"Food disruptor", editor, host and James Beard winning author Matt Rodbard joins us in the studio and oh do we cover a ton of ground! From Los Angeles to NYC, we talk quintessential restaurants, supporting the middle aged restaurant, and how food culture differs in each city. Matt gives his opinion on why waiting in lines is fun (really?!), our shared love of SATC and a big discussion on whether our phones are killing serendipitous food discovery. Thanks for joining us, Taste Buds! Please leave a review!

Chef Sam Braverman is in the hot seat and does not hold back. Has having his steak frites go viral with millions of views helped or hurt the biz? Is "Selling Out" still a thing when a chef needs to make money? Why do we glorify toxic kitchen behavior under the ruse of "hard work" annnnnnnnd why he is determined to keep his food afforable and accessible. We get into it all on this episode.

It's new episode TUESDAY and we have spirits EXPERTS and the hosts of the Sauced Podcast with us! Sother Teague & Tim Mckirdy bless us with their presence & their opinions. And oh so many opinions....Olive Garden is a safe space from natural wine, Vodka is just water with consequences and maybe we should be drinking room temp martinis? Plus, a really ridiculous game. Get cozy, booze hounds.

If Crazy Town or Zima is nostalgic for you, you just might love this episode! Jena Derman and Jack Schramm are the artist/science duo behind the "couture" of jello shots, Solid Wiggles. When 2 friends with bartending and pastry chef backgrounds collide, you just might decide to put booze in your desserts and form a business (Go check them out, they are stunning) . We also get an impassioned speech about Midori and discuss their new book, out June 23rd!

We're back with Season 5, Taste Buds! Chef & restaurateur Eric Sze (886, WenWen) joins us for a brutally honest look at why owning a restaurant is an emotional nightmare. We discuss the industry's obsession with "authenticity" and his start operating an illegal food delivery service to make booze money. Eric also breaks down the corporate contradictions and downright icky feelings behind the massive new Michelin and Sysco partnership.

Nick and Nat, married couple owners of Anton's and Leon's in NYC are in the studio! We get deep into who wins when FOH and BOH have disagreements, the double edged sword of current social media in the food space, being in business together as a married couple AND we play a very marital bliss filled game of RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES. Who brings the restaurant home? Who really wears the pants? This and so much more, taste buds.

We've got hospitality ROYALTY on the pod today. Max Tucci belongs to the family lineage behind the first fine dining restaurant in the United States, Delmonico's. The restaurant that also happens to be older than the first flushable toilet in the White House! We yap with Max about his ancestors, belonging to a historic restaurant family, his "Ozempic menu" and how he banned a real housewife from coming to his restaurants. All this and a ridiculous game we made up called "Tacky or Tucci".

Brandon Hoy started Roberta's out of a ramshackle, cinder block warehouse and has created an empire. How did one idea become international locations, frozen pizza in grocery stores, slice shops and still his og location in Brooklyn thrives. We may or may not get bars from Brandon's alter ego, MC TODD during a game of "Six Pack or Diss Track". There's also the time Jay Z brought his own pepperoni to Roberta's. Also....how to scale a brand without dilution. Let's goooooooo!
