   Episode 109: Cooking with Alex Bass of Salon 21 in a Historic Greenwich Village Brownstone

   This episode of Hot Kitchens takes us to an 1850s townhouse in Greenwich Village, where we're cooking up a Minetta Tavern–inspired tiny tavern slider — caramelized onions, Dijon, cast iron sear, and a side of waffle fries — with special guest Alex Bass, founder of Salon 21 and co-creator of Artvisory, a new art advisory partnership with Brown Harris Stevens. Josh and Alex talk about kitchen staples (wooden spoons and All-Clad forever), the gas vs. electric stove debate, and her go-to NYC institution, Il Cantinori. Then they dig into how Alex is bringing Gertrude Stein's salon tradition into the 21st century, why she believes "a home isn't a home without art," how she helps first-time collectors get past sticker shock, and her advice for anyone intimidated by walking into a gallery.

   Episode 107: Piccata & Perspective — At the Table with Lindsay Biondo

   Interior Designer Lindsay Biondo of Houz of Rebel joins Josh Arcus on this episode of Hot Kitchens. Over a menu of lemon-roasted cauliflower with tahini and classic chicken piccata, we explore her approach to interiors where individuality leads, and design is rooted in how people truly live. From rethinking the modern kitchen as a place of gathering to embracing materiality, form, and function in equal measure, Lindsay shares a perspective that is both refined and refreshingly boundary-pushing. Food, design, and conversation, thoughtfully brought together.
