Hi and welcome to a brand new podcast from two restaurant industry newsletter writers, Andrew Genung (Family Meal) and Kristen Hawley (Expedite).

Andrew is fresh off a 16-course dinner and we’re talking about which chef might be behind the new RH restaurants (all pure speculation) [2:38]. I talk through this week’s newsletter — my most popular to date — about DoorDash’s pilot reservations program [8:30]. Also: Nina Compton’s NFT members club in New Orleans that sounds pretty cool [18:47], and chef Alon Shaya’s forthcoming Las Vegas restaurant — complete with waterfall. [23:30]
