Al and Gemini take the podcast sky-high this week, recording at the Chef's Table in Rivea by Alain Ducasse, which is located at the top of the W hotel. They're there to speak to MGM resorts International's Chef Justin Fredericksen about the entire MGM culinary team being honored at the upcoming Chefs For Kids gala. But while they were in the restaurant, they chatted with Rivea GM Mark Thomas, and enjoyed an incredible feast prepared by Rivera's executive chef, Winnie Wong.

Also: an interview with Sean Griffin of Bellagio's Prime Steakhouse discussing the recent renovations at the restaurant. And Brezza's Chef Nicole Brisson explains her upcoming pop-up collaboration with Pasta Ramen. There are restaurant reports on Sparrow + Wolf, Stubborn Seed, Bar Boheme, Bourbon Steak and Chica, among others. And just to keep it real, we have news on Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse and Arizona Charlie's, as well as Giada.
