Tom Colicchio is a longtime chef who has operated some of America’s iconic restaurants, including Craft, Gramercy Tavern, and dozens more. He’s also the head judge on the show Top Chef. We welcomed Tom back to the studio to talk about the current restaurant landscape as well as the release of <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/29966/think-like-a-chef-25th-anniversary-edition-by-tom-colicchio/">Think Like a Chef</a>, the 25th anniversary edition of his debut cookbook. The book is a classic and so worth reading today. Tom talks about his technique and the mistakes home cooks often make that are easily fixable.
And before that, we have a great conversation with Johanna Hellrigl. She is the chef-owner of <a href="https://resy.com/cities/washington-dc/venues/ama-dc?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadxwjxPWgDCwC3N_3_7YJRYySzMURNgwoXJP6QU1pux4ESH8NI3Ma_HxXrETw_aem_2X_QCrnVqzuzteC3Aaz1xw&date=2025-11-04&seats=2">Ama</a> in Washington, DC. Ama is a special restaurant with exceptional Northern Italian cooking and a mission to further sustainability practices in a living, breathing restaurant. Johanna completes the <a href="https://blog.resy.com/category/resy-questionnaire/">Resy Questionnaire</a> as part of a memorable conversation.
