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

👑 The Hamburguesa Principessa has officially knighted a new Best Burger in Las Vegas!

🤞 John promises to try to do better. No guarantees, no timeline, just John.

📰 Food News! A Wizard of Oz–themed bar is coming to Vegas… because that’s exactly what we need down here.

🚨 Spring Mountain restaurant Health District scores are out and let’s just say… yikes.

🥐 French bakery FAIL! A once-recommended spot is officially off the list. Consider this your public service announcement.

💬 Plus, some “listener gossip” (JK) — it’s really just a love letter to how spot-on our recommendations continue to be (especially for out of towners wanting a fabulous time!)

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

🥃 Dry January? Absolutely not. We’re talking Buffalo Sober — intentions are pure, execution is questionable.

🏃‍♂️ A Taco Bell Ultramarathon exists… and of course it’s happened in Vegas. What are we doing as a city?

🍗 A KFC stabbing over gravy makes the news…

🎙️ And we’re officially placing bets on how long John’s Pet Peeve rant will last this week. (No one’s taking the under.)

Happy New Year! On today’s episode of Eat. Talk. Repeat.

🎉 Surprise! Sam is back — because starting the year without chaos would feel wrong.

🔮 Ash predicts a wave of restaurant closures in 2026 — tough love, hard truths, no crystal ball required.

🥩 Should steakhouses… become affordable? We debate whether this is real life or just clever menu math.

🤝 Shoutouts to ETR fans who stopped us “in the wild” — nothing makes our day like talking with you all!

🔥 We wrap it up with our 2026 food trends that need to die and the ETR crew’s culinary resolutions for the year ahead.

We first want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season. Thank you for watching!

On today’s episode of Eat. Talk. Repeat. — a Christmas Special 🎄

🍸 James Reza is back to break down the best places in town to grab festive holiday bar drinks — because if it’s December and you’re not holding something boozy, what are we even doing?

🎁 With fewer recent ventures to report on, we focus on quality over quantity — including a high-value shoutout to Ada’s and the noticeably improved service at 1228 Main.

🎄 Holiday vibes, insider tips, and just enough chaos to keep things on brand.

🎥 And be sure to watch until the very end — the ETR team has a holiday surprise for John that he absolutely did not see coming.

🏔️ Special on-site episode from Viking Mikes Alpine Yurt Bar! A cozy little getaway from the Vegas heat — no flight, no resort fees.

☕ We’re joined by Jerad Howard of Vesta Coffee (our Arts District neighbor) breaking down the inspiration behind the space and what makes this concept hit different.

🍜 Plus, Chef Brian Coughlin from local—and ETR—favorite Le Thai stops by to talk influences, collaboration, and why comfort food always wins.

🔥 We do a deep dive into what inspired the Alpine Yurt Bar, the behind-the-scenes details you won’t catch on Instagram, and the special treats you absolutely need to order.

🕺 The disco show is officially gone. Pour one out for the Strip’s Grand Dance Experiment

🥩 New York may have all the top steakhouses, but Vegas put Delmonico on the map — and we’re taking the win.

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.
