I decide to phone a friend to sort out my feelings on some recent food headlines, including but not limited to René Redzepi announcing Noma’s imminent closure in 2024, AI in restaurants in Charleston and Trader Joe’s lack of food. Robert and I both worked at Noma for free, coincidentally, and we weigh in on what the announcement means for the food world.

WHAT’S FOR FAMILY MEAL IS BACK! Lindsay calls up Braydon Sutherland in Paris, FR at the iconic Chez la Vieille and he gives us the skinny on his last six months living abroad. AND Lindsay finally drops the super secret, super rad announcement (it’s pretty epic…listen to the end) and reads a listener letter on air.
A very, very special appearance from Robert Pratt (maitre d’ at The French Laundry) and the darling Caroline Anderson (host at The French Laundry) makes episode 104 a super special reunion! We discuss old times together at Per Se and restaurant proposals gone awry. It’s all about memories y’all.
Our very first show from the New York City series is here. The Chef de Cuisine of Thomas Keller’s Per Se, Corey Chow joins us in the 10th floor studio at The NoMad hotel. We talk restaurant evolution, Rice-A-Roni, and we learn about a new device to keep your Mom honest.
