Episode notes

madison just moved to new york, and is writing another piece about going to brimfield market in massachusetts to furnish her new home. She has a wicker elephant end table that i bought on cragslas from coney island,. And this really great old dining room table that used to be an oyster shucking table in mane - it was in the same family for five generations. In my new life, i've put a few things up, but i'm almost scared to put the nail in the wall for some things, because i just want them to be in the right place. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Houses are evolving. Things and design changes.

In this first-ever episode of the FT Weekend podcast, host Lilah Raptopoulos talks to Eleven Madison Park’s Daniel Humm and Chez Panisse’s legendary Alice Waters to discover how the world’s top chefs are finding purpose beyond their restaurants. Humm created a buzz in May when he announced that his world-famous restaurant would be going entirely plant-based. Has that risk paid off? And what does it mean to do good as a chef?

Plus: the FT’s design critic Edwin Heathcote gives us a tour of the world’s most revengeful architecture, and reporter Madison Darbyshire shares tips for how to furnish your home with old things.
