All on the Table with Katie Lee Biegel

In this episode of All on the Table, I’m joined by recipe creator, entrepreneur, and bestselling author Rachel Mansfield. We dive into the inspiration behind her approachable, family-friendly recipes that have gained her over 1 million Instagram followers, and discuss her new cookbook, More, Please (available for preorder).

Rachel shares how she thoughtfully plans her weeks, why she prefers strategies over life hacks, and how she balances motherhood with running her growing business, Cadootz. Like me, Rachel loves ground beef, and she shares her favorite ways to use a pound, plus what to do with a box of pasta for a quick meal (think: French onion soup vibes).

In this episode of All on the Table, I sit down with my longtime friend and colleague, Gail Simmons. Gail and I first met on the set of Top Chef, and we take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the early days of the show, behind-the-scenes moments, and how it all began.

Gail also shares insights from her new book, Guesting (available for preorder), offering practical, modern advice on how to be a thoughtful, gracious guest—and what not to do when you’re invited into someone’s home. Guesting is not limited to homes, Gail also dives into the do's and don'ts of being a restaurant guest, with useful information about how much to tip.

Whether you’re a longtime Top Chef fan, love entertaining, or just want to up your guesting game, this conversation is full of nostalgia, humor, and takeaways. Follow Gail @gailsimmonseats.

Katie welcomes her husband, Ryan, back with a catch-up-style episode all about what they’ve been loving lately. They frame the episode around the game of “rainbows and mud puddles”—their daily dinnertime ritual with Iris, when they share the highs and lows of the day. The topics they cover are the new restaurants they're loving, inspiring spring produce, and current food trends that either get a thumbs up or thumbs down, (i.e. the frozen yogurt comeback with out-of-control lines thanks to social media). It’s a light, feel-good conversation that will get you excited for sunny days and warmer weather.

Katie talks with legendary restaurateur Drew Nieporent for a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at his remarkable career and his new memoir, I’m Not Trying to Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches. A born-and-raised New Yorker, Drew shares how growing up surrounded by the city’s diverse food scene sparked his passion for restaurants early on—eventually leading him to study at Cornell and even take his first job at McDonald’s, where he learned the power of consistency. From there, he went on to open some of New York City’s most iconic spots, including Tribeca Grill, Tavern on the Green, and the game-changing Nobu, which helped redefine Japanese cuisine in America. He also reflects on the energy of NYC in the ’90s and shares powerful memories of 9/11, including how he and his team supported the community through Tribeca Grill. It’s an engaging, nostalgic, and inspiring conversation you won’t want to miss.

Katie sits down with her good friend and New York Times bestselling author, Xochitl Gonzalez, for a fascinating and deeply personal conversation about reinvention, storytelling, and the ever-evolving American Dream. From leaving behind a successful career in event planning to becoming a Pulitzer Prize finalist in her 40s, Xochitl shares the unexpected path that led her to writing—and how her latest novel, Last Night in Brooklyn, brings a Gatsby-esque lens to 2007 Fort Greene at the height of its transformation. Through the eyes of Alicia Canales Forten, the story dives into ambition, identity, and the magnetic pull of wealth and status, all set against a backdrop of shifting neighborhoods and social dynamics. Katie and Xochitl also touch on the cultural themes woven through her work, what inspires her characters, and of course, their shared love of food (Xochitl gives the secrets to her pernil recipe) - making this an episode that’s as thought-provoking as it is fun to listen to.
