Gael Greene is Insatiable!

The Restaurant Guys

The Banter

The Guys talk about the chef trend to put inedible items on the plate. Spoiler: it’s not a good idea.

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys are thrilled to meet Gael Greene, restaurant journalist and bon vivant! She coined the term “foodie.” Gael shares some of the details from 32 years as a food writer and beyond (including a few famous lovers).

The Inside Track

The Guys didn’t know Gael before this show, but they got along so well they ended up dining out with her! Like them, she never wants the party to stop.

“ I firmly believe that on my deathbed I will still be doing this and my last words will be, ‘Bring on dessert’,” Gael Greene on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2006
