He’s also the head judge on the show <em>Top Chef</em>. We welcomed Tom back to the studio to talk about the current restaurant landscape as well as the release of <a href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/29966/think-like-a-chef-25th-anniversary-edition-by-tom-colicchio/\"><em>Think Like a Chef</em></a><em>,</em> the 25th anniversary edition of his debut cookbook. The book is a classic and so worth reading today. Tom talks about his technique and the mistakes home cooks often make that are easily fixable.</p>\n<p>And before that, we have a great conversation with <strong>Johanna Hellrigl</strong>. She is the chef-owner of <a href=\"https://resy.com/cities/washington-dc/venues/ama-dc?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadxwjxPWgDCwC3N_3_7YJRYySzMURNgwoXJP6QU1pux4ESH8NI3Ma_HxXrETw_aem_2X_QCrnVqzuzteC3Aaz1xw&amp;date=2025-11-04&amp;seats=2\">Ama</a> in Washington, DC. Ama is a special restaurant with exceptional Northern Italian cooking and a mission to further sustainability practices in a living, breathing restaurant. Johanna completes the <a href=\"https://blog.resy.com/category/resy-questionnaire/\">Resy Questionnaire</a> as part of a memorable conversation.</p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers – not of Resy—and do not constitute professional advice.</em> </p><p> </p>","author_name":"Matt Rodbard & Aliza Abarbanel"}
