What do you get when two industry insiders dish about Philly restaurants? Sharon Thompson-Schill (host behind Carl dinner parties) and Jenica Coco (co-owner of Coco's Gelato) join host Kae Lani Palmisano to set the record straight about tipping culture, defend the legitimacy of tuna melts, and separate fact from fiction about the city's most popular chefs. (Was Provenance's chef Nich Bazik really in a stomp-clap-hey band?!)

Host Kae Lani Palmisano gets caught in the friendly food-fight crossfire as dining buddies Brou Quinn and Jacob Fink compete for the coveted title of Toughest Critic. This week, it's all about Meetinghouse's medieval tavern vibes, which Paffuto panzerotti reigns supreme, and the best strategy for breaking up with someone in a restaurant (and how to escape out the back).

Christina Mitchell and Camille Mola join host Kae Lani Palmisano to dish about Philly's best martinis and Caesar salads, discuss the economics of "beeflation," and clap back at negative reviews of their favorite restaurants.

NOTE: This episode was recorded before Hiroki announced it was having its last service on August 8th. I've decided to leave the mention in because Everyone's a Critic in Philadelphia is all about celebrating restaurants, whether they're open or closed.
