Mad Food

Aliza J. Sokolow enters the Sherman Oaks Food Building to talk Passover eating and cooking with Jordan, who gives his matzah eating power rankings, which includes lots of butter advice, which crack toppings are wack, and dust buster warnings. Aliza also teaches Jordan a couple of lessons for being a more enlightened eater from her new book, This Is What I Eat: Fun Activities For Mindful Eating.

This is it, the last Air Jordan Mastro's Steakhouse ride has arrived in all its shrimp cocktail sauce dripping, hot buttered pretzel roll and shlog covered 90210 glory. Jordan is joined by Shapiro and Josh Peck to review one last Canon Drive gutbusting night, as the boys were recently treated to a feast by brothers Danny and David aka The Landlords. And don't fret, the spicy mambo salad, sauteed seafood, and butter cake bit may be coming to an end, but this Beverly Hills legend will never die.

Jordan is joined by returning Air Jordan all-stars Jamie Patricof and Lily Rosenthal to talk and debate the best things to order at Torrisi in New York, Mother Wolf, McDonald's, Capital Seafood, Din Tai Fung, Genghis Cohen, Saffy's, Matū, Courage Bagels, Burritos La Palma, and Dan Tana's. Please take notes.

Jordan is joined by returning all-stars Michael Lasker and Kate Burr to talk the Academy Awards and to draft their dream Oscars viewing party food lineups.

Food and wine and caviar connoisseur Charlie Fu joins Jordan and Shapiro to talk everything Astrea, the Chinese sturgeon eggs getting dolloped across Los Angeles, pinpointing the best Astrea dishes all over the city. Plus, Charlie loves to water the head like Max, so we talk best drinking restaurants, some overrated ones, and finally crown the Wine King of Air Jordan with some wino trivia. And if you'd like to buy some Astrea, get 20% off with promo code: Bubbles20. What a code!

Shapiro is back in the building, fresh off an eating bender in Japan to talk all the raw chicken and fish, grilled cow, and fried thangs, and to answer audience questions with Jordan, including best restaurants to take parents to, more Angler 2.0 dishes, dream L.A. food collabs, the wine tasting myth, lots of shrimp, and the one time Jordan saw Jerry Garcia perform live.

Dave Stassen returns to The Sherman Oaks Food Building to recap the fellas eating on Super Bowl Sunday, and it's all Matū cheesesteaks, not enough and too much pizza, no pints for Pints Sr., and Jordan really overdid it. Then, Jordan travels to the Arts District to sit down with Katianna and John Hong at their Korean American elevated soul food destination, Yangban to talk bowls of pork curry, a bubbie's matzah balls, the low hanging fruit of the chicken wing, and all sorts of fine dining and fried things.

The Eagles are in the Super Bowl, so Adam "Shappy" Shapiro enters The Sherman Oaks Food Building to discuss his Philadelphia soft pretzel passion. The fellas talk Ryan Seacrest's role in the origins of this salted dough story, Wetzel's and Auntie Anne's vs. Shappy's, and some extremely personal soft pretzel condiment choices, which may disgust you. Then, Jordan and Shapps talk with Air Jordan all-star Jerry Greenberg about his Matū cheesesteak and the Super Bowl collab between these two Philadelphian food icons of Los Angeles. Plus, Jordan give Kansas City some love by naming his top L.A. BBQ spots and what to order from them for the big game.

The fellas returned to the just re-opened and new look Angler, and break down the redesigned menu, space, and vibes. Plus, Jordan becomes Max for a week, which doesn't go well, and Max decided to not post a review on his (still) unverified Instagram account even though he's become a famous food critic.

Jordan finally revisits Stros aka Mastro's, a restaurant that broke his heart years ago, to see if it will strikeout again. Max gets an article written about him and his restaurant critiques, but will it lead to IG verification? And the fellas review a recent visit to the new-ish hot Southern restaurant Dunsmoor to decide if it's worth the drive.
