🎆 Happy Fourth from The LA Food Podcast! This week, we go stars over stripes as Michelin unveils its 2025 California Guide — and LA finally joins the 3-star club (shout out Somni and Providence). Father Sal joins Luca to break down the historic wins for Somni and Providence, and ask: has the Michelin Guide fundamentally changed LA dining since its 2019 return?
Plus: a deep dive into Chef Daniel Patterson’s new Jaca Social Club and what it reveals about his upcoming fine-dining project on West Third. In Chef’s Kiss Big Miss: Maido AKA best restaurant in the world, Noma’s LA residency, the “hot people food map,” Beli saves Gen Z, Jenn Harris on trompe l’oeil desserts, and Tejal Rao’s first review as the NYT’s new chief critic.
In Part 2, we preview Let It Rip — our brand new Bear companion podcast with the crew from Compliments to the Chef. Whether you’re watching Season 4 or not, it’s a podcast about food, friendship, and chaos in the kitchen.
