In this episode we're exploring the fascinating world of the MICHELIN Guide, from its humble beginnings as a tire company’s travel booklet to the gold standard of global dining.
We break down how the MICHELIN Star system really works:
⭐️ What inspectors look for when awarding stars
⭐️ How restaurants can earn, maintain, or even lose their MICHELIN status
⭐️ The secretive process behind these coveted ratings
Plus, you’ll hear about some of the most iconic three-star MICHELIN restaurants across the globe, from Spain to Japan to California, and what makes each one truly extraordinary.
John also takes us into the story of Beaujolais Nouveau (because it releases this week!), the French wine that celebrates freshness, community, and timing unlike any other—tying together the worlds of food, wine, and travel.
Whether you’re a food lover, wine enthusiast, or passionate traveler, this episode is your insider guide to the intersection of fine dining, culture, and culinary history.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
