Opera singer Erin Matthews comes by and asks Danny to make Shepherd's Pie. Danny even tries it despite mashed potatoes being one of his life long nemeses. Erin apologizes for requesting mashed potatoes as she tells us her true favorite childhood meal that was too embarrassing to ask for.

Erin then tells us about the current show she's touring called The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage by Sydney Padua, attempts to give Danny a vocal lesson, and talks about the idea of artists taking up space.

Comedian Uri Shatil comes by and asks Danny to make Matzo Brei for a belated Passover celebration. Uri tells us a little history about Jewish holidays, his family's roots, and how sometimes he feels like a stranger in a supposedly familiar place.

Uri also talks learning about himself and how much like the wigs of his partners, he was hiding something he had to come to fruition with.

Comedian Liam McGurk comes by and asks Danny for "White Rice with Chicken and Soy Sauce."

From the request we can already tell this was a single parent in a busy household.

Liam confirms our hunch as he talks growing up with his mother and younger sister, how his sister figured things out before he did, and how the swimming pool was his biggest childhood nemesis.

Liam also talks a bit of Boston history and Danny learns it was a pretty sexy time.

Another "Dinner at Your Place?" holiday episode sees a repeat guest in Candice Conner come back to the chair on Easter Sunday.

Candice and Danny were headed to a dinner so no food was requested but chocolate is heavy on hand as Candice talks about a recent romantic letdown, the power of writing a letter, and how lighting stuff on fire can be even more powerful.

The design team behind Candice's rebrand is The Aud Agency. Launching next month, the creators are @audmadame and @_audball.

Comedian Danya Trommer comes by and asks Danny to make a rack of ribs.

Danny is very happy to feed Danya as he learns all about their eating schedule (or lack thereof), how Trader Joe's spaghetti is what Danya is made of, and at one point they reveal their secret "vodka sauce" recipe.

Danya also talks gender identity, tells us about when a motherly secret was accidentally revealed, and reminds Danny of a time he was a real jerk to them.

Comedian (and brother to a past guest) Mustafe Mussa comes by and asks Danny to make Beef Suqqar and Lahoh. It goes surprisingly well.

As Mustafe eats the love for his country flows strong as he tells us about how Somalia is just for the Somalis. Mustafe also creates a country for a marginalized group, gives a couple thoughts on Kanye West's new savior Jonah Hill, and brings up the one time Kyrie Irving was right about something. It's actually a pretty good point.

For our first repeat guest, Adrian Diaz comes by to talk with Danny about how his recent fight went at Redline Sports. Adrian talks about what the mindset is like going into a fight, how to cope with nerves, and a gut check moment that made Adrian realize he was born for this.

The two also do a quick taste comparison of Jayson Tatum's Flamin Hot BBQ Ruffles versus Lebron James' Flamin Hot Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles. The results will SHOCK you.

Comedian Janelle Draper comes by and asks Danny to make Stuffed Shells and a side salad. She helps Danny process a couple of tough months as she talks about admiring the work you put in even if you come up short and how it's worth it to "take the stairs".

Stuffed Shells were good. Who knows why she picked it as her meal though.

"It's a Date!" is a live blind first date between two contestants. Audience members are given a color coded paddle upon entering the show to participate. During the contestant's date if you have a question for one (or both) of the contestants, hold up the yellow side and one Jaylene's crowd controllers will bring you a microphone to ask that question.

Jealous of someone on stage? See someone you like? Hold up the pink side and you can pitch yourself to switch out one of the contestants. Or pitch yourself to both contestants. It really doesn't matter. Anything goes.

Danny has been Jaylene's crowd controller since day one. The two go over this first year of shows, how Jaylene got the idea in the first place, and where she sees this going.
