On today’s episode of Eat. Talk. Repeat.

🎙️ John reminds everyone—loudly, confidently, and with zero room for debate—that there is simply no other podcast like Eat. Talk. Repeat.

🗞️ A heaping serving of food news you can actually use — closures, openings, and those clickbait “updates” that leave out half the story (don’t worry, we fill in the rest).

🍷 Ada’s Food + Wine is officially opening December 19th — mark your calendars, cancel your diets.

🍣 The Pepper Club is closing… but also remodeling… but also closing again? It’s a whole thing. We sort it out.

🤢 John’s Pet Peeve of the Week will make you gag — consider this your warning.

📞 And listener Charles sent in a pet peeve: LOUD. FACETIME. CALLS. At restaurants. Put. The. Phone. Down.
