Fresh off an Argentina meat marathon, Xavier lands in Sarasota craving seafood and heads straight to Walt’s for a stone-crab-powered homecoming. From condiment debates to Manila’s Farmer Sanchez adding unexpected pizzazz to pizza, the OverSeasoned guys riff on food, culture, and identity… plus the gospel of Wednesday/Sunday asados, hunting for the perfect strawberry, and why fruterías, giant charcoal knobs, and Lincoln-log chimineas make Argentine grilling a world of its own.

Join the OverSeasoned crew this week as we cover the dynamics of tourist trap dining, FOH diplomacy & youthful diners, and the growing disparity between quality of experience and price of the meal.

X takes us on a humorous journey through beef temp diplomacy at his recent visit to Madre Rojas in Buenos Aires. What do you do when the Chef says “no” to your order request? To you succumb? Do you pivot? Do you stand your ground? Join the convo this week on the OverSeasoned Podcast!

Join the OverSeasoned crew as we dive into the gray area between culinary inspiration and straight-up recipe theft. From Sarasota shrimp cocktails that feel a little TOO familiar to a restaurant boldly serving “Nobu’s” new style sashimi that Nobu himself wouldn’t recognize... we unpack where homage ends and imitation begins. (It's the sincerest form of flattery, right?) These are our hot takes on respect, ownership, and why putting another chef’s name on your menu might just be a terrible idea.

Welcome to a special episode with our first Overseasoned Podcast guest since the pandemic, Geoff Feder of Feder Knives. Yes, we talk knives... but it's so much more than that.

A hot topic at the most recent NRA (National Restaurant Association) in Chicago was the future of robotics in the service industry. Where are they acceptable? How feasible is it to incorporate into everyday service? Does this detract from the human aspect we cherish about hospitality? Tune in as we discuss and debate all things robotics!

We had the incredible pleasure of not only dining at Carmen in Medellin, but meeting with Carmen the brilliant restaurateur herself. Stick with us as we delve into the beauty of Colombian food, culture, and hospitality... made all the more dynamic because of our experience at Carmen, with Carmen.

Restaurant Openings are a true labor of love (or maybe it's straight up masochistic behavior?). Regardless, it's something that will happen again and again... and there will always be something to treasure about birthing a new establishment, a new concept... join us as we revel in the trials and tribulations of restaurant inception. 

It might be just a tube in the sky, but why not still have a focal point of pride with the hospitality? This week, we delve into what's wow-ed us in terms of airline hospitality—everything from the "wow! there are multiple champagne options with real glassware!" to the "wow! these corn nuts expired 3 years ago but I guess I am grateful to be offered anything at all!" We hope you'll chime in with your stories, too!

Join us as we deep dive into the dishes we hold near and dear to our hearts... because they are prepared with a mother's love. Some may surprise, some might really hit home. Either way, it's a fun one! We love you, Moms!
