The New York Times Columnist Seth Kugel stops by with a report on the latest travel problems — and solutions, as well as a report on the growing problem of…bed bugs at hotels and resorts. Legendary restaurateur Drew Nieporent, and Author of “I’m Not Trying to be Difficult,” on the changing dynamics of the restaurant business and what you need to know before you order anything on the menu. Then a deep dive into Carmel, with Mayor Dale Byrne, Magnus Torén, Executive Director of The Henry Miller Library, Corey Madden, Executive Director of the Monterey Museum of Art, and marine biologist Nancy Black, founder of Monterey Bay Whale Watch.
