The Simmer Logo & Cover

Check out the latest episode of The Simmer, where Brandon and Kristen sat down with Ben Leventhal, the mind behind Eater and Resy. Now he’s onto his next chapter: Blackbird, a loyalty and payments platform built specifically for the restaurant industry.

They get into:

  • How restaurant loyalty is evolving (and why most programs still get it wrong)
  • The so-called “reservations wars” and what they mean for operators
  • Some genuinely great restaurant recommendations

Ben has shaped how we discover, book, and experience restaurants more than almost anyone. This conversation does not disappoint.
