Episode 56: Dave the Santa, The Tasties Recap and Christmas Morning Memories

We're feeling a little ~crispy~ after an epic bash mere hours before recording, but it was 100% worth it to power through and recap the awesomeness, and of course we had to thank everyone who joined us at the 2nd annual Delicious City holiday party! Also on the show:  Dave plays Santa and gives out gifts to everyone on his "nice" list. Marisa's gift is very Philly and Eli's looks prehistoric Dave recounts his experience as our official party Santa, which was far better than his days as Santa at K-Mart when he was a teen Memories of our favorite holiday gifts as kids, and the tradition of putting oranges in stockings THE TASTIES! We run down the list of nominees of our first-ever Delicious City awards (all of them worthy of your patronage!) and reveal the 2023 winners. We also recap whose trophy acceptance that stole the show… Thank you to all who voted! Best Bites: Most are from the rockstar vendors at the holiday party, but Marisa has a few veggie-based honorable mentions too Wit Wez: Why do people leave low ratings on Yelp and Google reviews because of something stupid (that usually isn't even the restaurant's fault?!) Food News: Bradley Cooper's foray into the cheesesteak business, a new listening room, and a supper club residency What we're looking forward to in 2024… THANK YOU DELICIOUS CITY FAM for a great year!
