Dish & Dining Ep. 4 (04/19/26)

Luckey and Joe discuss the sudden closing of one of Dallas' most beloved chocolatiers Kate Weiser Chocolate, before pivoting to a discussion of whether you can trust Google reviews following an exposé by D Magazine that exposed restaurants that coerce five-star reviews. Chef Taco Borga (La Duni, Joe's business partner) then joins where he shares his philosophy on the perfect carne asada, kitchen consistency, the community feel of his intimate café on Irving Boulevard, and his worldly culinary inspiration rooted in Venezuelan and Parisian food memories. The Entrée features Dallas legend Harris Polokoff of Pogo's Wine & Spirits (est. 1987), covering spring wine trends, tequila's dominance, the impact of Ozempic on alcohol consumption, and how celebrity liquor brands are losing their shine. The show closes with a discussion of AI's growing role in restaurant operations, from custom GPTs for staff training to robots on the floor, and a follow- up on the KitKat heist: armed guards are now escorting the trucks!
