You guys.  I got to sit down and have a discussion.  Like with real people.  It was glorious.  I met with the owner (Lacey Irby) and head chef (Ryan Brosseau) of Dear Margaret, an intimate French Canadian bistro that just opened in Chicago! (https://www.dearmargaretchi.com/) Give us a listen!

Today Ben & Steve are sampling candy from Japan and mustard from the National Mustard Museum!  No news this week because we're all waiting to see what the next season of 'America Implodes' brings us.

Today we're talking about food media's predictions for the 2021 trends, which include austerity, the continued rise of vampiric third party delivery systems, and the death of the salad bar.  But there's hope!  There's always pizza!

Happy soon-to-be-New-Year everyone!  Is it too early to celebrate?  Probably!

Today we're talking weird one-off junk food flavor combos, the continuing miasma of confusing COVID-related directives for restaurants and how operators are handling all of that.  Also, you can drink in airports!

Today we're talking Christmas (holiday) Cookies, Guy Fieri's foundation for out of work restaurant folk, and the 2020 food trends that never were.

Tonight we're talking about DoorDash's new grift, Christmas menu plans, Arby's and we're working on a 2020 wrapup, which is just as horrible as you'd imagine!
