MENGENAI EPISOD INI
This week on the LA Food Podcast, Luca and Father Sal dig into the new North America’s 50 Best Restaurants list and what it says about the state of dining in Los Angeles, New York, Canada, New Orleans and beyond. LA landed four restaurants on the 2026 list — Holbox, Providence, Somni and Kato — while major Bay Area names fell off, raising the question of whether Los Angeles has fully closed the gap as California’s most exciting fine dining city.
Before that, Luca shares the launch of Pizza Run Club, his pizza-fueled marathon fundraiser for Soccer Without Borders, and the guys trade recent eats from Anna Pizzeria, Etra, La Burg, Bridgetown Roti, La Coupe and Pasjoli. Then, in Chef’s Kiss / Big Miss, they debate Pizzeria Sei being named one of the best pizzerias in America, Dudley Market’s seafood controversy, Connie & Ted’s closing, Eric Greenspan’s deli comeback at Mish, restaurants becoming a political issue in LA, and whether even the Baklava Guy can make Sal feel anything positive about the Knicks.
