Episode 14: Andrew Friedman

Andrew Friedman is a celebrated author and podcaster known for his deep explorations of the people and stories that shape the food world. With a background in literature and training from the French Culinary Institute, he has spent over two decades chronicling chefs, restaurants, and culinary culture. His breakthrough book, "Chefs, Drugs, and Rock & Roll," traces the rise of the American chef in the 1970s and ’80s, and his most recent work, "The Dish," follows the lives and labor behind a single plate of food. He also hosts "Andrew Talks to Chefs," a podcast featuring conversations with some of the most influential voices in the industry.

In our conversation we talked about his origins in the food world, his experiences hanging out with chefs, how that led to the writing of his first book, the rise of food trends and how he met the late Tony Bourdain and the influence he had on his career.
