"Why the fuck do people have a problem at a restaurant? Let me tell you," he says. "I would never want to say to you, hey, you're allowed to be here for two hours." He's had five-and-a-half and six-hour dinners that were fun but not as enjoyable if they weren't interrupted by diners who didn't show up on time. 'You can't explain why that doesn't work'
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
