He opens up about his time at Eataly, the importance of management in the kitchen, the impact of the pandemic on his plans, and how he built new ventures such as Terpsi Hospitality and Bellita Pasta in Miami. Throughout the conversation, Christos emphasizes the role of family, simplicity, and Greek culture in his life and his food.

The episode wraps up with a fun rapid fire session where Christos shares his favorite places to visit in Greece, his go-to traditional dishes, thoughts on Greek coffee culture, and even his signature dish.
