About this episode
The Banter The Guys discuss the role of the bartender. With great power comes great responsibility…and some amusing stories. The Conversation The Restaurant Guys talk with Kim Severson of the New York Times about her recent assessment of The Joy of Cooking in its past and present iterations. They go on to discuss a novel product: Brooklyn-Style pizza. Find out what the heck that is! The Inside Track The Guys welcome Kim Severson on her first of many appearances on The Restaurant Guys. They enjoy her articles and “steal” her topics for the show. This is what she said about her experience with the classic cookbook The Joy of Cooking . “The thing that I think is enduring about The Joy of Cooking is it has all kinds of things in it. It can tell you how to purify water and how to make a gimlet, both of which are valuable in cases of emergency,” Kim Severson on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2007 Bio Kim Severson is a national food correspondent for the New York Times .
