Episode 130 - ADHD & Restaurants: Food Theft, Fringes and Plate Boundaries

Ever sat down at a restaurant, looked at the menu, and felt your brain short-circuit? 🍝⚡Welcome back to ADHDville. We’re your ex-mayors, Martin and Paul—two neurodivergent idiots who planned to record a serious episode about the chaos of ADHD life… and then immediately got derailed by Easter eggs, chocolate economics, and the emotional trauma of someone stealing food off your plate.In this episode, we dive fork-first into the glorious, overstimulating, borderline-traumatic experience of eating out with an ADHD brain. From the horror of an over-attentive waiter (yes, the one with the fringe dangling in your beef Wellington) to the deep psychological battle of sharing crisps (spoiler: we don’t), and why a three-Michelin-star spaghetti bolognese costs €80 but somehow ruins your life.We also tackle:🍽️ Why “I’ll have the lot” is a valid order.👀 The silent judgment of couples on phones (while texting each other).🧠 Food snobs, corked wine power moves, and the one dish that decides if a restaurant lives or dies.Plus: a quiz where Martin guesses which sweets Paul didn’t buy, which 12-inch vinyl he’s ashamed of, and whether he really wiped out an entire family of sea urchins in Greece.It’s chaotic. It’s relatable. It’s ADHD in a restaurant booth. Pull up a pork scratching and press play. 🍻🔔 Subscribe for fresh ADHD chaos every Tuesday. Be fucking kind to yourself.
