Gone

11 minutes ago ep. 873 feat. Paul Needham 01:16:15

Paul Needham is CEO of The Infatuation. We chat with him from his office in New York about unhoused Kevin Spacey, Chris's newsletter about Substack, TJ saw Robyn last night, British Politics, we rank all the new markets trying to be Erewhon, the psychology of waiting in line for things, his In N Out order, Iced matcha add banana pudding, elevated small luxuries, why Ojai? Restaurants that "release 12 burgers a night," The River Cafe and Bar Pitti, should restaurants have a phone number in 2025? Chris won't buy a flight on his phone, the current bagel wars, and we go through some of The Infatuation's top restaurants of the year.
