Dave is reunited with Chris Ying, and they kick off the episode by talking about ice cream on a trompo (and the subsequent social media reaction) and their mutual hatred of dark chocolate. Dave also drops a hot take on one of his favorite dishes to order at Nobu (or the original Matsuhisa). The episode continues with a mini Ask Dave, covering everything from the best chef knives to order on Amazon, to when to book tickets to a bachelor party, to Dave’s rebuttal to his seemingly contradictory takes about the importance of food authenticity. Dave shifts gears to a Davestradamus (or Nostradaveus?) prediction about restaurant purveyors and the expensive future of ingredient sourcing at high-end restaurants. Dave and Chris then jump in on a MOIF that covers optimal pizza topping combinations, UFOs, full-service movie theaters, and a certain beloved sandwich in the Los Angeles area. The episode concludes with Dave making a helpful suggestion to writers of wine lists everywhere.
