This is a Vintage Episode from 2006
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys discuss the much-anticipated arrival of the Michelin Guide in New York City, marking the first time the prestigious guide has reviewed restaurants in the United States. They delve into the significance of Michelin stars and the impact of receiving Michelin stars on restaurants in terms of recognition and business. They highlight some of the newly starred restaurants in New York, such as Per Se, Jean-Georges, and Le Bernardin, and comment on notable inclusions and exclusions. Then, inexplicably, they move on to allergies and fruitcake.
The Inside Track
The Guys talk about fruitcake manufacturers petitioning the FDA to reduce a serving of fruit cake from 4.4 oz to 1.5 oz to keep the calories per serving low.
“And so what I would like to say to these fruitcake manufacturers as a result of this petition, we're saying on the air that fruitcake is not only bad, it's bad for you,”Francis Schott on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2006
