  • No more podcast?

    I listened for years and was trying to check back in but seems like the pod is gone? All the episodes are just simulcasts of a video show that doesn’t work for audio. That’s not what a podcast is. Stop falling for the pivot to video slop nonsense.

    Love the show, thank you! We’re owners of a small Spanish restaurant in Boston called Taberna de Haro. Just heard Dave saying that all Paris brasseries are overrated. Wanted to throw you one name to check out - when we were there last, a bartender at a hotel recommended Brasserie Flottes. It was fantastic, so much so that we went again on the same trip. Dick confit, the cheeeeesiest pommes purées, the onion soup, the cheese board, the service, the atmosphere, truly great. Check it out, and com... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Noodle Shop Shorts: TV is the New Books?
Q: What is the typical dance between restaurants and creators when it comes to comps and posts?
Restaurants often offer meals for free to invited creators, but creators must maintain editorial independence and cannot be forced to post in exchange for the meal. The guest explains they now prioritize venues they truly want to visit and post about only when it aligns with their genuine experience.
Noodle Shop Shorts: TV is the New Books?
Q: Are content creators offended by the word influencer now?

The discussion explores how language shapes perception and the tension between celebrity culture and authentic nerdiness around food.
Noodle Shop Shorts: Your Dad Will Be Mad Either Way
Q: How can you balance keeping your dad happy while pursuing a new concept?
The host suggests carving out a path within the family business or starting a separate venture while maintaining respect for the elder generation, acknowledging that some tension is natural but emphasizing collaboration and planning.
Noodle Shop Shorts: Your Dad Will Be Mad Either Way
Q: What are the things that you want to change?

Noodle Shop Shorts: Dave Tries to Guess a Patron's Job
Q: I'm going to ask you some questions, I'm going to figure out what you do. Okay. When did you move to LA, are you born and raised in LA?
