Merci for the Mammaries

In this episode of Eat Talk Repeat, John returns from his 13th Paris trip with tales of bread worship, pigeon dinners, and French etiquette hacks, while Sam (aka the Prince of Prague) braves pigeon in the Czech Republic—and finds it lacking. Ash reports back from Napa with a spicy take: the food’s overrated and Instagram is to blame. The crew debates tipping culture, laments the rise of artistic sauce smears, and sounds off on systemic mediocrity. Plus, China Mama catches fire, Big Wong is closing, and next week… Ash has some beef with John.
