James Beard Award-winning writer Brett Martin<\/a> checks in from New Orleans. We talk about his brand-new Best New Restaurants In America<\/a> feature in GQ<\/em>, how the world’s changed since he finished this annual tour and how this edition helps celebrate restaurants both for what they are and what they do. We get into his last great meal, the communal & celebratory spirit of New Orleans, the way he misses all the things he used to gripe about (travel, hotel rooms, etc.), the uncertain future of our alma mater, Hampshire College, my envy at what a fantastic writer he is, why he’s not bingeing prestige TV despite writing a book<\/a> on it, his regular Meal of Bretts at Crescent City Steakhouse, and more! Give it a listen!<\/a> And go read Brett’s Best New Restaurants In America<\/a> GQ feature and his book, Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution, From The Sopranos and The Wire to Mad Men and Breaking Bad<\/a>!<\/p>\n

You can listen to all these COVID Check-In episodes at The COVID-19 Sessions<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
