But I’ll Take a Pinot Grigio

You're not imagining it, Pinot Squad. This episode is a little Jeff-light as our audio was acting a bit wonky. He comes in and out, and has plenty of feelings about the dummies in Hawaii, but I promise it won't be so much Sundi in the upcoming episodes. 
We're also in deep with season 23 of Top Chef, where Jeff is the expert and Sundi is along for the learning (and the food).
The Pinot Pod is leaving London and heading to the city. Emilie will now be applying her expertise to these young, beautiful NYC dwellers as we discuss “In The City,” the spin off of the much debated "Summer House."

The cheftestants are taking their show on the road as they head to Greenville, South Carolina for a high intensity quickfire/elimination challenge combo. Each dish had to be based on Duke's Mayonaise and Sundi is a happy camper. Exhausted and feeling sentimental, the remaining chefs fight to stay upright and take home the major prize. 
We'll take a look at all the cheftestants and see which category of ours they fit into; weeded, seeded or defeated.  It's gonna be a great season, y'all.

Sadly, this is our goodbye to season 4 of Ladies of London... maybe. Nonetheless we get into all the cuckoo takes, the fashion and the way in which American is NOT beating the allegations.

Ahead of the season finale of Ladies of London, Sundi and Emilie welcome Jodi Saunders, editor and publisher of Columbus in the Valley, to give us a little insider info to the culture clash we've been exploring all season. 
We explore  British wit versus American sensitivity, class and celebrity, afternoon tea, and how Southern manners overlap and diverge from British norms.
Jodi shares her experience living between England and Georgia and points and gives a much-needed perspective on the Yanks vs. Brits debate.

It's the finale of Last Chance Kitchen where the winner was compared to a "killer," "Godzilla stomping through Tokyo" and a "woodchipper." Needless to say, the more deserving chef won. We also gave our #TopChef related recommendations for the week and we pulled for our next cook challenge: Dreamy Carolina Queen + sweet potatoes. 
Check out social media to see Jeff slay in the kitchen and Sundi eat more than is lady-like on camera.

It's time for restaurant wars, y'all!  It's Top Chef Season 23, Episode 8, Restaurant Wars, one of the fan's most favorite of the year and this one is great.
 
Two brand new restaurants open up in a matter of hours and it's only mildly infuriating that they also have to do to-go orders.  Just kidding, it's the worst.  The two teams put up a great battle and it's a heck of a war, and one less chef will be moving forward.  What shouldn't move forward?  Any more plans for to go orders.
 
We'll be back Wednesday to discuss Last Chance Kitchen and our cook's challenge.

The dummies are at it again... we thought Vegas was closed. In this episode alone, there's a diary/improv show, one really bad tattoo and a firefighter mom

Emilie dialed in from her very own country estate this week, and the wifi wasn't great a top her very own private mountain. Just kidding... sort of. But we lost her around the 44 minute mark, but check back with us for a mini-episode to cover the ground we lost.
