This is a Vintage Selection from 2007

The Banter

The Guys discuss the virtues of boiling water and wine, the former being necessary at times and the latter being appalling. Hear about Mark’s brush with the great Julia Child. 

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys welcome highly acclaimed Chef Eric Ripert to the show to talk about all things fish–acquiring, preparing, pairing with wine and serving to guests. They touch on new culinary trends and the benefits of comfort food (if you call roasted chicken with truffles “comfort food.”) 

The Inside Track

The Guys have dined at Le Bernardin several times and confess that they recently canceled a reservation….but they are going to return.
