Each week on Condé Nast Traveler's podcast, Travelogue, we discuss where we've been, what we've discovered along the way, the people and places beckoning us next, and the food, shops, and events worth getting on a plane for. This week, we talk to chef Massimo Bottura, whose restaurant, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, was just awarded the number one spot on the annual World's 50 Best Restaurants list—the first time an Italian restaurant has ever taken the title. Chef Bottura tells us all about his hometown of Modena, his mind-bending approach to food, his passions for art and travel, and what it's like to come in first at the biggest food party of the year.
