About this episode

Ruth Reichl reviewed restaurants for the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times , ran the country’s most legendary food magazine, and wrote five memoirs about all the meals enjoyed and life lived. Today she’s doing it again on her wonderful Substack, La Briffe , unfiltered and endlessly curious. Recorded live at the Traverse City Food & Wine festival, Matt talks with Ruth about her University of Michigan years, her passion for memoir, and her take on where food criticism stands today. Also on the show, I have a great conversation with Martin Sorge , author of the terrific new book Great Bakes . Read Ruth’s savage New York Times review of the Box Tree restaurant from 1998.
