He opens up about his time at Eataly, the importance of management in the kitchen, the impact of the pandemic on his plans, and how he built new ventures such as Terpsi Hospitality and Bellita Pasta in Miami. Throughout the conversation, Christos emphasizes the role of family, simplicity, and Greek culture in his life and his food.
The episode wraps up with a fun rapid fire session where Christos shares his favorite places to visit in Greece, his go-to traditional dishes, thoughts on Greek coffee culture, and even his signature dish.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
