This week we're celebrating birthday season and announce Pri's surprise birthday dinner! We review a traumatic teppanyaki reservation experience, a disappointing return to Catch, an unexpectedly incredible ramen find, and the ongoing search for sushi perfection. We also dive into Europeans discovering America via Walmart and Waffle House, mattress break-in periods, conference fatigue, and the emotional toll of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc.

In Spill the Matcha, we're unpacking Love Island chaos, Summer House fallout, Brittany Cartwright's post-divorce glow-up, Taylor Swift wedding conspiracy theories, Knicks mania, and the question on everyone's mind: Bryce and Zac?

Plus: sushi burritos, birthday check-fighting etiquette, Gilmore Girls heartbreak, and a very important game of Price Is Right featuring Polo Bar and Sushi Park menus.
