In Episode 102 of the Three Martini Lunch Podcast, host Julian Cox sits down with television host, entrepreneur, and wellness advocate Brooke Burke over three original martinis crafted just for her by Kástra Elión Vodka. The conversation moves from Brooke's path from winning Dancing with the Stars to hosting it for seven seasons, her fitness app Brooke Burke Body, and her role on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, to her belief that people will start living well past 100 thanks to how much better we now understand how to take care of the body. Julian also walks her through the case for vermouth — why most people are drinking it wrong, what makes French blanc vermouth different, and how it softens a cocktail rather than dulling it.

In Episode 101 of the Three Martini Lunch Podcast, host Julian Cox sits down at Osteria Mozza with Michelin-honored chef Nancy Silverton over three original martinis presented by Kástra Elión Vodka. The conversation digs into Silverton's philosophy that great food should feed the conversation rather than dominate it, her refusal to accept "good enough" as finished, and how setting a standard—like she did with La Brea Bakery's bread in 1989—raises the bar for everyone. She opens up about handling mistakes in her kitchens, what she looks for when hiring, and her emotional decision to open a new restaurant in the fire-ravaged Palisades as part of the community's rebuild—closing on why a strong cocktail program is now essential to any great restaurant.
