A Tí vs. Broken Spanish Comedor. James Beard "Scandal." CPK's Cringey Cease & Desist. And An Interview With Tomat's Natalie Dial & Harry Posner.
Episode 174
Friday, 17 April, 2026

The LA Food Podcast is now on YouTube, and we’re celebrating with a brand new segment: VERSUS. This week, Luca and Father Sal go head-to-head debating two of LA’s most exciting modern Mexican restaurants—Echo Park favorite A Ti vs. the return of Ray Garcia at Broken Spanish Comedor—arguing which one is truly worth your next reservation. Plus, Chef’s Kiss Big Miss is back with takes on the latest James Beard Awards controversy, a bizarre California Pizza Kitchen cease and desist, Food & Wine’s controversial best food cities rankings, and the rise of the “restaurant relationship gap.” In Part 2, we sit down with Natalie Dial and Harry Posner of Tomat, the Westchester hotspot near LAX, to hear their incredible journey from meeting in The Gambia to leaving London behind to build one of LA’s most unique all-day restaurants. If you haven’t been yet, this conversation might change that.--Presented by mva.wine.
