This is a FUN episode. I’m speaking with a food writer, podcast/ television host and all-around colorful guy Chef Joe Ricchio. He is a big personality around the food scene in the state of Maine, as well as in the culinary world at large.

Joe has written for Bon Appetit, The Food Network, The New York Times and has appeared on Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations”. He is all about food trends, new and favorite restaurants, critiques, up and coming chefs and more.

Listen on as Joe Shares:

- The most important restaurant experiences to deliver (from the guest perspective)

- What attracts him to a restaurant to review, and what he looks for when dining at a new restaurant

- The current state of restaurant Quality, Service & Price

- How he worked in 45 restaurants over 25 years

- Personal Cheffing, chef gigs and what it takes to build a clientele

- What he cooks for himself and the most bizarre thing he’s eaten

And more fun, crazy restaurant stories and experiences!

Watch or Listen and then go out there and Rock YOUR Restaurant!
