During our episode, Jeff shares his thoughts on:

3) How his impassioned article on the Trump Administration galvanized the restaurant community
4) Why diversity has always been important to his coverage and even more so now
5) How hospitality thought leaders can have their voices showcased in Esquire
6) How his book, “Hungry,” became a time capsule of a bygone era of trailblazing, high-wire gastronomy
7) How his lovely wife, Lauren Fonda, convinced him to get on Instagram
8) Why social media is deepening his understanding of ideas
Jeff also answers a listener question from Mike Kennedy of Olmsted and Maison Yaki in Brooklyn on how he is managing Esquire's 2020 Best New Restaurants list, despite the current limitations on travel and indoor dining.
