Show Notes
Tanner kicks things off by sharing the relief of passing the Level 1 Sommelier exam, and why the experience of taking the test was harder than the questions themselves. From there, the conversation heads to the movies as acclaimed film critic Richard Crouse joins the show to break down the best films about restaurants and food culture. Tanner weighs in on how accurate those portrayals really are—from kitchens and service to the realities of restaurant life.
The episode wraps with a Fantasy Feast, where Tanner and Jerry build the ultimate menu made entirely of famous fictional foods, from Butterbeer and Krabby Patties to Scooby Snacks—proving that even imaginary dishes deserve serious consideration.

Whatever happened to the dinner party? Have we gotten too busy, too intimidated, or just too comfortable ordering takeout to invite friends over for a proper meal?
This week on Flavorphiles, Tanner and Jerry are back with a completely new Thanksgiving episode built for everything that happens after the basic advice runs out.
For Talk Like a Pirate Day, Tanner and Jerry dig into the surprisingly strange food and drink history of life at sea. We start with what pirates actually ate, why their diet could sometimes give them an advantage over the Navy, and how scurvy became one of the biggest threats aboard ship. That includes James Lind’s famous experiment testing cures ranging from cider and vinegar to seawater, citrus, and a truly questionable garlic-and-mustard concoction.
