"If I show up at the restaurant, people, I'm telling them the truth. The lie doesn't have to come directly from the person interacting with the host or reservation is the like and come from me," he says. "Every minute that you can save on a busy service is like five minutes really is."
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
