Episode notes
What do you get when two industry insiders dish about Philly restaurants? Sharon Thompson-Schill (host behind Carl dinner parties) and Jenica Cocco (co-owner of Cocco'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?!)
