    Cooking as Art With Michael Cimarusti

    Dave talks about the new promotional poster for 'The Bear'—and its use of tongs. He then interviews his friend and the executive chef/owner of Providence, proclaimed by Dave as "one of the best restaurants in the world," Michael Cimarusti. They discuss why you have to touch your food while cooking, how to figure out the things you don't know, and the different schools of cooking. Chef Michael goes through his career path and its connections to some incredible culinary icons and asks Dave if he thinks cooking is an art or a craft. They finish with an Ask Dave about fish cookery.

    Food Criticism With Besha Rodell

    Dave and Chris opine on food criticism and what the ideal food critic would be like. They are then joined by Besha Rodell, the author of 'Hunger Like a Thirst' and a former anonymous food critic. She has an amazing résumé and gives insights into what it is really like to be a food reviewer. Besha, Dave, and Chris discuss food criticism as it has been and its platonic ideal: from honest reviews to what reviewers should be looking for when critiquing a restaurant.
