What does beauty have to do with winning a tennis grand slam,
or empowering communities, or tracking jaguars through the wild heart of South America?
Hi there, I'm Isabella Rossellini, and I'm back with season two of This Is Not A Beauty podcast,
where I uncover stories that get to the heart of how beauty is woven through every facet of our lives.

Welcome everyone to the Daily Sunday Special.
I'm Gilbert Cruz, editor of the New York Times Book Review,
and every Sunday I'm here talking with my colleagues about culture of all sorts,
which often means movies and TV and books and stuff like that.
But this week, wonderfully, deliciously, we're talking about food.
So this month, The Times released a list of the 50 best restaurants in America.
And it's an amazing thing that the reporters and critics and editors in our food department did.
They crisscrossed the country and wrote about all sorts of places.
Casual, fancy, big, small,
and somehow they came up with this list that represents the state of modern dining in America.
Luckily, today, I have two of those people here.
with me to talk about that list.
Priya Krishna, who wrote a lot about Texas for this project.
It's where she's from.
Hello Priya.
