Al and Rich anchor the show this week. But have no fear. Gemini is on board for the big centerpiece interview with Evan Glusman and Chef Joe Valdez. We also have an extended interview with former 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Chef Taylor Persh, discussing a very intense pop-up she's bringing to the Palms.

Other highlights include conversations with both Elizabeth Blau and Circa's O'Ceana Clemens, talking about a pair of events, past and future. And you'll hear about Al's recent meals at Bramare, Orla, The Durango pool, Nene Japanese, Boom Bang and La Madre Canyon Grill, and Rich's ongoing search for a Vegas style diner in Chicago.
