Over four months, New York Times columnist Besha Rodell traveled more than 100,000 miles, visited six continents, and spent nearly 300 hours in the air. It was a mission to find 30 of the World’s Best restaurants for the first-ever joint list between Travel and Leisure and Food & Wine. A former restaurant critic for the LA Weekly, Besha was recently back in Los Angeles and visited KCRW’s Good Food to talk about her experience.
