Today’s LA Food Podcast is a first — our debut three-part episode. First up, host Luca Servodio breaks down the week’s biggest food stories, from Eleven Madison Park’s bold new pivot to Bill Addison’s glowing RVR review and how Ozempic is reshaping restaurant menus. He also sings the praises of recent meals at Budonoki, Lasita and Teddy’s Red Tacos. Then, LA Chef Con founder Brad Metzger joins us to preview the October 6 event at Redbird and Vibiana, bringing together the city’s top chefs and industry leaders. Finally, our headliner: Michael Voltaggio, the Top Chef season 6 winner, bad boy of molecular gastronomy, and creative force behind restaurants like ink. and The Bazaar. We revisit his groundbreaking career, unpack how the 2010s put LA fine dining on the global map, and explore why he’s still relentlessly pushing culinary boundaries.The LA Food Podcast is powered by Acquired Taste Media.
