Arienne and Joe discuss the backlash against The New York Times' Top 100 Restaurants list and announce a new podcast about food history.

The New York Times released their list of the 100 Best Restaurants in New York City, and people are in their feelings about it. Arienne and Joe sit down to give their thoughts on the backlash, what they did and didn't like about the list, and why former Chef’s Cut guest Ligaya Mishan deserves some grace.
