    S4 Ep 37: Ben Hopkins-Prager

    Ben Hokins-Prager is one of the most important industry folk behind the bar in NYC and they join us in the sass seat for a very bitchy episode. We run through our Season 2 "I  DON'T F%CK WITH THAT" answers from ourselves and our guests. We also pick Ben's "neuro spicy brain" on cocktail trends they want to die, how a cocktail should be a self containing universe and their hatred of off season decor. Grab the milk, Taste Buds, we got a buncha spicy takes.  Mentions: @benhopkinsbenhopkins @twinkletongue @pdtnyc @monkeythiefbar @dukesliquorbox @cookingissues @barcontranyc @drinkveso @tarbyparty @dan_the_a @carnemare @mozzy_sticks_87 @themulberrybar @hilotnyc @agiscounter @theclementebar @taqueria_ramirez_ @accidentalbar @withapower @abcbeerco @longislandbar @spikethechef @preshiftnyc @julitapplebum @brotherdante @keenssteakhouse @kikis_nyc @createdbycody @readingbarbooks @dadpunkvibes @thaidiner @pawkhrua @internationalbarnyc @libby.winters @bigbarnewyork @vinniesbrooklyn @thegrillny @smithereensnyc @nikitajarred @rosellasushi Welcome to the irreverent & unfiltered world of PUT IT IN MY MOUTH, a podcast that fearlessly explores the underbelly of the hospitality industry.

    S4 Ep 35: Restaurateur Alexandra Shapiro

    Today, we get to hang with passionate NYC restaurateur Alexandra Shapiro who grew up in a family steeped in the restaurant industry & childhood, food driven roadtrips were the norm. We discuss how the fates aligned for her to revive her family's restaurant from the 70s, dive into her thoughts on the current landscape of dining and why 'hype"often overshadows approachability.  She gets real on the vulnerability of having to close a restaurant, why "nostalgia menus" can feel hokey and how chasing trends doesn't lead to longevity. Hang out with us for an hour to hear all of this wisdom, a few hot takes and why sometimes a teeny tini is the perfect drink.  Mentions: @flexmussels @hoexters  @rafsnewyork @carnemare @keenssteakhouse @katzsdeli @jgmelon_nyc @lindustriebk @apollobagels @leonsnyc @berniesnyc @leveaudor Welcome to the irreverent & unfiltered world of PUT IT IN MY MOUTH, a podcast that fearlessly explores the underbelly of the hospitality industry.

    S4 Ep 33: Chef Eric Huang

    This episode, we are joined by Chef Eric Huang of Pecking House. A chef whose resume includes the TOP tier of NYC dining, a 10,000 person wait list level hype & the rare distinction of being expelled from Julliard before finding his real life instrument ( a chef's knife ;) We discuss toxic kitchen culture & actual heart damage from working in the WORLD'S BEST RESTAURANT, the brutal vulnerabilty of opening AND closing restaurants & what it means to cook Chinese food in America when race, expectation and economics are always on the plate. All this and a blind fried chicken tasting. It gets SPICY, taste buds.  Mentions: @eric.p.huang @pecking_house @resyguynyc @latetedorbydaniel @thegrillny @goldenhofny @pearleastmanhasset @danielboulud @gavinkaysen @gramercytavern @elevenmadisonpark @seanalexgray @ceres.nyc @havandmar @hainanchickenhouse @chinupbarnyc @thewingbar @primefooddistributor @doublerranchbeef Welcome to the irreverent & unfiltered world of PUT IT IN MY MOUTH, a podcast that fearlessly explores the underbelly of the hospitality industry.

    S4 Ep 32: Drew Nieporent

    We are BACK, Taste Buds! We know you missed us.  Today, we have hospitality titan, Michelin Star collector and the DADDY of Myriad Restaurant Group, Drew Nieporent. His new memoir is out and in it, he spills proverbial tea, but we got him to dish with us a bit more. The BREW with Drew anyone?! What chef has the biggest ego, what restaurant does he wish was his, IS he feuding with Keith McNally? ALL this, while slagging Daniel Boulud, his favorite Beatles song and admitting he sneaks booze into restaurants. Holy hell, it's a good one. @drewnieporent Welcome to the irreverent & unfiltered world of PUT IT IN MY MOUTH, a podcast that fearlessly explores the underbelly of the hospitality industry.

Truly a neighborhood institution after 30 years, we talk to Bea & Julio about what keeps them going, their committment the farmer's market, Julio's dislike of the word "hospitality", the importance of community & connection and why you are coming for the "grumpy service" and "terrible food".
