• 693: Rome's Real Deal and Cracking Carbonara's Code with Katie Parla

  There is no food writer we would rather talk to about Italy—and maybe about food in general—than Katie Parla. Katie is the author of several books, and her latest is a return to her hometown of Rome. Rome: A Culinary History, Cookbook, and Field Guide to the Flavors that Built a City captures the history and modern culinary spirit of one of the world’s greatest cities. In this episode, we speak with Katie about her independent book publishing business, the current tourist vibes of Italy, and what makes Rome such a special place. And, at the top of the show, it’s the return of Three Things, where Aliza and Matt talk about what is exciting them in the world of restaurants, cookbooks, and the food world as a whole.

• 692: What Breaking 2 Million on Social Really Feels Like with Hannah Taylor

  Hannah Taylor is the fast-growing culinary creator known on TikTok and Instagram as LilyLouTay. She is the author of the New York Times Best Seller Measure with Your Heart, and she joins us in the studio with a really fun conversation about her Southern cooking roots and her journey from being a working mother of three to a social media megastar.   Also on the show, Mina Park and Kwang Uh of Baroo in Los Angeles take the Resy Questionnaire. It’s impossible to overstate the devotion fans have to this restaurant, whether the strip-mall original, the pop-up, and even for the two long years Baroo didn’t exist. This latest iteration is a rebirth of Kwang and Mina’s vision of fermentation-driven Korean cuisine. But first, the questions.  The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers – not of Resy—and do not constitute professional advice. Learn more about your ad choices.
