The LA food equivalent of a new Taylor Swift album dropped this week. The Los Angeles Times has released its annual 101 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles list, and Acquired Taste got early access before anyone else.On this episode of The LA Food Podcast, Luca Servodio sits down with LA Times restaurant critics Bill Addison and Jenn Harris at Mercado La Paloma, which was named the number one restaurant on the 101 for 2025. The trio digs deep into how the list is made, how hundreds of meals are evaluated, and why this year's top pick reflects something bigger about Los Angeles dining, community, and resilience.Bill and Jenn break down the theme of the year, how catastrophe and creativity shaped the list, and what it means to rank restaurants during one of the toughest years the city has faced. They also explain major jumps and drops, including Damian, Stir Crazy, Vespertine, and Restaurant Ki, discuss the emotional weight of cutting restaurants from the list, and address the ongoing debate over whether food lists should consider community impact alongside culinary excellence.In Part 2, Father Sal joins Luca for their signature Frankly Psychotic Analysis of the 101. They examine rising stars, surprising omissions, restaurants that keep climbing, and those that seem to yo-yo year after year, plus the places that intrigue them most heading into 2026.Note: Luca's audio dips briefly about 20 minutes into the conversation, but Bill Addison and Jenn Harris remain loud and clear throughout.Powered by Acquired Taste Media.–Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

Happy Birthday, Blue Man!

Son timbre est mystique, son style dense et lyrique, ses sujets conscients : alors que sort son troisième album, The Illusion of Being, rencontre à domicile avec une emcee qui, à la ville aussi, choisit ses mots avec soin. Et ça fait sacrément du bien ! En 2013, Return of the Astro-Goth, son premier album, lui a valu une reconnaissance nationale (avec trois nominations aux South African Hip Hop Awards), mais aussi d'être adoubée par la old-school internationale (de Public Enemy à Sage Francis). Tout ça, avant un featuring mémorable, en 2018, sur la B.O. de Black Panther aux côtés Vince Staples et Kendrick Lamar.En 2019, après la sortie de son deuxième album, Anima Mysterium, la native de Queenstown, une ville du Cap Oriental, s'installe dans le sud de la France. Depuis, avec son complice le producteur et emcee sud-africain Kanif The Jhatmaster, elle a voyagé dans toute la Méditerranée avec pour point d'ancrage, Marseille.Une ville qui abrite aussi I.O.T Records, le label indépendant « sans genres, ni frontières » sur lequel s'apprête à sortir son troisième album, The Illusion of Being.Et c'est justement dans la cité phocéenne que nous la rencontrons. Car, en ce début printemps, Yugen Blakrok est à l'affiche du Babel Music Xp, le carrefour marseillais des musiques planétaires !Quelques heures avant son concert au Dock des Suds, on revient sur certaines des personnalités qui l'ont façonnées : du rappeur sud-africain Robo the Technician, à l'écrivaine afro-américaine Octavia Butler.Il est question d'énergie, d'empathie, de douceur et de notre manière d'être au monde, le visible comme l'invisible…Pour suivre Yugen BlakrokYouTube / Instagram/ Facebook / BandcampTitres diffusésExtraits de l'album The Illusion of Being (Yugen Blakrok / I.O.T.

Is Jordan Kahn's Meteora on track for a second Michelin star? On this episode of The LA Food Podcast, we dive deep into LA's most ambitious fine-dining jungle—Meteora. After falling for Chef Jordan Kahn's futuristic tasting menu at Vespertine, we head to his Melrose Avenue follow-up to see if the hype (and the hefty price tag) is justified. Is this lush, high-concept, nature-driven restaurant actually deserving of a second Michelin star? We break it down, course by course.Plus, it's Part 4 of our Opening Cafe Esca series with chefs Luke Reyes and Reilly Cox. This week, they walk us through the creative (and chaotic) process of building a food and beverage menu from scratch for their upcoming coastal Italian spot in LA's Arts District.And don't miss our rapid-fire Chef's Kiss / Big Miss segment, featuring TikTok-famous olive oil squeeze bottles, Apple TV's new chef series, and maybe the most aggravating pizza guy on the internet.Helpful Links:Meteora https://meteora.la/TASTE on those pesky squeeze bottles https://tastecooking.com/the-big-squeeze/Careme preview, per The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/arts/television/careme-french-chef.htmlEater on Texas Strip https://ny.eater.com/2025/4/25/24416858/texas-renaming-new-york-strip-steak-bill-texas-stripOpening Cafe Esca Part 1 https://open.spotify.com/episode/19HDiV4o0i2dP9ZZ7B7E9BPart 2 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7DoKDMtS74ngrVzjBBkzXIPart 3 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7J8MZ7HGuMIdRvq6zYezUy?si=hXmPzXKrQ9uwKktH3tIEuw–Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠–Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

We finally made it to Jordan Kahn's Vespertine in Culver City, which reopened after a hiatus in the Spring of 2024, and earned not one but two Michelin Stars just a few months later. If you've heard people talk about VesperVespertineine, then you know that it elicits strong reactions. Some people can't get enough of Chef Kahn's otherworldly creations, with Michelin describing his food as “visually stunning” and “daringly inventive.” Others, however, walk away deeply confounded, scratching their heads like entire world in the wake of the Luka Doncic trade. I believe the Infatuation called it “unpleasant to consume.” But what did Father Sal and I think of the experience? Listen to find out as we walk you through our entire journey in our trademark, frankly psychotic fashion.  Helpful Links: Vespertine https://vespertine.la/ T-shirts for restaurant wildfire relief https://thelocalsupermarket.com/ Daniel Hernandez on guac https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2025-02-05/mexico-city-style-modern-mexican-spicy-guacamole Top Chef Season 22 trailer https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/top-chef-season-22-trailer-cast-location-premiere-date Eater pans Chicken Guy!

What do the Eater layoffs mean for food media in Los Angeles? Did Bill Addison's review of Vespertine get us more or less excited to visit the two Michelin-star juggernaut? And what to make of Melissa Clark's underwhelming experiences at Thomas Keller's Per Se and The French Laundry? Father Sal's with us today to discuss all of the above, plus a controversy at Long Beach's Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, a bold proclamation of the best fast food item in America, and quote-unquote intrepid food influencer whose rating every steakhouse chain from the comfort of his own Tesla.  In Part 2, we're joined by Reilly Cox and Luke Reyes for the second installment of our Opening Cafe Esca series. If you missed Part 1, this is our series where Luke and Reilly are bringing us along in their journey of opening an ambitious new Italian restaurant in a stunning Arts District development come March of 2025. For today's conversation, I met up with Reilly and Luke at their very much under-construction restaurant space, to hear about how they've been working with their designer on a design concept that presents a modern Italian dining experience able to convey warmth while also standing out amidst the sea of Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. Today's convo will focus on the concept of the design, and our next installment coming up in a few weeks will center around the nitty gritty of bringing that vision to life by way of materials, permitting, budget constraints, and more.

This is the 8th bonus episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. Our guest Ali Baker is a researcher in children's literature with a particular interest in children's voice and children's rights, so it's no surprise she chose to come on and talk to us about The Invisible Child! Ali makes a strong case for Bjork as a Spirit of Little My and reminisces about finding the Moomins in her local library as a kid. We situate the Moomins as a type of fantasy, and Ali recommend's Dr Farah Mendlesohn's Rhetorics of Fantasy. We talk about the mixed up class elements of the Moomin family, and go on a long tangent about femme-shaming (#JusticeForTheSnorkMaiden), with reference to Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small quartet. Ali's article about the the sensitivity edit's to Roald Dahl's work is here. Her Spirit of the Moomin's is Bjork's album Vespertine, and her Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is her podcast Fantasy Book Swap.

Michelin held its 2024 California Guide Ceremony earlier this week, and it's fair to say that LA restaurants fared rather well. Jordan Kahn's Vespertine earned back its 2 stars, Holbox, Uka and Meteora earned their first, and LA also dominated the list of new Bib Gourmands. But, like I ask my therapist on a weekly basis, what does it all mean? Father Sal's on the pod today to help us make sense of it all.  We also discuss the crucial matter of whether aspiring Vice President of the United States Tim Walz is a foodie, why Pete Wells decided to go all get off my lawn on his final essay as critic of The New York TImes, and a brilliant new series from Eater exploring iconic regional dishes from around the country. Finally, we've got Part 2 of our interview with Botanica's Heather Sperling. Last week's Part 1 received rave reviews, especially from those who appreciate behind-the-scenes looks at restaurant operations. Well, Part 2 is even better. Heather and I discuss in detail the factors making restaurant finances so damn difficult, and what can be done to ease the burden both for businesses and, get this, landlords. I bet you weren't expecting that. We also talk about the exciting food happening at Botanica, of course, and why you as a consumer should feel good supporting a business such as theirs.  Helpful links: LA FOODSTACK newsletter on Substack https://thelacountdown.substack.com/p/3-hot-takes-on-the-2024-california Botanica https://botanicarestaurant.com/ Heather Sperling https://www.instagram.com/heathersper/?hl=en Heather Sperling in the LA Times https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2024-05-14/one-dollar-at-botanica-restaurant-los-angeles-heather-sperling -- Get 10% off your first order at House of Macadamias using code “LAFOOD” https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods -- Get 10% off your first order of wagyu beef products at First Light Farms using code “LAFOOD10” https://www.firstlight.farm/us/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelafoodpodcast/support

In this episode we welcome the esteemed David Toop to Hammersmith – on the UK's General Election day – to discuss his extraordinary new book about (and around) Dr. John's 1968 album Gris-Gris. First we revisit the short-lived but splendidly eclectic Collusion magazine our guest co-founded in 1981: we hear about its inception and mission, as manifest in groundbreaking pieces about rap, surf, salsa, exotica and "paranoid sex in '60s soul". We touch on key points along the journey of David's journalistic career before arriving at The Wire in the '90s. A 2012 Pitchfork piece about Wire icon Scott Walker leads us to David's audio interview for that article: two clips from the conversation prompt discussion of Walker's remarkable career from the Walker Brothers to his new album Bish Bosch. Finally we reach the debut album by Malcolm Rebennack, a.k.a. "Dr. John the Night Tripper", and learn of the long gestation of David's book during lockdown. David discusses the complex themes and issues explored in Two-Headed Doctor, including voodoo, racism, minstrelsy, New Orleans, unreliable mythography, and the unsung brilliance of the album's co-creator Harold Battiste. A gravelly clip from the late Charlie Gillett's 1971 audio interview with the Night Tripper himself provides a capsule backstory to the album's germination.  Mark talks us out with quotes from newly-added library pieces about Stan Getz (1973), Fred Wesley (1974), Primal Scream (1997) and Robbie Williams (1999). Many thanks to special guest David Toop. Listening for Ghosts in Dr John's Gris-Gris will be published on August 20th by Strange Attractor. Pieces discussed: ¿Te Gusta La Musica Latina?, Alone in the Dark: Björk on Vespertine, Incredibly Strange and Highly Exotic, Scott Walker audio, Mystic vapour: 'Jump Sturdy' (book excerpt), Dr. John: Shadowy Singer Rises From Bayou, Dr. John In Babylon, Dr. John audio, Harold Battiste, Stan Getz, Fred Wesley, Primal Scream and Robbie Williams.

Santiago Lastra is the chef of Michelin-starred restaurant KOL in London. He visited in LA on the heels of the World's 50 Best ceremony in Las Vegas, where KOL was named the number 17 best restaurant in the world. He stopped by the City of Angels for a special collab dinner with Vespertine's Jordan Kahn, and I'm really honored he made time to grab lunch with me at Gilberto Cetina's Holbox, the 2023 LA Times Restaurant of the Year, located at Mercado La Paloma.  This is truly a one-of-a-kind episode, dear listener. Chef Lastra tells us his frankly wild story, from growing up in Cuernavaca, Mexico to becoming known globally as a nomadic chef hosting pop-ups all over the world. He tells us about working with Rene Redzepi on Noma's famed pop-up in Tulum, how he developed his style as a chef who blends Mexican techniques and traditions with hyper-local ingredients, and he walks us through what a meal at KOL actually looks like. Personally, I was deeply moved by Santiago's passion and philosophy around food and hospitality. Oh, and did I mention that Chef Gilberto Cetina was serving us lunch while we spoke? Chef Gilberto makes multiple cameos in the episode to chat with Santiago and to explain the incredible dishes he's bringing to the table. It was an outstanding meal as meals at Holbox always are, and it was really cool for me to see these two powerhouse chefs exchange thoughts and ideas. I think you'll enjoy it too.  Finally, no news on this podcast - but subscribe to LA FOODSTACK, our brand new Substack newsletter for our curation of the week's headlines.

In a new cookbook filled with Lebanese recipes, Hana El-Hibri invokes the spirit of "mayylu," an invitation for visitors to pop in. Jo Flashman pairs Southern California hikes with microbreweries. Kitty Morse opens a tattered leather valise and uncovers a WWII journal from her French forbearers — with photographs and some very special recipes. Chef Jordan Kahn ushers in a new era at Vespertine. Gustavo Arellano weighs in on a proposed California law that would require folic acid to be added to masa. Finally, there's a new face at the farmer's market.

Gabe Kennedy is the all-star chef behind Highland Park's Checker Hall. He joins us today to tell us his high-octane journey, which includes winning Anthony Bourdain's competition show “The Taste,” co-founding one of the hottest plant-based supplement companies on the market, and uprooting his life in New York to relocate to LA and grace our city with one of the most fun dining experiences I've had in a long time in Highland Park's Checker Hall.  One conversation with Gabe and you're immediately hooked. You can just really tell how much this guy cares, not just about making delicious food, but about doing things that have real meaning and thought behind them. Personally I'm stoked to have Checker Hall in my backyard, but they've got a chicken schnitzel that is 100% worth driving across town for. Not to mention the historic building, the fantastic cocktails, the music venue next door. It's one of the most fun evenings you can have in our fair city, and I think you'll be makin' a rez right after you hear Gabe talk about it.  But first, Father Sal and I break down the things that caught my eye this week. There's the Infatuation's lackluster review of Vespertine, an intriguing albeit quite cringey Taste article on The Best Restaurant in Town, and a discussion on whether shoppy shops are good, bad or somewhere in between for neighborhoods.

The LA vs NY debate is over, and we hate to tell ya, but LA has some work to do. Jordan and Max discuss why Los Angeles is currently lacking in the food world, how the city can storm back, and what new restaurants will help bring the ruckus. They also talk meals at Poltergeist and Holbox, Vespertine's return, Daniel Boulud coming to Beverly Hills, what the correct French and Spanish restaurants should look like, Cipriani vs. Dunsmoor aka our demise, and Erewhon's laughing at us. Plus, the intermittent fasting article everyone is sending the fellas, what the hell is going on in real estate, and Max's nude injury.

We're joined by Charbel Hayek, a Top Chef champion and World-All Stars contestant who's recently opened up one of Los Angeles' buzziest new restaurants. Charbel is the mastermind behind Ladyhawk, which opened last year inside of the La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood. Ladyhawk has been earning rave reviews for its forward-thinking Eastern Mediterranean menu, with LA Times critic Bill Addison calling it “Los Angeles' most compelling Lebanese restaurant.” Charbel joins us to talk about the journey that led him to Ladyhawk, from growing up in Beirut as the son of a chef, to becoming the youngest ever Top Chef winner in global franchise history. Of course, I couldn't let him leave without asking him all of the dirty deets on his Top Chef experience, especially with respect to last year's World All-Stars in London. He breaks down just how grueling the filming schedule is, what it was like to win the Gaggan Anand challenge that allowed him to showcase his love for his country, and how he conceptualized the iconic onion dish that he's become synonymous with in Top Chef-loving circles.  Also… There's a War on Pizza playing out in New York City, a fascinating inside look at Vespertine 2.0, and the return of Cafe Tropical in Silver Lake.

“Jeg følte mig inviteret ind til en følsomhed, jeg kunne genkende, men som jeg absolut ikke havde lyst til at være ved.” Sådan beskriver skuespiller Ena Spottag sit møde med Björks musik. Albummet ”Vespertine” bringer hende i kontakt med et rigt indre liv af komplicerede følelser, som I sidste ende får Ena til at acceptere sig selv. I denne første del af ugens Portrætalbum kan du blandt andet høre om, hvordan Ena Spottag gik fra drømmen om at blive musiker til at forelske sig i skuespillet.

“Jeg er blevet bedre til at passe på mig selv - på grund af det her album.” Når skuespiller Ena Spottag her i 2023 bliver bedt om at beskrive, hvad Björks album ”Vespertine” har betydet for hende, så står det klart, at albummets sange har været med til at skabe den person og den skuespiller, som Ena er blevet til. I denne anden del af ugens Portrætalbum får du historien om dengang, hvor Ena mødte både Tom Waits og Lou Reed, da hun så sin far spille ”Woyzeck” på Betty Nansen Teatret og forelskede sig i skuespillet og blev helt overbevist om, at det også var den vej, hun skulle i livet.

Happy Sunday! We hope you enjoy this episode of us reviewing Unholy Terrors by Lyndall Clipstone Don't forget to follow us to not miss any future episodes!! We post every Sunday!  You can find all of our socials here :) so make sure you come and stalk us!    Up Next: Halloween Special Episode   Summary: A bloodstained tale of a girl torn between her vows and her heart, where falling in love may be the deepest sin of all… Everline Blackthorn has devoted her life to the wardens—a sect of holy warriors who guard against monsters known as the vespertine. When a series of strange omens occur, Everline disobeys orders to investigate, and uncovers a startling truth in the form of Ravel Severin: a rogue vespertine who reveals the monsters have secrets of their own. Ravel promises the help she needs— for a price. Vespertine magic requires blood, and if Everline wants Ravel to guide across the dangerous moorland, she will have to allow him to feed from her. It's a sin for a warden to feed a vespertine— let alone love one— and as Everline and Ravel travel further across the moorland, she realizes the question isn't whether she will survive the journey, but if she will return unchanged. Or if she wants to.

  This title was released in January 2023. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 28 February 2023, and on general sale after this date. The Doctor and his great-grandson Alex are back travelling the universe together… but when that universe is in the grips of a Time War, the unexpected lurks round every corner... 5.1 Meanwhile, Elsewhere by Tim Foley (1 part) The Doctor and Alex arrive on a tropical beach where something's amiss. Meanwhile, elsewhere… a desperate pilot runs for his life. Meanwhile, elsewhere… it's Cass Fermazzi's first day on an errand-class starship. Meanwhile, elsewhere… it's the beginning of the end of everything. 5.2 Vespertine by Lou Morgan (1 part) It's Cass's first trip in the TARDIS, and the Doctor is determined to make it one to remember. But when they arrive at a research base that shouldn't exist, built above a missing explorer's ship that should never have been found, it seems their visit's going to be memorable for all the wrong reasons. Because deep beneath the ice, there's more than just a long-lost ship waiting for them… 5.3 Previously, Next Time by James Moran (2 parts) Part One: The Doctor, Cass and Alex land to find out what's causing temporal anomalies with the TARDIS, and come across an uninhabited planet, a mysterious factory, and a weapon so dangerous, it could destroy the Universe. But things go catastrophically wrong… Part Two: The factory has vanished along with the TARDIS, and the formerly uninhabited planet is now fully populated by people who have been here for thousands of years, people who have never heard of the Time War OR Daleks. Something very strange is going on with time itself - and it's running out, fast.

What makes a great love song? By chatting about our favourites maybe we can find the common elements. We were inspired by recording our 69th episode in the middle of February which felt like the right convergence of events to talk about songs that express a sentiment of love. Not lust. Not fleeting moments of teenage attraction. Not a rendezvous at the local discotheque. Long lasting, true, heartfelt, dedicated love. But also the pang of love lost - or true love yet to come to fruition. Featured songs: Pagan Poetry by Bjork, from Vespertine, 2001 To Make You Feel My Love by Adele, from 19, 2008 To Make You Feel My Love Trisha Yearwood, from Hope Floats soundtrack, 1998 A Chicken with its Head Cut Off and I Don't Want to get Over You by The Magnetic Fields, from 69 Love Songs, 1999 Everlong by Foo Fighters, from The Colour and the Shape, 1997 Ore D'Amore by Mike Patton, from Mondo Cane, 2010 Gold to Me by Ben Harper, from Fight for Your Mind, 1995 Soldier by Richard Dawson, from Peasant, 2017 Fix You by Cold Play, from X&Y, 2005 Good Woman by Cat Power, from You Are Free, 2003 All I Need by Radiohead, from In Rainbows, 2007 La La Love You by The Pixies, Doolittle, 1989 Is This Love by Bob Marley, from Kaya, 1978 Lover, You Should Have Come Over by Jeff Buckley, from Grace, 1994 I Can't Help Falling in Love and I Need Love by Luka Bloom, from Acoustic Motorbike, 1992 Socials: Fb: https://www.facebook.com/supersonicchat Electronic mailing system: supersonicchat@gmail.com The Twits: https://twitter.com/chat_sonic Insta: https://www.instagram.com/supersonicchat --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/supersonicchat/message

On Halloween weekend 2022, a small group of us gathered in a lounge above The Royale Food & Spirits to hear Stan Chisololm deconstruct his single “Smitten.” Later that night, Stan would play an all vinyl DJ set. To help set the scene, you might picture Stan sitting on a black leather couch wearing the Bjork swon dress from her Academy Awards appearance in 2001 back in her Vespertine days.[“Hi I'm Stan aka 18andCounting…”][Theme]Stan Chisholm, aka “18andCounting” is an experimental DJ and emcee.

our sponsor: https://imitone.com/kitschfork/ EMAIL us: kitschforkpodcast@gmail.com for our very special 10th episode, we're taking a visit to the utopian musical island of a very special artist. yes that's right: it's the one, the only, everyone's favorite Icelandic pop goddess Björk. the duo congratulate themselves on their excellent timing on this episode right before a podcast series/new album is on the way from Björk herself. Liz also reflects on her very fraught relationship with the work of Björk as a former Björk stan, and there's commiseration on her (terrible) MoMA exhibition in 2015. and somewhere in there, music gets talked about. one of a kind, heart demolishing music.

Who would've known that some boys like us would stay going nowhere? Well, if it means hanging out to talk about Björk's 2001 album, "Vespertine", count us in! This week, we discuss the soundscapes and microbeats that craft an intimate, sonic glimpse into new love. But could a discussion about musicals mark the end of love between Joe and Brandon? Tune in to find out.Be sure to support the artists by purchasing "Vespertine" on iTunes or wherever you get your music.
