The Restaurant Guys
The Restaurant Guys is one of the original food and wine podcasts, launched in 2005 by restaurateurs Mark Pascal and Francis Schott.
With roots as a daily radio show, the podcast features in-depth conversations with chefs, bartenders, winemakers, authors, and hospitality professionals—offering the inside track on food, cocktails, wine, and restaurant culture.
New episodes and vintage conversations because the best stories, like the best bottles, age well. Expect insightful, opinionated, and entertaining conversations about food, wine, and the finer things in life.

The Banter
The Guys are stoked about The Restaurant Guys LIVE with Rocco DiSpirito taking place at the theater next door on March 14, 2025! In other earth-shattering news, Francis changes his mind.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys welcome pizza pioneer Daniel Holzman who was determined to bring NYC slices to LA. They discuss some of the challenges and joys of great pizza and why Daniel wants to share that with California.
The Inside Track
The Guys and Daniel, co-host of On the Line, talk about the loss of food journalism and how a quality podcast can help fill that void.
“You start to see the breakdown of information that is actually useful to people, which for me is the biggest sadness. I think (the podcast) definitely plays a useful and realistically a positive role in society, which is a nice place to start if you're going to think about adding something to the already overcrowded conversation,” Daniel Holzman on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2025
Bio
Daniel started his cooking career at the age of 15 at Le Bernardin in New York City until he attended the Culinary Institute of America.
In 2010, Daniel co-founded The Meatball Shop in New York City followed by five more locations.
He moved to LA to embark on a new passion, pizza, and opened Danny Boy's Famous Original in 2021. He opened his second location in the summer 2024, and has his plans for a third.
He is the co-author of Food IQ: 100 Questions, Answers, and Recipes to Raise Your Cooking Smarts, and The Meatball Shop Cookbook.
He is a co-host of On the Line podcast with Amanda Freitag.
