Two years, 100+ episodes, countless conversations, and so many people that have helped shape Culinary Confidential along the way.

Season 2 wraps up this week, and rejoining Culinary Confidential for a recap of the season are Shaina Nestor and Tony Mangia - two people who championed this show in ways that happen in front of the microphone and far beyond it.

Shaina is constantly thinking about the show - making introductions, connecting with various people in the industry, recommending guests, and opening doors simply because she believes in what this show is building.

Tony has become such a special part of the show. Beyond being an incredible supporter of the show, him and Christina share the same love for hospitality, old-school places, great stories, nostalgia, and the people who make this industry what it is.

Those are the people you want around your table.

This anniversary isn't just about looking back at two years of Culinary Confidential. It was about celebrating the people, relationships, and conversations that have made these two years mean something.

Here's to two years at the table - and everything still to come!
