Let’s be honest, Richie pissed in a lot of peoples cheerios when he started with his blog and using social media to voice his often controversial comments about restaurants, critics & just bad restaurant behavior whether it was guests or chefs he had a no holds bar approach. Now Richie is older and wiser and has a lot to offer the next generation and the restaurant industry as a whole.

When I arrived in San Francisco in 1996 Rubicon was a dream opportunity that fell into my lap, by chance of a friend from culinary school, I started on hot apps and she scared the daylights out of me. Thank you for being a friend a mentor and a kick ass chef who can cook like no ones business.

In this episode I am so excited to talk with my friend Kim Alter. She is a culinary force to watch and more over a great friend and an amazing human. Night bird is a beautiful restaurant that is a true taste of all what is near and dear to Kim’s heart.
