Cleanup on Aisle Fun!

This is a review of Dean and Deluca in Soho and also somehow a David Bowie tribute episode?  Rod examines some unique citrus, agonizes over how much a pre-made quiche should cost, talks about marzipan animals for way too long, and once again gets horny for some cured meat.  This podcast still is not brought to you by RX Bar, Talenti, Ample Hills, or Kerrygold Irish Butter but it would LOVE to be ;)

Rod needed to go grocery shopping again so the Whole Foods in Williamsburg gets the Cleanup on Aisle Fun! treatment.  This episode includes another diatribe on soup, a description of baby clothing, and a near derailment during an ice cream taste test of Ample Hills Creamery.

Buckle up, folks this week Rod heads to a Westside Market near Union Square to get some personal grocery shopping done and DOES NOT HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE.  This episode features a lengthy anecdote about a medical scare, reflections on life, strange smells, and some firemen.  Rod continues to be thirsty for an RX Bar sponsorship, and once again extolls the virtues of Talenti gelato.

This week Rod and Sara Masterson (Law & Order: SVU, Theater) discuss the Super Foodtown in Washington Heights and how they both independently sought comfort in its aisles in the wake of their breakup!  Talking points include shopping strategy as a couple, children puking, the importance of family, and honestly just listen to this one because where else will you find a conversation between two people who used to date settle an old argument about eggs?

Rod reviews the Food Bazaar in Bushwick, baby!  Points of interest include the Peanut M&M, the loss of innocence, what exactly sweetbreads are, and a thorough description of a coffee mug.

Rod and guest Katie Johantgen (The Office: a Musical Parody) review the Whole Foods in Harlem.  Talking points for this episode include: cheap plastic toys, interruptions by man and beast, weird childhood foods, Greta Gerwig, and cereal.  Rod and Katie also totally drag an entrepreneur.
