• Steak With Eric Wareheim and Gabe Ulla

  Today, Dave sits down with Eric Wareheim and Gabe Ulla, authors of the new book 'Steak House: The People, the Places, the Recipes'. Amongst friends, the discussion ranges from the magic of steakhouses to the ideal steakhouse order. The myriad types of potato sides are listed, the right way to order a martini is declared, and the idea of the steak dinner celebration as a descendant of the old-school hunt and sacrifice is posed. Dave also cooks a wet-aged and a dry-aged (or, at least, a little less wet-aged) steak for the cowriting duo.

• How We Consume Now With Alex Stupak

  Dave interviews someone as pessimistically optimistic as him today: Alex Stupak, chef and founder of Empellón. Dave and Alex talk about the dark arts of sandbagging (2:33), the end of "high/low" dining, and the history of food leading to today (6:28). They also discuss selling out, Alex's new social media presence, and the origin of ideas. Somehow, by the end of the podcast, these two "pessimists" end up hopeful for the future of the cooking world, even with AI imminent (1:27:49).
