Ash highly recommends Vaca (authentic Spanish cuisine) in Newport Beach, California, and also ventures to SoulBelly BBQ in the Arts District and Colorful Noodle on Jones and Tropicana.

John recaps his recent trips to Matteo's Ristorante Italiano and Chinglish Winebar, and decides he needs psychoanalysis to figure out why he has such a visceral reaction to paid parking.
