In our eighth episode airing on International Podcast Day, we chat with Bao Ong, Food and Drink Editor, Time Out New York.
Tune in to hear Bao share his thoughts on:
1) How his start as a newspaper reporter and culinary education enriched his food writing
2) How he finds off-the-beaten-path restaurants and food businesses to cover
3) Why he thinks independent restaurants are spearheading New York City’s dining revival
4) What are some Do’s and Don’ts for getting his attention when pitching
5) How private dining rooms may soon be in demand as restaurant guests seek out socially-distanced indoor settings
6) How Time Out New York is grappling with its “Best of” roundups
7) How restaurants and bars are continuing to open in New York City and why they remain a key priority of his coverage
8) Why accompanying photos are a critical part of any pitch
Bao also addresses a listener question from Ed Schoenfeld, co-owner of RedFarm and Decoy in New York City and Chinese culinary authority with 50 years of experience, on the future of the city’s restaurants post-pandemic.
