Listen in: a (continued) reservations hot take; a new startup for booking tables and a big job opening at the San Francisco Chronicle
A new episode of Restaurant Week from Expedite and Family Meal
Kristen (Expedite) and Andrew (Family Meal) reprise their brief but successful Clubhouse run with an audio experiment.
Once, in an interview about my work, someone asked me: “Did you and Andrew from Family Meal just look at each other and say, ‘We have the two most relevant restaurant newsletters, let’s do a podcast?’” And, reader/listener, that is fact.
This week, we talk more about the current state of restaurant reservations and why it’s the wrong time to call a winner [2:03], and I talk about Tablz, a new booking upstart that thinks about reservations a little differently [7:10]. Then, Andrew talks about San Francisco Chronicle critic Soleil Ho’s announcement that they’re leaving their restaurant criticism role for the paper’s opinion desk [15:15].
