Can the New York Times Take Their Food Section National?
Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to the news that the New York Times is taking a different approach to its food section: having a critic specifically devoted to covering restaurants outside New York, plus producing more video content. Can they take the success they've had in New York City and make it work on a national level? How prized will these reviews be in other cities? Can they really take on other well-known publications, plus the influencer set?

Adam, Joanna, and Zach answer a listener question about why it is that so many wine lists look the same these days, with the same wines being sold or excluded.

No, Gen Z is Not Killing the Bar Tab
Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss a recent and much-shared New York Times piece claiming that Gen Z is "killing the bar tab."
