Chef Ryan Ratino on Michelin Stars, Muscle, and Leading with Grace

Why Everyone Wants a Table at Bungalow with Chef Vikas Khanna

Bungalow is the hardest reservation in New York. Here is why it feels like going home. There are restaurants, and then there is Bungalow. Your girl Nycci Nellis sat down with Chef Vikas Khanna, and within the first five minutes she understood why lines form down the block and why 10,000 people are on the wait list. This is not a story about a hot restaurant. It is a story about a man born with club feet in Amritsar, told he would never walk properly, who later arrived in the United States homeless, and built one of the most talked-about dining experiences in the country. The DC food podcast world does not get guests like this every week. If you care about the restaurant industry, about what it actually costs to carry a culture on your back into a dining room, this episode is for you. Chef Khanna does not cook to impress inspectors. He cooks to make people feel that their ancestors are honored. That shift, from chasing stars to chasing meaning, is the whole conversation. This is the Washington DC restaurant insider perspective on what Indian cuisine can be when it is finally set free. Chef Vikas Khanna is one of the first Indian chefs in America to earn a Michelin star, originally recognized for Junoon in 2011 and awarded eight consecutive years. Today he is chef and partner at Bungalow in New York City. He has authored more than 40 books, hosted MasterChef India for nearly two decades, directed films, spoken at the United Nations, and a leading voice on the hospitality industry podcast circuit, and through his Feed India initiative has provided more than 84 million meals to people in need. Episode keyword: Vikas Khanna chef New York City Indian restaurant Michelin star. Bungalow Is Personal: Chef Khanna opened Bungalow at 54 as a promise to his mother and late sister, to lift the entire water of Indian culture and cuisine in the world. Every dish, every floral arrangement on the glass ceiling, every drop of Ganga Jal placed outside the door at 4:30 is for her. A Menu of 16 Dishes, Quarter Million Recipes: Khanna has documented more than 250,000 recipes from across India. Bungalow runs only 16 dishes, rotates specials nightly without repeating, and is currently running 36 weeks of celebrating India, one state, one dish, one story per week. The Women Who Built Him: His grandmother was his first cooking teacher. His mother opened a banquet space with him at 16. His sister moved to the US with him in 2000 and fought for his freedom until she passed. A Muslim woman sheltered him during the Mumbai riots. The restaurant designer Sheila Rizvi and her daughter Maisha carry that feminine energy into Bungalow every night. Feed India: 84 Million Meals from a New York Apartment: When his mother called during the pandemic and said she would rather say her son tried and failed than never tried at all, Khanna launched Feed India. He converted 80 gas stations into food and healing stations for migrant workers walking home on Indian highways, and served quarter million meals at Haji Ali Dargah during Eid alone. Setting the Cuisine Free: Khanna wrote an op-ed for Time magazine arguing that civilizational cuisines cannot be measured through the small lens of Western restaurant standards. The New York Times review of Bungalow used the word freedom. He said that mattered more than any star he has ever received. Chef Vikas Khanna said, "The DNA of the restaurant itself is so broken that it came from such a place of darkness that the only way it could find its survival was through light." Host Nycci Nellis said, "Despite the accolades and the stars, the books, the films, and the global recognition, everything comes back to humility and humanity for you, whether you are feeding people or remembering them."

Chef Ryan Ratino on Michelin Stars, Muscle, and Leading with Grace

What does it actually take to run one of the most decorated restaurant groups in America and still have abs? Your girl Nycci Nellis is in sneakers today. No cocktail dress, no six-inch heels. We taped this one at Equinox Wisconsin Avenue at City Ridge, and honestly, it made perfect sense. Because this conversation with Michelin star chef Ryan Ratino started off about his new Georgetown restaurant Oxen Olive and ended up somewhere way more interesting: the discipline, the bloodwork, the cortisol spikes, the Bulgarian split squats he hates, and the moment he looked in the mirror at 30 years old and decided to treat his body like the high-performance machine it needs to be. This is a DC food podcast episode that goes somewhere most chef interview podcasts never go. It is not just about the food. It is about what it costs, physically and mentally, to lead over 200 people across multiple Michelin-starred restaurants and still show up every single day with clarity and intention. If you have ever wondered how the best in the hospitality industry actually sustain it, this one is for you. Ryan Ratino is the executive chef and owner of Hive Hospitality, home to one-Michelin-starred Bresca, two-Michelin-starred Jaunt, Michelin-starred Moss at the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale, Michelin-starred Omo by Jaunt in Winter Park, and his newest Georgetown concept Oxen Olive. He is the recipient of the Michelin Guide Young Chef Award and holds more Michelin stars than almost any chef in the country. Episode keyword: Ryan Ratino chef Washington DC Michelin star restaurant group. Key Takeaways The origin story is working class Ryan grew up in a union household in Ohio, helping his mother get dinner on the table fast. His mom was the one who saw cooking as a career before he did. He went to Le Cordon Bleu in Florida at 17 to get as far from home as possible, and knew within two months it was exactly right. He built Bresca first on purpose Ryan opened Bresca at 27 in the old Policy nightclub space on 14th Street, intentionally starting with upscale-but-approachable before launching two-Michelin-starred Jaunt upstairs. He wanted to earn the neighborhood's trust before asking them to celebrate there. The pandemic forced the health reckoning At 30 years old, 5-foot-9, and 206 pounds with 30 percent body fat, Ryan started Googling what healthy actually meant. He cycled through doctors until he found a specialist in Indianapolis who ran 400 biomarkers, identified barely-functioning adrenal glands, and built a protocol that finally let him fall asleep at night. He eats like an athlete, not a chef During a surplus phase: 300 grams of protein and up to 500 grams of carbs daily, including over a kilo of Japanese short-grain rice. He tastes everything at the restaurant and spits it out. He always eats protein before carbs to keep blood sugar flat. Sweet potatoes are his deficit-phase staple because they keep him full without the crash. Physical health changed how he leads Ryan says the cleaner his body feels, the more grace he brings to leading his team. He greets every single person when he arrives and thanks every single person at the end of the night. He believes you can be a strong leader and still respect your team, and that the health journey made that more consistent for him. Ryan Ratino said, "I think proud, but not satisfied. Proud of where I am, but knowing that at 20 I was probably even more crazy and driven than I am now." Host Nycci Nellis said, "What you are doing with your health is a full-time job. The working out 90 minutes a day, the diet, managing it. That is people's actual job. Where is the time for your other job?"

Loew Vineyards: Holocaust Survivor Legacy, Maryland Wine & Historic Meadmaking with Rachel Loew Lipman

A fifth-generation mead maker carries a Holocaust survivor's legacy forward, one bottle at a time. Some stories start in a vineyard. This one starts in 19th-century Poland, survives a concentration camp and a death march, and lands in a tasting room in Mount Airy, Maryland. Rachel Loew Lipman didn't just inherit a winery. She inherited a reason. And if you've ever wondered whether a bottle of wine can hold memory, grief, and joy all at once, this episode of Industry Night, the DC food and hospitality podcast, is your answer. Maryland wine gets overlooked. It shouldn't. Winemaking here dates to the 1600s, and today more than 100 wineries are producing everything from cab francs to Vidal Blancs. But what Rachel is doing at Loew Vineyards goes beyond the glass. She's a DC food and hospitality insider's dream guest: a young head winemaker running Maryland's fourth oldest existing winery, its first kosher winery and meadery, and one of the longest continuous mead-making traditions in the world. This is the DC dining guide and hospitality podcast conversation you didn't know you needed. Rachel Loew Lipman is a fifth-generation mead maker, granddaughter of Holocaust survivor William Loew, and the force behind Loew Vineyards in Frederick County, Maryland. Her family's mead-making roots trace to 1800s Poland. She holds degrees in plant science and communications from the University of Maryland, a winemaking certification from Washington State, and experience in France. In 2025, she launched Maryland's first Star K certified mead. Key Takeaways Mead nearly disappeared from history. Jews were the majority of Polish mead producers before World War II. When 90% of Poland's Jewish population was murdered in the Holocaust, mead essentially vanished from the market. Rachel is bringing it back. The 2025 frost devastated the Mid-Atlantic harvest. On April 20, stagnant air dropped to 23.5 degrees across the region, wiping out primary fruit on over 600 of Maryland's roughly 1,000 grape-growing acres. Loew Vineyards is not making wine this vintage year. Going kosher brought unexpected balance. Loew Vineyards is now Maryland's first and only kosher winery, operating under both a conservative Hechsher for grape wines and a Star K Orthodox certification for meads. The Shabbat restriction forced Rachel, a lifelong seven-day-a-week worker, to finally take a day off. Covid accelerated the Maryland wine boom. When travelers couldn't get to Napa or France, they explored their own backyards. Local wine club memberships surged. Rachel credits that shift, combined with generational farming knowledge, for the best Maryland wines she's ever seen coming out right now. The Wolf Cabernet Sauvignon is the family's most personal bottle. Named for her grandfather's birth name, the wine arrived by kismet. A grower called Rachel with extra Cabernet Sauvignon one month after her grandfather passed. She had never asked for it. She made it for him. "We want to turn wine into memory and connection, and that to me is more the juice being worth the squeeze than anything the market does." - Rachel Loew Lipman "What I love is that you respect the past while looking towards the future, and I just think that's beautiful." - Nycci Nellis, Industry Night Timestamps 00:00 Welcome to Industry Night at The Wharf, DC. 00:20 Introducing Maryland wine and why it matters. 01:21 Meet Rachel Loew Lipman, fifth-generation mead maker. 02:55 The family's mead-making roots in 19th-century Poland. 04:37 Civil rights, the Habsburg Empire, and the first licensed meadery. 05:17 What is mead, really? Polish mead vs. Viking mead. 06:02 How the Holocaust erased Polish mead from the market. 07:28 William Loew: Holocaust survivor, translator, electrical engineer, winemaker. 09:40 The haunting smell of fermenting mead and why he started a vineyard. 10:48 Tasting the Savi: a chenin blanc mead named for family memory. 13:44 Loew Vineyards founded in 1982 on 37 acres in Mount Airy, Maryland. 15:41 Rachel's path into winemaking, from the Bonanza Building to Washington State. 18:33 Joining the family business full time in 2018 and navigating Covid. 22:27 The April 2025 frost and what 23.5 degrees means for a harvest. 25:21 Can you cover the vines? The limits of frost protection. 28:15 What's planted now and the vineyard's revitalization. 30:34 The Mazal sparkling red: dry Lambrusco on steroids, made with carbonic Barbera. 33:31 Carbonic fermentation explained, and why almost no one on the East Coast does it. 35:50 Going kosher: the Agricultural Innovation Grant and the steam generator. 36:52 Why the demand for kosher products was impossible to ignore. 37:13 Two certifications: conservative Hechsher for wines, Star K Orthodox for meads. 41:12 First kosher harvest and the unexpected gift of Shabbat. 44:36 Is the juice worth the squeeze?

From 45,000 Miles on the Road to a Michelin Star: The Catbird Seat’s Tiffani Ortiz & Andy Doubrava

From the Road to the Restaurant: The Catbird Seat's Next Chapter Intro / About the Episode Host Nycci Nellis sits down with Chefs Tiffani Ortiz and Andy Doubrava — the husband-and-wife duo leading the newest era of Nashville's acclaimed tasting-menu restaurant, The Catbird Seat — to talk about life on the road, zero-waste cooking, regenerative agriculture, and what it really means to build a restaurant around your values. About the Guests Chefs Tiffani Ortiz and Andy Doubrava met at the French Culinary Institute in New York before eventually reconnecting on a Malibu farm — literally living in a teepee among wild parrots — where their shared passion for agriculture and sustainability took root. After years cooking in restaurants across Los Angeles, they left brick-and-mortar life behind to launch Slow Burn, a nomadic culinary project that took them through 42 states and more than 45,000 miles with two dogs, a Subaru, a cargo trailer, and a traveling larder. They now lead The Catbird Seat in Nashville, where their road-forged philosophy of fermentation, preservation, and zero-waste cooking shapes one of the country's most talked-about tasting-menu experiences. "We refuse to commit to one style. And I think that's kind of the beauty of Catbird Seat — the chefs are always rotating, just like our ideas and the produce and ingredients we use are always rotating." — Chef Tiffani Ortiz "It's leadership with high standards, but also a lot of empathy." — Chef Andy Doubrava "What fascinates me most is how personal this all is — the preservation, the use of every part of the ingredient, the way they balance high-level with playfulness." — Nycci Nellis The Catbird Seat: A Culinary Institution Reimagined Since opening in 2011, The Catbird Seat has operated as a kind of culinary incubator — a place known for rule-breaking, intimacy, and creative freedom, built around an iconic U-shaped counter. Under Ortiz and Doubrava, the restaurant has relocated to a striking new home in Nashville's Paseo South Gulch and entered a bold new chapter. The result: a Michelin star, a James Beard nomination for Outstanding Restaurant, a New York Times nod, and a reputation as one of the most exciting dining experiences in the country. The new space retains the signature counter (now with a few more seats) and adds a wine lounge that's unlocked new possibilities for larger celebrations and future programming. Slow Burn: 45,000 Miles and a Traveling Larder Before Nashville, there was the road. Ortiz and Doubrava spent years conceptualizing, then executing, a nomadic zero-waste restaurant they called Slow Burn — a pop-up project that brought them through 42 states, into farm kitchens, foraged forests, and restaurant residencies across North America and beyond. They drove with two dogs, preserved as they went, and cooked their way into some of the continent's best kitchens. The project was equal parts case study in sustainability and creative liberation — a way to study how food systems, waste challenges, and culinary cultures differed from region to region. Everything they learned is now embedded in the walls (and jars) of The Catbird Seat. Falling in Love on a Malibu Farm Their origin story sounds like a movie: two culinary school acquaintances who reconnected years later while volunteering on a Meyer lemon orchard tucked into the canyon off PCH — overlooking the ocean, sleeping in a teepee, surrounded by wild parrots. It was their first real hands-on agricultural experience, and it changed how both of them thought about food, sourcing, and responsibility. From there, they embarked on a two-month farm tour through the South and back to California, cooking for farmers, learning from homesteaders, and laying the philosophical groundwork that would eventually become Slow Burn — and then The Catbird Seat. The Tasting Menu: Comfort Food with a Twist Catbird's current menu runs 15 to 18 courses and changes constantly, rooted in Southeast ingredients — sassafras, spice bush, Tennessee-grown produce — with proteins sourced from trusted regional partners like Bear Creek Farms. The vibe, as Tiffani describes it, is comfort food on the palate with something distinctly weirder underneath: loud music, punky energy, and a menu that might feature a fancy chicken wing one night and mountains of caviar the next. A wall of preserved jars greets guests at the entrance — a living, breathing larder that traces back to Slow Burn days. Neither chef came from a tasting-menu background, and they consider that an asset. Running a Kitchen Together Working as life and creative partners in a high-pressure environment isn't always easy — and Ortiz and Doubrava are honest about it. They've learned to read each other's signals mid-service, pass Post-it notes around the kitchen ("extra spiel for position 33"), and step off the line when they need to realign. Andy's philosophy — just because it's urgent doesn't mean it's an emergency — has become a kind of operating principle for their team. Pre-shift rituals, collaborative Spotify queues, and a standing commitment to empathy alongside high standards have built a culture their cooks genuinely want to be part of. Quick Takes Music fueling prep right now: A collaborative Spotify queue — whoever gets in first starts a jam, and the whole team adds to it. It could go from emo to hip hop to metal in twenty minutes. Food trend they're completely over: Truffles as an afterthought — shaved on top of something already perfect, used as a VIP shortcut rather than as a real ingredient with intention. (Ironic note: there's currently a truffle dish on the menu.) How they communicate sustainability without being preachy: They drop 60-second dish spiels that naturally name the farm, describe the technique, and let guests fill in the gaps. If someone wants to go deeper, they're right there. If not, the food speaks for itself. On accolades: The Michelin star and James Beard nomination matter most for what they do for the team — giving cooks the résumé and freedom to choose their own next steps.

DAVID NAYFELD HAS THE ANSWER TO, DAD? WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

Host Nycci Nellis talks with Chef David Nayfield — James Beard semifinalist, founder of Che Fico, and author of Dad, What's for Dinner? — about fatherhood, kitchen intensity, Jewish-Italian cuisine, and the family meals that turn dinner into a team effort. About the Guest Chef David Nayfield trained at Aqua, Joel Robuchon, and Eleven Madison Park before returning to San Francisco to build Back Home Hospitality — home to Che Fico, Bubola, and Via Aurelia. "Don't be a martyr. Don't be the one dying at the stove washing everything, cooking everything yourself. Get everyone involved. Make it a team sport — and you'll connect with the people you love the most."Chef David Nayfield "What I love about David is that he can talk about Michelin-level precision and a weeknight chicken nugget with the same seriousness. That tells you everything about who he is." - Nycci Nellis The Book: Dad, What's for Dinner? Dad, What's for Dinner? is built around real parenting moments — meltdowns, weeknights, celebrations — with a simple philosophy: cook with your kids, not just for them. Nayfield wrote much of it during a custody dispute, turning limited time with his daughter into intentional kitchen rituals. The book argues that a meal does not have to be perfect to matter. Hand a child a spoon, share a task, and dinner becomes something you make together. From Picky Eater to World-Class Chef Nayfield was born in the United States to Jewish refugees from Belarus who traveled through Rome before settling in California. As a kid, he rejected the heavy dishes of his heritage and gravitated toward the food in his friends' homes. The turning point came when a relative's American boyfriend made fried chicken from scratch. Nayfield realized great food could happen at home, in ordinary life, and still feel revelatory. "I thought you had to go to a restaurant to eat food that you liked. And then someone made it at home — and I was like, this is incredible. How did that happen?" - Chef David Nayfield That early curiosity became a career defined by rigor, curiosity, and the search for his own voice. The Year in Europe After leaving Eleven Madison Park, Nayfield staged across Europe at Mirazur, with a chocolatier in Paris, in Barcelona, and in Swiss Michelin kitchens. By the end, he realized the food he was making still looked too much like someone else’s. The breakthrough came when he admitted how consistently he was drawn back to Italian food — and a trip to Rome’s Jewish ghetto clarified why. Jewish-Italian Cuisine and Che Fico In Rome’s Jewish ghetto, Nayfield encountered cucina ebraica — artichokes fried in olive oil, dishes shaped by necessity, and flavors woven into everyday Italian cooking. At Che Fico, he marked dishes with Jewish stars to honor those roots, from carciofi alla giudia to ribollita and suppli al telefono. For him, the point is honesty: show the lineage clearly and respectfully. On Kitchen Intensity Nayfield has lived through the worst of kitchen culture, and he separates discipline from abuse. Intensity, urgency, and focus can build excellence; humiliation and harm cannot be excused as part of the job. "If your ambition is a Michelin star, it is going to take grit that only comes from years in environments where people put the product in front of comfort." - Chef David Nayfield His argument is simple: ambition and environment have to match, and the choice to enter that world should be conscious. Via Aurelia: Fine Dining on His Own Terms Nayfield's newest restaurant, Via Aurelia, is modern Tuscan by design — a framework rooted in Tuscany’s history, coastline, Jewish communities, and ingredient evolution. It offers tasting menu and à la carte service, with hand-painted plateware, ceramic lighting, and art from local artists. It is fine dining, but on his own terms: beautiful, technical, and collaborative rather than precious. "We are participating as one of the artists. The goal is to take something and turn it into something beautiful — not just to procure incredible product and step back." - Chef David Nayfield Quick Takes Most underrated pantry ingredient: Oil-cured anchovies. Put them in anything. They dissolve into a dish and add a depth most people can't quite identify but always want more of. Ideal Sunday supper: Ribeye on the grill, Jimmy Nardello peppers and summer squash alongside, maybe a baked sweet potato. Simple, seasonal, no agenda. What home cooks overcomplicate: Measuring everything that isn't baking. Stop worrying if your onion is large or medium. Cut it up and throw it in. Taste as you go. Don't fear salt. Don't fear acid. That's what makes restaurant food taste like restaurant food. Where to Find Chef Nayfield Follow Chef Nayfield at @davidnayfield and the restaurants at @chefico, @viaaurelia, and @bubola.
