This week, we're getting edgy with Food Network personality and cookbook author Eric Greenspan. We discuss everything from how one achieves "Celebrity Chef" status to beating Bobby Flay. We find out from the “Grilled Cheese God” how many sandwich recipes exist AND tackle the burning question: is Guy Fieri genuinely a nice guy or just a flame-shirted facade? Get ready for a racy, mouthwatering, and hilariously “cheesy” (yeah that’s a “New School” plug) chat! @chefgreeny @eatnewschool @duckdelivery

Join the ladies as they get real with Chef Ruben Rodriguez of Nai & Bad Hombre in the East Village. They dig into his wild tales of growing up in Galicia, Spain, his no-BS take on the hospitality industry, and why pilates isn’t just for soccer moms.

In this super candid episode, we chat with Mandy Naglich, the badass award-winning home beer brewer, super taster, Master Cicerone, and author of the facinating book "How to Taste." Mandy spills the tea (and maybe a few beers) on the fine art of tasting, her thoughts on natural wine and how many times she's been flashed on the R train. But obviously there's more – we dive headfirst into the ultimate New York debate: are you a real New Yorker if you haven’t had sex in a yellow cab? It’s a wild, mouth-watering ride! @drinkswithmandy
