This episode, we are joined by Chef Eric Huang of Peking House. A chef whose resume includes the TOP tier of NYC dining, a 10,000 person wait list level hype & the rare distinction of being expelled from Julliard before finding his real life instrument ( a chef's knife ;) We discuss toxic kitchen culture & actual heart damage from working in the WORLD'S BEST RESTAURANT, the brutal vulnerabilty of opening AND closing restaurants & what it means to cook Chinese food in America when race, expectation and economics are always on the plate. All this and a blind fried chicken tasting. It gets SPICY, taste buds.

We are BACK, Taste Buds! We know you missed us. Today, we have hospitality titan, Michelin Star collector and the DADDY of Myriad Restaurant Group, Drew Nieporent. His new memoir is out and in it, he spills proverbial tea, but we got him to dish with us a bit more. The BREW with Drew anyone?! What chef has the biggest ego, what restaurant does he wish was his, IS he feuding with Keith McNally? ALL this, while slagging Daniel Boulud, his favorite Beatles song and admitting he sneaks booze into restaurants. Holy hell, it's a good one. @drewnieporent

A very special bonus episode and last of Season 3! Bea & Julio, the beautiful duo behind our favorite neighborhood spot, Il Posto Accanto join us. We discuss their soon to be released film, SUNDAY AT IL POSTO ACCANTO, a love letter to the neighborhood and hospitality industry. The director and writer Seth Zvi Rosenfeld also joins us to share his vision during what was a very uncertain time in 2021 when the project was filmed. Truly a neighborhood institution after 30 years, we talk to Bea & Julio about what keeps them going, their committment the farmer's market, Julio's dislike of the word "hospitality", the importance of community & connection and why you are coming for the "grumpy service" and "terrible food". Find out what your should be putting in your mouth at this gem of a restaurant and find out how/when to watch the film! @ilpostoaccanto
