TABLE 5 TRAILER Dec 30, 2021

Hi, I'm Lindsay Luttrell. In this podcast I'm going to be sitting down with chefs and restaurateurs getting to know them through their storytelling and exploring more than just their life in the kitchen. I first fell in love with the restaurant world while managing the odeon in New York. When the night would slow down, I would sit and have dinner at table 5, a cozy round banquette in the corner of the restaurant where I could see the front door, the bar and the entire dining room. Since then I have cast and produced culinary competitions for TV. I have had an amazing opportunity to get to know some incredible chefs along the way and have always been intrigued to know more. After years of interviewing behind the scenes, join me for more in depth conversations. This is Table 5!
