Tonight, we're taking a moment to appreciate one of life's most underrated pleasures: dining alone. This small—sometimes daunting—act of independence and self-care can be deeply fulfilling and a reminder that sometimes, the best company is your own. And while you can eat alone pretty much anywhere, the NYC restaurants whose menus I'll be reading in this episode—Minetta Tavern, Ha's Snack Bar, and Gramercy Tavern—make a singular seat feel extra special.Send me a textSupport the show

Museum munchies (Washington, D.C)
Tonight, we're visiting three Washington, D.C. museums—and their restaurants!

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Vancouver (Charlotte's version)
In this episode, we're heading to Vancouver, British Columbia for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—because Charlotte asked for it! Charlotte is a listener who reached out to me a few months ago; she loves the podcast and kindly requested more BLD episodes. So tonight, I'm helping you (and hopefully Charlotte!) fall asleep by slowly and softly reading menus from four Vancouver restaurants: Their There, Hunnybee Bruncheonette, Caffè La Tana, and Bao Bei.Send me a textSupport the show

Sydney sangas
I missed a week—oops! Life has really been life-ing lately. But I'm back, and I brought sandwiches with me. Not just any sandwiches, though: awesome Aussie sangas! Tonight, I'm helping you fall asleep by slowly and softly reading menus from four of Sydney's most popular sandwich shops: Small's Deli, Cut Lunch Deli, Ol'Mates, and Self Raised Bread Shoppe.Send me a textSupport the show

Matty Matheson
This episode is dedicated to friend-in-my-head and fellow sandwich lover, Matty Matheson. The man wears a lot of hats—literally and figuratively: when he's not playing the loveable handyman Neil Fak on FX's The Bear, or cooking up chaos on his YouTube channel, the husband and father of three is busy running a handful of restaurants. Tonight, I'm helping you fall asleep by slowly and softly reading menus from four of Matty's restaurants: Rizzo's House of Parm, Prime Seafood Palace, Bar Clams, and Standby.Send me a textSupport the show
