About this listen

It’s the Go-To Weekend season finale — and we’re going out with a bang. We kick things off, as always, with High, Low & Regret (and a little spicy industry gossip: Straker and Carrie? Victor Garvey’s surprise closure? Drake at Claridge’s?!). Then it’s onto the “slutty chef” internet sensation, TikTok’s royal wedding.


Finally, a powerful interview with chef, author and Bourdain confidante Laurie Woolever. From the raw realities of 90s New York kitchens to her deep reflections on addiction, fame, and legacy, Laurie doesn’t hold back. Plus, her NYC black book picks, weekend go-to recs, and the one thing she cannot stand. Don’t miss this bold, brilliant finale — and thank you for spending your weekends with us.
