[Podcast] The Restaurant Guys | “Anthony Giglio: Food Critic to Renaissance Man”

The Banter | The Guys talk about a new trend in martinis that’s “super-cool.”

The Conversation The Restaurant Guys reconnect with Anthony Giglio, food writer, wine lecturer, and expert on many things. They do some reminiscing, talk about the evolution of restaurant reviews and the best way to present “fancy pants” topics to people. Don’t miss an opportunity to win some of Anthony’s Side Gig Supersalt!

The Inside Track | The Guys met Anthony in the 1990s. As they became friends, he chose to stop reviewing their restaurant. 

Mark: I'd much rather be your friend than then have you be the guy who reviews me.

Francis: I'd rather have a friend with integrity than than a reviewer in my pocket so kudos to you, man  

Anthony: And look at all worked out. We’re still talking 30 years later.

Francis: By the way and those magazines and those restaurants are all probably out of business by now so here we are! All you have to do is outlive your enemies and everything works out great.
