This week, we talk about the big drama behind the scenes of the James Beard awards, and if Monica won after SIX nominations this year! Then, Monica goes back to France to visit her football player son and brings back an encore madcap recap! Have you watched The Bear?! We talk about whether or not we’ve watched this Chicago-based TV show, and why. Finally, Louisa brings a haul from the Sweets & Snacks Expo, for “Will She Eat It” in this season finale episode. We’ll be back around Labor Day.
