years ago. Our conversation touches on the generational ties between Michigan and Chicago, the data and "tea leaves" that pointed toward Detroit's growth, and the role of private investment and gritty civic pride in making it all real. Billy also shares with me how his Filipino roots, Southeast Asian travels, and a lifetime in hospitality show up in the design of Sunda's new space — from the island bar with "flower rain" overhead to the sake wall inspired by a hidden Tokyo spot and capiz shells over the sushi bar. It's a look at Detroit's current wave of development through the eyes of someone betting on the city, and bringing a deeply personal food story along for the ride. Plus, we talk about the dishes from Longevity Noodles to a Sweet Potato Caterpillar, and drinks like their Lychee Martini and Ube Espresso Martini. Key topics: Why Sunda's expansion from Chicago to Nashville, Tampa, and now Detroit has been very intentional. The long-running Michigan–Chicago connection in hospitality and how loyal guests moving back home helped pull Sunda to Detroit. What Billy saw in Detroit's data and "on the ground" energy that convinced him the city is in a historically significant moment. The impact of private investment, local developers, and a unified civic spirit on Detroit's growth. How the new Sunda space in District Detroit was designed: island bar with a disappearing wall, floral installation blending Sampaguita, cherry blossoms, and Michigan's apple blossom, and an immersive sake wall. The influence of Billy's Filipino heritage and Southeast Asian travels on Sunda's design and menu philosophy. Why he wants Detroiters to "backpack through" Southeast Asia via the menu — and maybe book a real-life trip after.
