Dave is joined by Chris Ying as the two kick things off with a Delete Yelper: Benu. The analysis of an old one-star review of Corey Lee’s three Michelin-starred institutions gets into a discussion of attitudes about dining and how they’ve shifted in the past 10 years. The pair then turn to pitching a “perfect game” in Copenhagen, as Dave runs down some of his favorite restaurants in the city. Finally, the pair play Overrated/Underrated with various French foods in anticipation of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.
