William Drew, 50 Best

Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to celebrate the industry; Speed Round; Industry News Discussion on the first-ever ranking of The World's 50 Best Hotels taking place in London in September 2023, and recently released annual list of The 50 Best Bars in North America; plus, Shari's Solo Dining experience flashback to 2013 at Andoni Luis Aduriz's Mugaritz in San Sebastian, Spain (recipient of the Icon Award 2023/ 50 Best, and featured chef in Chefwise); and the final question. ** Check out Shari's new book, Chefwise: Life Lessons from Leading Chefs Around the World (Phaidon, Spring 2023), now available at Phaidon.com, Amazon.com and wherever books are sold! #chefwisebook **Photo Courtesy of Shari Bayer.Listen at Heritage Radio Network; subscribe/rate/review our show at iTunes, Stitcher or Spotify.
