We have reached the end of an incredible journey. For our series finale of No Reservations, we traveled from the rooftops of Jerusalem all the way to Los Angeles for a very special closing chapter.
We shut down the iconic Milky Way restaurant—the legendary kosher spot founded by Leah Spielberg (yes, Steven Spielberg’s mother!)—for an intimate conversation with the one and only Patti Stanger, the Million Dollar Matchmaker.
Watch our series finale with Patti Stanger right here!
A Matchmaker’s Heart
Patti comes from three generations of matchmakers. She has spent her entire life helping the world find “The One,” but in this finale, she gets more honest than ever before about her own heart. Over halibut chowder, trout almondine, and a classic New York cheesecake, we dove into the parts of her life the cameras usually don’t see.
We talked about:
- Breaking the Patterns: The trauma Patti has healed and the generational cycles she worked so hard to break in her own life.
- Soul Contracts & Soulmates: A deep dive into the spiritual side of love. Do we all have a “person” out there? Patti’s answer might surprise you.
- The Power of the Ketubah: Why Jewish identity and tradition are the foundations of lasting connection, even in the modern dating world.
- Never Giving Up: Why, after everything she’s seen and been through, Patti still believes her person is out there—and why you should too.
A Finale to Remember
There was something so “Quick, Clean, and Flavorful” for the spirit about sitting in the Milky Way, surrounded by Jewish history and holiday memories, talking about the most important thing in the world: love.

Sitting with Patti reminded me that no matter how much fame or success we achieve, at the end of the day, we are all just searching for that true connection—to each other, to our roots, and to God.
This is the perfect way to close this season of No Reservations:

Thank You for Joining the Table
As we wrap up this series, I want to thank you for sitting at this table with me. We’ve shared stories of survival, transformation, activism, and faith. We’ve looked at the world with no filters and no fear.
I’d love to hear from you one last time this season: Patti spoke about “soul contracts”—the idea that some people are just meant to be in our lives. Who is one person in your life that you feel was a “divine match” for you?
