  • Food Fights

    Christine and Abigail are joined by Megha, Calandra, and two Andrews to dive into heated debates around beloved and contentious food topics. They first tackle whether Fettuccine Alfredo can truly be considered an authentic Italian dish, discussing culinary traditions and American adaptations. The conversation heats up in the second debate as we take on whether or not food expiration dates are legitimate warnings or merely a corporate scam designed to drive sales.
