How Much Should You Tip At A Coffee Shop?

from The Sporkful · host SiriusXM Podcasts

How do restaurants decide who gets the worst tables? Why are Americans obsessed with the German supermarket chain Aldi? And should iced coffee only be consumed in hot weather? We get into all that and more in our Salad Spinner! Dan is joined by Deena Shanker, who covers food and health for Bloomberg Businessweek, and Elazar Sontag, food critic at The Washington Post. They discuss why Diet Coke’s biggest rival may be Coke Zero, and weigh in on the latest wellness product: cookies.    The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, and Jared O'Connell.
