Banter Show (Angry vegans, NyQuil chicken, Miami food halls)

Angry vegan diners, Miami food halls and why the FDA had to tell people not to cook chicken in cough syrup required an all-banter episode of La Ventanita, the weekly Miami Herald food podcast.

Co-host Amy Reyes, Miami.com’s editor, had barely asked our guest last week, Ani Meinhold. who were the toughest diners to accommodate when she blurted out, “vegans.” Food editor and co-host Carlos Frías grabbed 26 seconds of her answer for a little tease on Instagram Reels, and, hoo boy, did the plant-eating internet get angry about it.

Today we got into it about why entitled diners — of any lifestyle — are the worst diners. Plus we discussed:

• A Mexican restaurant and Bahamian rooftop bar at the remodeled Mayfair in Coconut Grove
• Why Vicky’s House milkshake bar in Coconut Grove was a viral hit but had to close
