The Banter

The Guys discuss new trends in desserts as Francis nurses his sugar hangover.

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys hear the tale of Steven Rinella’s experience spending a year collecting wild game to create a 45 course meal from Chef Auguste Escoffier’s book Le Guide Culinaire. From turtles to elk to blue trout, don’t miss this epic adventure! (You won’t believe what he went through to acquire squab.)

The Inside Track

The Guys were fascinated by Steven Rinella’s determination to cook obscure dishes from Escoffier and were eager to speak with him. 

“You just kind of get a sense that you want the world to be sort of as big and as beautiful as it can be. And that sense for me comes very much just from being around animals and seeing animals and having  the occasion  to eat them,” Steven Rinella on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2006
