Mary Ann and Tom chat with Drew Herrington and Stephen Bandi of Dlivery Nola about the madness-inside-the-madness that is food delivery in these times.

Mary Ann and Tom talk soufflé potatoes and garbanzo beans and MacDonald's vs. In 'N'Out and The Burger Joint and Popeye's Chicken Sandwich, Seagram's and The Poddle Dog Restaurant....ending with a most interesting quote from Leonardo da Vinci.

Tom and Mary Ann reunite with Chef Andrea for a chat. And Ron the Gourmet Waiter calls in with his own list.

More silliness somehow connected to food. Hush Puppies, Hints from Heloise, catfish, and blind dates.

Tom remembers his favorite supermarket of all time - Pap's in Gentilly, but the conversation moved on to all the others too.

Remembering places like Berdou's, the original Del Frisco's,  Dos Gringos, Visko's, and of course, Le Ruth's.

A big bunch of heavyweight birthdays today.  Baron Rothschild, Thomas Jefferson, cobblers, Woolworth counters.

Mary Ann and Tom talk soft shell crabs, and buster crabs, and a lobster named Larry and thinking too much about your food. Also Paul Theroux.

Daniel Lelchuk checks in with Tom from New Hampshire. They reminisce about the origins of their acquaintance, music, Topol, Tom's violin, and a little food talk.

Tom and Mary Ann continue foodstuffs for the day, including gumbo z'herbes, Leah Chase,  Dennis Quaid, Paulina Porizkova, and Anthony Bourdain. Also bento boxes. We did two of these today and they overlap a bit, but both are fun.
