S3 Ep 26: Why no one should ever open a restaurant w/ "Top Chef" Ilan Hall

from Put It In My Mouth · host lala & judith

This week, we have Chef & food personality Ilan Hall in the building. His food has been described as "confrontational" and "designed to alienate as many people as possible". So naturally, we had to have him on the pod.  Not only do we talk food but we play a ridiculous game of boyband "F$CK, MARRY KILL", why David Chang blocked him on IG, the MOST controversial episode of TOP CHEF in 22 seasons starring HIM and why NO ONE should ever open a restaurant EVER. Plus pop music and his take on the Kendrick/Drake beef. It's a spicy one.  @ilanhall  Mentions: @chef.dannygarcia @bravotopchef @chefsamtalbot @marcelvigneron @bbamars @meilin21 @bryanvoltaggio  @craft_newyork @tomcolicchio @casamonobarjamon @wolvesmouth @ideasinfood @hoodrich72 @ronniecwoo @bobbyflay @anovaculinary @sammic_official @mr_camron @guyfieri @chefjeremiahstone @davidchang @utopiabagels @mamas_too  Welcome to the irreverent & unfiltered world of PUT IT IN MY MOUTH, a podcast that fearlessly explores the underbelly of the hospitality industry.
