This week on Taste Matters, Mitchell Davis is joined by William Drew, editor of Restaurant Magazine, the publication that organizes the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. Tune in to learn more about how polling works and what the list means for restaurants lucky enough to appear on it. Hear why William thinks taste and flavor is once again rising above novelties, gimmicks and experience in restaurants. This program was sponsored by Whole Foods Market.
"Being on the list is an affirmation rather than an end goal. The reality is that it's an extremely effective business tool. As soon as a restaurant gets on the list, it always means it will now be full starting the next day."
"Perhaps in recent years [taste and flavor] has been overtaken by worthiness or providence of where the food is coming from, or trickery and theater. Those things are important and can play a role, but it seems taste and flavors are back at the top of the agenda for chefs and restaurants and that's where it should be."
--William Drew, editor of Restaurant Magazine on Taste Matters

On this week's episode of Burning Down the House, host Curtis B. Wayne is joined by Elizabeth Heider, one of the chair members of the U.S. Green Building Council. Elizabeth is a "recovering architect" involved with the USGBC's LEED certification program. Hear about the LEED certification, and how it serves as a framework for architects and designers looking to green the built environment. Elizabeth and Curtis also discuss energy-efficient decisions in their respective homes, and the importance of lighting in the comfort of a space. LEED certification is controversial in some architectural circles; tune in to hear clips from past episodes opposing LEED certification, as well as Elizabeth's responses. This program has been brought to you by Fairway Market.
"LEED is not just a checklist; it's a way to communicate with one another, to communicate with clients, architects, the construction industry...it really is a tool. I like to think that it's a great way to see if you're on course, but the real objective is good architecture."
"The greenest square foot is the square foot that you don't have to build."
-- Elizabeth Heider on Burning Down the House
