As we kick off the new year, host David Manilow looks forward to some of the exciting new restaurant openings. We welcome Crain’s reporters Ally Marotti and Jack Grieve to "The Table" to hear what'll be trending on the dining scene in 2025 and break down the impact as the local tipped minimum wage begins to be phased out. We'll also predict what’s ahead on season 4 of FX’s “The Bear” when it premieres in July.

Plus, Marotti and Grieve share the food scene story that surprised them most over the past year — and how it’s evolving today.
