Liebrandt breaks down the reality of running a fine-dining restaurant for three episodes of "The Bear," starring Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, such as kitchen jargon used in the kitchen, the creation and execution of dishes, and the high-stress environment in the kitchen often depicted in popular culture. He further explains fine-dining culture — from food critics to the impact of social media — as seen in the food critic scene in both "Ratatouille" and "Chef," with Jon Favreau; the pursuit to receive three Michelin stars in "Burnt," starring Bradley Cooper; and how social media has shaped the fine dining experience in "The Menu," with Anya Taylor-Joy and Ralph Fiennes. He also explains cooking and plating techniques, along with the evolution of French cuisine, via the molecular gastronomy scene in "The Hundred-Foot Journey," with Helen Mirren; the use of foie gras in "Cook Up a Storm"; the cooking competition scene "Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma," and the omelet-making scene at Le Cordon Bleu in "Julie & Julia," starring Merryl Streep as Julia Child.
Liebrandt has been a chef for over 25 years and owned the two- Michelin-starred restaurant Corton in New York City. He also previously worked at the New York restaurants Atlas, Gilt, and Papillon. His book "To the Bone" is part cookbook and part memoir of his culinary experiences.

Corman specialized in making low-budget genre movies with titles like "The Wasp Woman," "Attack of the Crab Monsters," and "Teenage Caveman." A producer of nearly 500 films, he also directed over 50 features. He's perhaps best known for giving many of Hollywood's most successful directors their first breaks. He received an honorary Academy Award in 2009 "for his unparalleled ability to nurture aspiring filmmakers by providing an environment that no film school could match."
In 2017, chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan sat down with Corman in his Los Angeles office for a wide-ranging conversation about his storied career. This is the first time this extended version of the interview has been published.
Corman is credited with helping launch the careers of actors such as Jack Nicholson as well as Academy Award-winning filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, and Jonathan Demme. Corman hired these directors in the early stages of their careers to helm low-budget features that the filmmakers have acknowledged as learning experiences they applied in their later larger-scale productions.
In fact, many of these directors hired Corman in small acting roles in movies like "The Godfather Part II," (Coppola), "The Silence of the Lambs" (Demme), and "Apollo 13" (Ron Howard).
In the interview, Corman shares myriad lessons learned while working in the film industry for more than 60 years. He talks about producing a movie that was never released based on Marvel's "Fantastic Four" series, as well as how he made a unique deal with Universal Pictures for the rights to the title of "The Fast and the Furious," which is the name of a 1954 film he produced.

Mazur went undercover for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service intelligence division, and the Customs Service.
In Operation C-Chase, Mazur successfully infiltrated the Medellín cartel by posing as a wealthy, mob-connected businessman named Robert Musella.

In Operation Promo, Mazur posed as an Italian American businessman named Robert Baldasare to expose money-laundering networks associated with the Cali cartel. At its peak, the Cali cartel is estimated to have produced 80% of the world's cocaine supply. It was controlled by Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela, Pacho Herrera, and José Santacruz Londoño.
Mazur is the author of "The Infiltrator," which became a New York Times bestseller and spawned a 2016 film of the same title, starring Bryan Cranston (as Mazur), John Leguizamo, and Diane Kruger.
