Nick Tamburo and Nikita Malhotra are the chef and wine director of Smithereens, a New England-style seafood spot in the East Village. Their thoughtful, imaginative takes on regional culinary traditions and their own cravings result in a totally singular restaurant—and today on the show, we’re unpacking how food and drinks combine at Smithereens.

And at the top of the show, we have a great conversation with Will Thompson. He’s co-owner of the modern steakhouse Sunny’s in Miami. He gives us his top five meals that have inspired his long career working in bars and restaurants. This is part of a new recurring segment with Resy, where Resy editors, writers, and partner chefs discuss compelling stories and discuss the latest in food and dining culture.

The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers – not of Resy—and do not constitute professional advice.
