Mad Food

Kevin Noparvar is How Kev Eats on TikTok and Instagram, the food reviewer and chewer bringing you the latest drops and old classics of everything chewable in LA and beyond. Kev joins Jordan to run a review of the newly opened chicken tender Mecca, Raising Cane's; plus the fellas talk all types of burritos, even more fried chicken, tuna melts, McDonald's, and living the life of a food influencer.

Jeremy Adler is a jack of many restaurant trades, so he enters the food building to discuss one of his projects, the Southeast Asian homey hotspot, Cobi's in Santa Monica. The fellas talk menu highlights, the alchemy of a hit, and Branzino possibly not being a myth. Jeremy also works with the restaurant reservation company Resy, and some well-deserved OpenTable slander follows.

Jordan thought it was crazy he had never been to Nancy Silverton's Italian leaning steakhouse, The Barish, so he met up with Shapiro on Hollywood Blvd to experience something that isn't exactly The Mozzaplex, though the fried pizza dough, deconstructed tartare, NY strip, and all the gelato didn't exactly disappoint. The fellas discuss the hits and misses, the pitfalls of these type of big name chef ventures, steak in L.A., The Horse of course, and where they'll eat next.

Jordan and Shapiro talk their recent food focused trips to Vegas and Spain, including top 5 resturants and best bites on each journey. Plus (and maybe most importantly), the fellas offer their advice on how to survive hyper food tourism travels and the pain of the stuffed face.

Josh Peck and Joe Vulpis are friends, food lovers, online stars, and co-hosts of the Male Models podcast. Jordan sits down with the fellas to discuss mukbang culture, Joe's love for Josh, their weight struggles, going to the doctor, tanning, and one hell of a night out at the new Woodranch Brentwood location.

Liwei Liao of The Joint in Sherman Oaks is the most talked about fishmonger in Los Angeles because of his dry-aging of seafood for restaurants and at home chefs across the city, changing the pre-conceived notions of how we should want to eat. Jordan, Max, and Liwei discuss beating the shit out of fish heads, blood stanking, Branzino being a myth (of course), fish trivia, if talapia can be worthy, and Liwei's "fresh is boring" lifestyle.

The Infatuation LA's 25 Best Restaurant list and the state of LA food media, Animal is back, tipping etiquette, Daniel Boulud is coming, Chicago eats, Goop, our favorite LA Italian, no sex with the staff, Max's thoughts on "Can Shapiro Actually Cook?", and what can Jordan actually cook?

Eleven luxuriously conceived fine dining courses inside the Oxalis Palace will determine one of the biggest mysteries in Air Jordan history: can Shapiro actually cook? Ben Hundreds and Jordan will eat, review, and finally render the answer once and for all.

Paul James and Jon Buscemi are the team behind those sandwiches, that merch, and the brand bringing a much needed New York energy to Los Angeles. Jordan sits down with the fellas to discuss how it all started, NY vs LA Italian, BEC rules, Travis Scott, salad pizzas, opening in Studio City, and Jordan's top 5 Uncle Paulie's sandwiches.

Once thought of as the worst eating holiday on the Jewish calendar, Jordan and the tuna fish queen Kate Burr ask Shapiro to consider if Passover is an underrated food celebration. Evidence includes salted butter on matzah, Jewish milanese, no time for balls, gefilte greatness, and crack not being wack.
