You will never see this kind of place in New York City in Manhattan. You might see it in Brooklyn or Queens or the Bronx, but I still don't even know of those places. Dining at night is like getting upstairs at Galatore's in New Orleans. Because you eat for three to five hours. It really is a thing. And also another thing about Mexico City. If you want to dine, you dine during the day. You don't really dine at night. That's the whole thing.
Dave recounts all the amazing things he ate in Mexico City, including one of the best last courses he’s ever eaten at Pujol and the timeless excellence of Contramar. Then Dave and Chris introduce a couple of new segments, "Theoretical Dinner Party," in which they draft aging rock stars to eat dinner with, and "Culinary Arbitrage," in which they dissect the value of live shellfish and New York City sushi. Other topics include white lying to your friends, the importance of colonoscopies, ice baths in the morning, the benefits of routine, and spot prawns vs. lobster.
Hosts: Dave Chang and Chris Ying
