Our Unbridled Enthusiasm for Larry David (ft. Chef Brian Tsao‪)‬ Crush Fictionally

You love him. Or maybe you hate him. There really is no middle ground when it comes to Larry David on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. On the latest installment of Crush Fictionally, we take an in-depth look at the fictionalized version of real life multi-hyphenate Larry David. With the help of culinary master, iconic sandwich maker, and our favorite web series star Chef Brian Tsao, we discuss how our favorite character from this quick-witted HBO series can be both polarizing and low key likable. Together we discuss our favorite “Curb Your Enthusiasm” moments, which Larry David predicaments we would most likely find ourselves in, and the ensemble of fictional characters who have captured our hearts. You can watch Chef Brian’s laugh-out-loud and very meta web series “Pro Chef Reacts” today while preparing yourself for Mission Sandwich Social opening in Brooklyn, NYC soon. Mission Sandwich Social will be serving THEE best sandwiches, which frankly we’d hop on a plane for. Hopefully after listening to this episode, you’re encouraged to watch or re-watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. But, if you choose not to, then to quote Larry, all we can say is: (shrug) “Eeh, ok.”

Winning us over and making us cry with laughter this week are: Larry getting roped into an awkward dinner party (Season 1, Episode 3), Larry’s fight with Ben Stiller during Ben’s birthday party (Season 4, Episode 2), and Larry’s spite store based on a petty feud (Season 10, Episode 10). We also have love in our hearts for: Jeff, Leon, Susie, Wanda, and Krazee-Eyez Killa.
