Episode notes

Noma has been named one of the best restaurants in the world. The restaurant is closing its doors after more than a decade on the scene. CNN's John Sutter talks to chef Renee Ritz-Eppie about why he decided to close Nama. "I think it's so easy often just to go back to what you know," she says.

Chef René Redzepi said his Copenhagen restaurant, Noma, deemed the best in the world, isn't sustainable and will close next year. But if an establishment charging top dollar can't survive, what restaurant can? KCRW's Evan Kleiman explains.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
