‘Check, Please!,’ the Bay Area’s Longest Running Dinner Party, Turns 20

KQED's Forum

About this episode

For 20 years, the Emmy- and James Beard-award winning show “Check, Please! Bay Area” has brought together local diners to kibbitz about their favorite restaurants. The concept is simple: three locals each recommend a restaurant, everyone tries the places out, and they meet for a spirited conversation about what they liked, what they loved, and what they could do without. The restaurants reviewed range from mom and pop shops to Michelin-award winning, but one thing they all have in common is at least one passionate fan. “Check, Please! Bay Area” host Leslie Sbrocco and producer Lori Halloran join us to talk about the imprint the show has made on local dining over the last two decades. Guests: Leslie Sbrocco, host, "Check Please! Bay Area" Lori Halloran, series producer, "Check Please! Bay Area" Gypsy Love, artist and former "Check Please! Bay Area" guest Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
