"You walk in and you feel like it's a home of sorts, a second home." Tucked into Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, Auren's Deli (@aurensdeli ) is the kind of place that's hard to leave. Part wine bar, part listening room, part neighbourhood dining room — co-owners Henry Stevens and Pernille Rosenbæk have built a third space that resists easy categorization, and meets you exactly where you are. In our latest digital story, Dominic Ashby explores the practice of reciprocity at the heart of it — and what it means to truly inhabit a space like this. Read the full story at the link in bio.

“Simple, delicious things you can enjoy on a skewer that's grilled over charcoal while you're chatting with your friend or partner that you love, while listening to your favorite songs, and getting looked after by someone who sees you. You look up and see the whole thing unfolding. Pure enjoyment of service, space, food, and hospitality.” This is how Chef Jeff Claudio (@jeffeclaudio ) describes what a first-time guest should understand about Stoke (@stoke.berlin ) and his philosophy. Our latest digital story offers a closer look at the thinking behind that approach — from the rhythm of the grill to the atmosphere Jeff hopes guests feel the moment they walk through the door.

At Stoke (@stoke.berlin ) in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district, Chef Jeff Claudio (@jeffeclaudio ) cooks over charcoal, with yakitori as the foundation. The Canadian-Filipino chef was shaped by kitchens like Yardbird in Hong Kong and Burnt Ends in Singapore. Together with Jessica Tan (formerly of Copenhagen’s Relæ Group) (@jessicafatcat ) and Niklas Harmsen (@slurpremo ), they built Stoke from the ground up. Sichuan heat, Cantonese comfort, Taiwanese and Korean influences drift through the menu, filtered through Japanese grilling technique and seasonal European ingredients. In our latest digital story, Mi Mi Chloe Park (@airpleinmode ) visits Stoke to speak with Jeff about charcoal cooking, running a kitchen based on trust rather than hierarchy, and why hospitality still matters more than reinvention.

British food, reconsidered. At Wilde’s in Los Feliz, co-owners Natasha Price and Tatiana Ettensberger draw from England’s rustic pub fare while grounding their menu in California’s seasonal produce. Whole ducks are broken down in-house, and when duck breast sells out, the menu evolves — skate taking its place in keeping with the season. Rather than leaning into nostalgia or cliché, Wilde’s exists in the space between tradition and terroir — a marriage of British influence and what’s fresh at the farmer’s market. In our latest digital story, Hannah Benson explores how the restaurant is challenging assumptions about what “British food” can look like in Los Angeles.

With a belief in the unifying power of the neighborhood pub, Wilde’s (@wildes.la ) has quickly become a gathering place in Los Feliz, a hillside neighborhood in Los Angeles. Best friends since childhood, Natasha Price (@natashaeprice ) and Tatiana Ettensberger (@kimchikraut_ ) opened the British-forward restaurant in late October alongside chef de cuisine Sarah Durning (@saribehavior ), creating a corner spot where anyone — young, old, regular, or first-timer — could finish their day over a glass of wine and a shared plate. In our latest digital story, Hannah Benson speaks with the co-owners about building a restaurant rooted in British pub culture, whole-animal cooking, and the kind of comfort that turns first visits into rituals.

A shrimp cocktail, adjusted until it felt exactly right. A birthday cake from a family recipe — the menu at The Snail (@thesnailnyc ) reads like somewhere you've already been. That’s entirely the point. Austin Baker and Cristy-Lucie Alvarado wanted it folded into daily life. When TikTok found them and the lines followed, they didn’t lean into the wait. They expanded their hours — a small shift that reflects a preference for accessibility over exclusivity. One year in, it’s still for the neighborhood.

With a vision of creating a pillar of support for their community, The Snail (@thesnailnyc ) has since become a cornerstone of Greenpoint's dining scene. Austin Baker (@bakeraw ) and Cristy-Lucie Alvarado (@cristylucie ) opened the restaurant in late 2024, with the intention of serving familiar bites and molding the place to be one their neighbors could always return to without needing any special occasion. In our latest digital story, editor Crystal Luo speaks with Austin and Cristy to trace how a restaurant born from shared years in hospitality became one of the most talked-about rooms in Brooklyn.
