Pineapple on pizza isn’t a personality. LA food sucks compared to NYC. Sad whimpers of a cookie vs super thic cookies. Danny says there IS ranch for your b*tt hole. Danny ate 24 raw jalapeños on Facebook live. Nyc is so hard that it kinda has to become part of your personality as a coping mechanism. Columbus food is amazing but can’t compare to nyc purely based on volume alone. Pro tip: Gramercy Tavern order a vegetarian and a meat tasting menu and share each bite! Fine dining attention to detail is the X factor. 11 Madison Park is the best meal he’s had. When spending a lot of money the experience is the most important part.

Gavin was broke while on a date and miraculously got a $150 gift card from a random stranger. He used to sell craft beer and wine and that job was part of the reason he became a foody. He had a covid wedding, so it was small BUT silver lining: they could ball out on the food. Being the first person at a wedding to get seconds # shameless. Unpopular food opinions: Chick-fil-A is overrated, Little Caesars pizza is good, and if you’re not a spicy fan you’re missing out BIG time. Traverse City, Michigan top 3 restaurants.

Wario’s Beef and Pork X upperfeast collab! Marcella’s (Cameron Mitchell Restaurant) was mediocre and disappointing. I had burrata and penne vodka w/ a meatball. Stale, soulless, bland food. Spiciest food I’ve ever eaten, wings from Hoggy’s BBQ. So spicy my body rejected it and I vomited. Hanging out w/ a random older lady and her young boyfriend, eating edibles and going to a diner. In college I dined and dashed twice. Chugged a Mountain Dew in Taco Bell's drive thru and got a free refill and more.

Tripe tacos FEAST or pass? Corn or flour tortilla shells? Income disparity between front of the house and back of the house.Chef Jack of Blackbird Kitchen went to culinary school at Columbus State Community College, worked in food trucks and catering and last year he opened Blackbird Kitchen in Woodlands Tavern in Columbus, Ohio. No plans for a brick and mortar anytime soon. I’m a super fan of their birria, specifically the consome and I asked him how he perfected it. Veritas was Jack’s best meal of all time, shoutout Josh Dalton. Neither of us had a5 wagyu steak yet. Smash burgers smashed on the grill or before? Their smash burgers are made with the butcher & grocer beef. What’s your go to order at Taco Bell? Jack’s the laziest home cook, probably because he’s on the grill four days a week. He tells me about fights breaking out in the kitchen and more.

Hillbillies dining out for the first time. Learning things from rude customers like asking “do you need your change” vs “I’ll be right back with your change”. Keep the change but it’s a bad tip do you give them the change or keep the bad tip? Red flags of an annoying table “I’m a good tipper” “soda refills are free?” etc. Being on set one day and then going back to your restaurant job the next day. Waiting on celebrities including Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler and Pamela Anderson. Drew got nervous leaving a bonus tip in addition to auto gratuity. Drew doesn’t like IPA’s (he no longer drinks). Nashville hot chicken is his go to munchies food. Top 3 Los Angeles restaurants.
