In New York City, there's no reason to ever be late with the rare exception that it's a subway thing. In Japan, you need a fucking note if your subway is actually out. But I think in LA with traffic, it is a whole nother thing. And driving is it's so to me, your day is shot sometimes, but trying to be on time and you may overshoot it so much. You may be you when you get in the car, you have no idea if you're going to be an hour earlier and hourly. It's a different game.
After Chris and Dave lead you through the dreaded chain reaction of what occurs in a restaurant kitchen when a table is five minutes late to their reservation, they do their very first Debate Club on whether dining should require a special license on the diner's part. Other topics include kids as the death of punctuality, burying “friends of Dave” on the waitlist at Momofuku Ko, and what it takes to be a respectful diner.
Hosts: Dave Chang and Chris Ying
Producers: Sasha Ashall, Aleya Zenieris, and Gabi Marler
