Brant meets up with award-winning actor, producer, and director Regina King at Found Oyster to discuss the perfect french fry, orange wine, and the restaurants that make Los Angeles special. The born-and-raised Angeleno looks back on the neighborhood spots that shaped her, shares her love of a “schmedium” oyster (always with hot sauce), and explains the magic behind restaurants that keep her coming back. Plus, Regina shares how her son Ian inspired her orange wine label Mianu.

On Restaurant People, Infatuation restaurant critic Brant Cox sits down with some of the biggest names in Hollywood to see what makes them restaurant people. They discuss their lives, careers, pop culture, and of course, great food. Restaurant People is more than just a celebration of restaurant culture. It’s a love letter to Los Angeles, family, community, and making sure there’s always a fresh vesper on the table. Ever wonder what Phil Rosenthal’s go-to deli order is? Or why Sasha Colby always gets the chicken piccata after hosting drag bunch? This show is for you. Because if you’re still reading this, you’re obviously a restaurant person, too.

Our 2025 guides to The Best New Restaurants around the country are live and ready for you to disagree with. So we’re dedicating our final episode of the season to explaining the behind-the-scenes process, which takes Infatuation editors and writers 12 months and hundreds of restaurant visits. Bryan and Hannah hear from Philly Senior Staff Writer Candis McLean about choosing ratings, how she narrows down a shortlist of favorites, and the restaurant trends of the year.
