    Max May Have A Personality Disorder & 3 New Restaurant Visits: The Wilkes, Yhing Yhang, and Cannonball

    A chef's recent email to Max has Jordan concerned, and then the fellas talk dining at new restaurants on the scene, and it's all Brentwood cougars, sweet butters, the Pasadena schlep, shrimp balls, a salt issue, the spoonable pasta, poor Bill Bush, booze enhancing food, and let's stop with the "American bistro" thing.

    Restaurant workers of Los Angeles and beyond have written in with the biggest pet peeves they deal with when serving diners, and it's all splitting bills, booze behavior, showing up early and late, too much talky, not enough tippy, stacking dishes, eager early birds, knowing the owner, crying kids, filming the staff, and Jordan is ordering his steak like a monster apparently.

    The Biggest Restaurant Pet Peeves

    Jordo and Bubbles go all in on the worst restaurant behavior, and it's all complaints on memorizing the order, no more telephones, bad instincts, additional tip lines, chef bonafides foreplay, waiting for your entire party, molesting tables, overcooked meats, butter temperatures, clearing plates, bad corkage, water semantics, sticking to ya culture, and way too much talky. But first, the fellas are joined by the PHD, who reviews recent trips to Muse and Peter Luger.

    New Restaurants We Need To Visit

    Lots to eat in Los Angeles lately, so Jordan and Max talk their options: from style dining in Beverly Hills, to making a West Adams kebab voyage, to celebratory meals all over, and Jordan gives a first taste tease of the Larchmont diner everyone is anticipating. Plus, Max went to Ceviche Project without a jealous Jordan, another trip to Alto, Budonoki is somehow getting better, Eduardo's is back from the dead, pizza is on the menu, and Hector is healing.

    Baby Bistro Hype, Genghis Cohen 2.0, and North America's 50 Best Restaurants

    Welp, another ridiculous list has hit the food media landscape, so Jordan and Max break all the losing and winning down. But first, Genghis Cohen has finally re-opened in a new location and the fellas have the shrimp toast and orange chicken first look featuring a member of Jordan's family.
