The New York Times released their list of the 100 Best Restaurants in New York City, and people are in their feelings about it. Arienne and Joe sit down to give their thoughts on the backlash, what they did and didn't like about the list, and why former Chef’s Cut guest Ligaya Mishan deserves some grace. In this episode, we also discuss:

• Budget restaurants vs. fine dining and how to properly compare them

• The biggest NYC restaurants that didn’t make the list (Gramercy Tavern, Per Se, etc.)

• Kabawa at number one and the ascent of afro-caribbean cuisine

• Some of their favorite NYC dining spots that you should try

• The inclusion of street food and a debate about what actually counts as a “real” restaurant

• Adrienne announces the newest podcast to join the Chef’s Cut family: Eating History (and our new season all about the history of pizza)
