Ligaya Mishan & Tejal Rao, The Modern Restaurant Critics Of The New York Times

Today’s guests are Ligaya Mishan and Tejal Rao, the co-chief restaurant critics at The New York Times. Ligaya is based in New York City, while Tejal is based in Los Angeles, and together they’re bringing a fresh perspective to one of the most influential roles in the food world. Ligaya and Tejal are also featured on Cherry Bombe’s 2026 Power List. Ligaya and Tejal join host Kerry Diamond to talk about their childhoods, the foods that shaped them, and how they each found their way to writing and restaurant criticism. They share how they’re approaching this new era of criticism—one that takes into account emerging audiences and cuisines, the end of anonymity, and the physical and emotional realities of eating for a living. They also discuss The New York Times’ 100 Best Restaurants in New York City list, why it’s always a conversation starter, and what it means to think about a list as a portrait of a city. Plus, Ligaya and Tejal talk about the Los Angeles restaurant scene, menu storytelling, the cities they’re excited about right now, and why restaurants still matter as spaces of hospitality, connection, and community.

Groundcycle Founder Vivian Lin Wants You To Compost For A Better World

During the pandemic, Vivian Lin was a sustainably-minded young architect living at home in New York City with her parents. She was working for a top international firm and decided to launch a compost company on the side. In just a few months, Vivian left her promising career behind and dedicated herself full-time to her fledgling business, Groundcycle. At the time, New York City had canceled compost collections. “I felt a sense of urgency,” she tells host Abena Anim-Somuah. “Everything was going to landfill.” Vivian shares the story of how Groundcycle has expanded to more of a closed-loop system. The company now picks up compost from residents, events, and small businesses including restaurants, coffee shops, and florists, and delivers vegetables from their farm partners. They also do food rescue, launched a zine called Seedlin, and hosted a zero-waste bake sale. Tune in to learn more about Vivian and Groundcycle. Don’t miss Vivian’s voicemail to her future self.
