I've been thinking about recording a Montreal episode for a while now: the city has a thriving Italian community—and by extension—a rich culinary scene with some of the best Italian food in the country. Tonight, I'm helping you fall asleep by slowly and softly reading menus (in English and French) from two popular Italian eateries: Bossa and Elena.Send me a textSupport the show

All aboard—choo choo! (Amtrak)
Tonight, we're going off the rails! In this episode, I'm helping you snooze by slowly and softly reading menus from Amtrak's onboard dining service. We're getting cozy in first class from Chicago to San Francisco on the iconic California Zephyr—and tucking in to their traditional dining menu, complete with a 3-course dinner. Menu #2 is served onboard the Texas Eagle, a 1,300-mile trip from Chicago to San Antonio.Send me a textSupport the show

Table for one (solo dining in NYC)
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

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
