Padma Lakshmi's new cookbook, Padma's All American, is a natural extension of her Hulu series Taste the Nation. In fact, the documentary laid the groundwork for the book, says the former Top Chef host. “Once we had done the show, I had all these communities I had already embedded myself in,” she told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. Beyond recipes, the book carries an important message: Lakshmi “was trying to...really highlight the positive effects of having all these contributions from immigrants.” For Lakshmi, the recipes are ultimately a vehicle for connection. “I am hoping that the food will entice you, will almost be like a bait to get closer to your neighbors. Hopefully you'll be curious enough to get to know the culture that the food came from and the people that are making this food.” Lakshmi returns to TV with the new CBS reality competition series America's Culinary Cup, where elite chefs compete for a major prize. “It doesn't look like any other TV set or studio I've ever seen.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://link.newsweek.com/join/for-the-culture Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Food historian and acclaimed author Becky Libourel Diamond provides an exclusive look inside her spectacular new release, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook, during an in-depth interview on The Ash Said It Show. This summary is a must-read for holiday bakers and food history enthusiasts seeking to bring 19th-century elegance to their modern Christmas celebrations. The Mystery of the Sugar Plum Revealed Becky definitively solves the mystery of the legendary sugar plum. She reveals the surprising truth: these historic confections are not sugary plums, but highly prized, expensive spice-coated nuts and seeds, meticulously layered in candy. This insight reframes the sugar plum as the ultimate luxury Victorian dessert of the Gilded Age. Extravagance, Adaptations, and Chef Walter Staib When discussing Gilded Age extravagance, Becky champions incorporating the era's tradition of extended, multi-day feasts and generous hospitality into the modern holiday schedule. The most demanding recipe to update was the lengthy historic fruit cake. Her secret weapon for accurately translating complex 19th-century measurements for today's home bakers? The simple, essential digital kitchen scale. Becky shares her deep respect for fellow food historian Chef Walter Staib, who penned the book's foreword. She would love to see him prepare the grand historic roasted Christmas goose on his show—the ultimate Gilded Age holiday centerpiece. Global Traditions and Festive Recipes Beyond Christmas, the cookbook includes Hanukkah and New Year's traditions. Becky shares a fun fact about Hanukkah: the focus on oil-fried recipes, such as perfect latkes, symbolically commemorates the miracle of the oil. For those ready to dive in, Becky recommends the Holiday Tea Cakes as the perfect festive project to start with. For the ultimate showstopper dessert at a holiday feast, she suggests the impressive, flaming Victorian Christmas Pudding. The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook is the definitive guide to vintage holiday recipes and traditions, offering a blend of history and accessible Christmas cooking for every modern kitchen. Becky Libourel Diamond: The Food Historian Connecting the Past to Your Plate Becky Libourel Diamond is a uniquely accomplished food writer, librarian, and historian whose career masterfully blends rigorous historical research with captivating storytelling. She is the definitive authority on Gilded Age food history and Victorian culinary traditions. New Release & Must-Read Cookbooks NEW! Her latest book, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook: Cookies and Treats from America's Golden Era (Launched September 2025), is a critical resource for holiday bakers and Christmas enthusiasts. Each recipe offers a colorful glimpse into Gilded Age Christmas lore, featuring the history, ingredients, and original baking methods of the era. * Available Now: Find this essential historical cookbook on: * Amazon * Barnes & Noble * Bookshop.org * Walmart * and more major retailers.

Landmark Culinary History & Research Becky's expertise extends across early American fine dining: * The Thousand Dollar Dinner: An engaging account of the nineteenth-century "Top Chef"-style competitionbetween Philadelphia and New York restaurateurs, documenting the extravagant, seventeen-course feast that helped launch fine restaurant dining in America. * Mrs. Goodfellow: The Story of America's Cooking School: Her first book details the life of a successful 19th-century pastry chef who pioneered an innovative cooking school for young women in Philadelphia.

Editors - Vikash Patel, Cedric Nairn-Smith and Kyle Reiter ACE Black Rabbit editors Viks, Ced and Kyle worked independently during post but still managed to collectively craft a complex narrative that stayed consistent in tone and style throughout the run of the series. And while new guy Reiter described feeling like a "bench player" on the team, Viks and Ced benefited from a long working relationship that began with Viks mentoring Ced as his former assistant. Regardless of any of their past experiences, star and producer Jason Bateman tasked the post team with creating a vibe that had tendencies drawn from Bateman's Netflix hit, Ozark but also from dark comedies like the Safdie brothers' Uncut Gems. Black Rabbit tells the tale of two brothers, Vince and Jake Friedken, former bandmates in a successful musical act whose lives went down different paths in the years that followed. Rising-star restaurateur Jake is forced into New York's criminal underworld when his chaotic brother returns to town with loan sharks on his trail, opens the door to escalating dangers that threaten to bring down everything he's built. VIKASH PATEL In addition to his work on Black Rabbit, Viks won an Emmy® in 2008 for his work on TOP CHEF and was nominated for an Emmy® in 2020 for his work on OZARK. Viks has also edited series that include THE SYMPATHIZER (2024), THE MORNING SHOW (2019), BATES MOTEL (2015-16) and LONGMIRE (2012-14). CEDRIC NAIRN-SMITH Prior to Black Rabbit, Cedric's editorial work could be seen on DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN (2025), MOON KNIGHT (2022), LISEY'S STORY (2021), THE BOYS (2019-2020) and BATES MOTEL (2015-2017). KYLE REITER, ACE 4x Emmy® nominee Reiter has edited such shows as MR. AND MRS. SMITH (2024), BARRY (2018) and ATLANTA (2016), a series for which Kyle would win an ACE Eddie award in 2019.

Melissa King is back! The “Top Chef” champion stops by to chat about her debut book, “Cook Like a King: Recipes from My California Kitchen,” and how it's a roadmap of her life. Melissa got her start as a latchkey kid making meals for her parents, who worked as engineers. She used the microwave until her folks trusted her with the stove, and her mom even gifted her a child-size meat cleaver when she was just eight. Little did they know she would grow up to compete on “Top Chef” twice, and that she would win the title once she learned to embrace the food she grew up with. She credits the show's Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons with pushing her to “think deeper” about her creations and cook with heart and soul. She and host Kerry Diamond also cover the ceviche dish she created for the Met Gala and the Thom Browne suit she wore on the red carpet; how she makes a living as a culinary creative without a restaurant; and what's behind the recipes in her new book.

After many ups and downs, the film industry in North Carolina is making gains. Last year, film and TV productions here generated more than $302 million in direct in-state spending and Charlotte is taking in some of that money with productions like "The Hunting Wives," "Roofman," "Bad Counselors" and "Top Chef" shooting here. We take a closer look at what this means for our economy, culture and workforce.
Welcome back to Pizza Quest!Charlotte, NC is starting to generate more and more national buzz as a culinary destination city. Top Chef is in pre-production here in preparation for its next season, with Charlotte as the host city, and some of the local chefs and restaurants are getting recognition by The James Beard and other prestigious organizations. And, on the pizza front, a couple new pizzerias are getting a lot of national recognition and, in the case of our guests on this episode, international acclaim. Bird Pizzeria a tough reservation to get these days, with a 60 day wait list and a location that is slightly off the beaten path, but the pizzas are uniquely their own -- a combination of East Coast as well as Chicago and Cleveland influence. In addition, due to the magic of TikTok and Instagram, the Kale Caesar Salad has gone viral and now people from as far away as New Zealand are filming themselves doing knock-off versions. Who knew?As a Caesar Salad junkie myself (I sometimes flirt with the idea of doing a companion website called Caesar Salad Quest), I had to get over there to find out what all the hoopla was about. My wife, Susan, and met up with Blaine and Honey Parker (who you will meet in a future episode here if you aren't already a subscriber to Blaine's newsletter, Free the Pizza), who had driven 600 miles just to experience Bird Pizzeria as part of their own pizza quest (like I said, the buzz has extended beyond the city walls), and we all shared the (yes) amazing Kale Caesar as well as two signature pizzas, The Plain (their take on a Margherita) and also the White, with half pepperoni and half sausage and a few other embellishments. You'll hear more about the salad and the pizzas during this podcast.In this episode, Nkem and Kerrel share their journey with us, and tell us how they ended up landing in Charlotte and developing their menu. Their story, like many others we've showcased here, is unconventional, loaded with unexpected moments of struggle and grace that somehow have serendipitous, happy endings. Sometimes you throw out the playbook and just follow your gut. Those are the places that often end up becoming legends in the making.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're counting down the days to Jubilee L.A., our big conference taking place Sunday, Sept. 28th. In the spirit of what's to come, we're revisiting one of the most powerful conversations from this year's Jubilee in New York City: “Meet the Moment: The Power of Food and Storytelling in Creating Change.”Moderated by writer and cookbook author Klancy Miller of “For the Culture,” this inspiring panel brings together an incredible group of changemakers: Paola Velez, founder of Bakers Against Racism; pastry chef and queen of the charity bake sale Natasha Pickowicz; recipe developer and author of “Third Culture Cooking” Zaynab Issa; and Emmy Award–winning documentary producer Deb Freeman of “Finding Edna Lewis.” They're introduced by chef Lana Lagomarsini, a “Top Chef” semifinalist known for her beloved Juneteenth cookouts in New York City.Together, these women reflect on how food and storytelling can move culture, spark change, and bring communities together—something we all need more of right now.Thank you to Square, Ketel One, and The Sports Bra for their support.

In this episode of Wrecked by Art, I share how chef Tristen Epps' win on Top Chef Canada became a powerful metaphor for the creative process. We talk about what it means to create from authenticity, how to keep going when you don't know what you're making yet, and why knowing yourself is the foundation of creative expression. Whether you're blocked, burnt out, or just craving more depth in your art, this episode is for you.What I Talk About in This Episode:Why I love competition shows where people create with passion (Top Chef, Bake Off, Pottery Throw Down, etc.)* A Top Chef moment that cracked me open* What Tristan's win taught me about trusting the creative process* Why the best work often starts without a clear idea* The myth of inspiration vs. the truth of presence* Art as lineage, memory, and cultural storytelling* How authenticity requires deep self-knowledge and healing* The difference between broad and deep impact in creative work* Why your truth—not your polish—is what makes your art matter* A gentle invitation to “go to the grocery store” and meet your art where it livesLinks & Resources:Join the Becoming Art waitlist: cindyingram.com/becomingBook a 1:1 curiosity call: cindyingram.com/coachingFollow me on TikTok and ThreadsMentioned in This Episode:Top Chef Canada Season 22 (featuring winner Tristen Epps)Great Pottery Throw Down, Bake Off, Blown AwayMy book: Art Is About Being Whole: A Memoir Get full access to Wrecked by Art with Cindy Ingram at cindyingram.substack.com/subscribe
Stephanie Izard has a streak of fearlessness in her. She went from being a sous chef to a restaurateur at age 27 and hasn't looked back. Closing that restaurant, Scylla, in 2007 after a three-year run, she went on to compete in and win season four of Bravo TV's Top Chef in 2008. From there she launched her goat-themed restaurant empire, now comprised of two Girl & the Goat locations in Chicago and Los Angeles, two units of her Peruvian concept, Cabra (Spanish for “goat”), in those same cities, as well as Little Goat Diner and Duck Duck Goat in Chicago.At the end of March she opened her first licensed concept, Valley Goat, at the Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley in Sunnyvale, Calif., and last month she opened Lucky Goat at the Hollywood Casino in Joliet, Illinois, with another to come in nearby Aurora. Next up: Cabrito, a fast-casual concept slated to open at Orlando International Airport.She also recently attended US Foods' Food Fanatics conference in Las Vegas where she caught up with Menu Talk hosts Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality. She shared her approach to menu development, her plans for the future and the odd but beneficial status of being famous.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 29 août 2025 avec Alice Augustin, grand reporter société et violences sexistes et sexuelles au magazine Elle. Star de la gastronomie française, le chef étoilé Jean Imbert a annoncé mercredi sa mise en "retrait" de ses établissements après l'ouverture d'une enquête à son encontre pour des violences conjugales qu'il conteste. "C'est (...) par respect (pour mes collaborateurs, ndlr), que j'ai pris la décision de me mettre en retrait de mes établissements, le temps que la justice fasse son travail", écrit le gagnant de Top Chef en 2012, qui est notamment derrière les fourneaux du restaurant étoilé des hôtels Plaza Athénée à Paris et Martinez à Cannes.Surnommé "le chef des stars", il est visé par une enquête pour violences conjugales ouverte par le parquet de Versailles à la suite de la plainte déposée par une de ses ex-compagnes, l'ancienne actrice Lila Salet. Dans cette plainte portant sur des faits remontant à 2012-2013, elle dit avoir "eu vraiment peur pour (sa) vie" et fait état de gifles récurrentes, violences, de faits d'emprise et d'une séquestration dans un hôtel "pendant plusieurs heures" lors d'un weekend en Italie. Mardi, ses avocates Me Jacqueline Laffont-Haïk et Julie Benedetti ont affirmé que les faits allégués par Lilia Salet étaient à la fois prescrits et contredits par de "nombreux (....) éléments matériels".Le 19 août dernier, l'ancienne Miss France Alexandra Rosenfeld, qui avait témoigné dans le magazine Elle anonymement, a révélé faire partie des victimes présumées du chef Jean Imbert, son ex-compagnon. Elle assure vouloir que "la vérité soit entendue".Alice Augustin Grand reporter société et violences sexistes et sexuelles au magazine Elle, est notre invitée. Elle a signé en avril dernier, avec Cecile Ollivier, la première enquête sur cette affaire, faisant état de quatre victimes présumées. Elle reviendra avec nous sur la portée de ces enquêtes, qui mettent au jour des sujets de société essentiels, que sont les violences conjugales, et psychologiques.
Nadiya Hussain and Kristen Kish are winners of two of the most popular cooking shows on television – and they're both out with new books about life and food. First, Hussain won The Great British Baking Show in 2015. Her latest cookbook Cook Once, Eat Twice is about simplicity, efficiency, and turning one dish into two different meals. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Sarah McCammon about a two-part recipe from her cookbook. Then, Kristen Kish won season 10 of Top Chef, but says she wasn't always comfortable being showcased. Her new memoir Accidentally on Purpose tells the story of that journey. In today's episode, she talks with Here & Now's Jane Clayson about growing up adopted, working at fast food restaurants, and filling in for Padma Lakshmi on Top Chef.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This week, we have Chef & food personality Ilan Hall in the building. His food has been described as "confrontational" and "designed to alienate as many people as possible". So naturally, we had to have him on the pod. Not only do we talk food but we play a ridiculous game of boyband "F$CK, MARRY KILL", why David Chang blocked him on IG, the MOST controversial episode of TOP CHEF in 22 seasons starring HIM and why NO ONE should ever open a restaurant EVER. Plus pop music and his take on the Kendrick/Drake beef. It's a spicy one. @ilanhall Mentions: @chef.dannygarcia @bravotopchef @chefsamtalbot @marcelvigneron @bbamars @meilin21 @bryanvoltaggio @craft_newyork @tomcolicchio @casamonobarjamon @wolvesmouth @ideasinfood @hoodrich72 @ronniecwoo @bobbyflay @anovaculinary @sammic_official @mr_camron @guyfieri @chefjeremiahstone @davidchang @utopiabagels @mamas_too
Chef Tristen Epps, who just won Season 22 of Bravo's Top Chef, grew up the son of a single mom who was a JAG, a lawyer with the military. That meant he moved about 16 times before the end of high school—from Guam to the Philippines—and was exposed to a wide range of cuisines from a young age. His travel background, along with family roots in Trinidad, led to a deep appreciation for food and cooking, and also a desire to both celebrate and elevate Afro-Caribbean cuisine. Now, on the tail of his high profile Top Chef win, he's on a path to opening a fine dining restaurant in Houston called Buboy – a tribute to his grandfather's nickname. And his goals for Buboy are ambitious, as he looks to bring Afro-Caribbean cooking in the United States to the Michelin-star level. We'll talk about all that, plus the years he spent working at the Greenbriar in West Virginia, how his step-father's unfortunate passing mid-season affected his time on Top Chef, and how he's embracing his identity as a Southerner and a Houstonian.

Katie Lee Biegel grew up in Milton, West Virginia, descended from a long line of women who really knew how to cook. Her grandparents had a big vegetable garden and canned their own green beans and tomatoes. Her great grandmother won blue ribbons for her angel food cake, her great aunt was a fabulous cook, and all of them instilled in her a love for comfort food and hospitality that she's carried all her life. After getting a lot of attention in the media for her marriage to Billy Joel at age 23, she started writing cookbooks, landed a gig hosting Top Chef, wrote a novel about surfing, and eventually became a co-host of The Kitchen on the Food Network, which she's now been doing for 11 seasons. These days, Katie is busier than ever, with a new movie coming out on the Hallmark Channel called Catch of the Day, which she produced and co-wrote, and a 5 year-old daughter who does not love vegetables. Sid talks to Katie about her Appalachian roots, her favorite restaurant ever, her recipe for sweet tea oven fried chicken, and her family's Christmas tradition in West Virginia.
