What up, my Gourmet Jabronis! I’m your host, Kae Lani Palmisano, and Welcome to Everyone’s Critic in Philadelphia, the game show/talk show where the city’s most opinionated foodies square off to see who knows our restaurant scene best.

Here’s how the game works. We have two Philly tastemakers. They compete in three rounds of trivia and debates, and the person to rack up the most points — which I dish out randomly throughout the game — wins bragging rights and the coveted title of Toughest Critic!

    Host Kae Lani Palmisano gets caught in the friendly food-fight crossfire as dining buddies Brou Quinn and Jacob Fink compete for the coveted title of Toughest Critic. This week, it's all about Meetinghouse's medieval tavern vibes, which Paffuto panzerotti reigns supreme, and the best strategy for breaking up with someone in a restaurant (and how to escape out the back).

    Christina Mitchell and Camille Mola join host Kae Lani Palmisano to dish about Philly's best martinis and Caesar salads, discuss the economics of "beeflation," and clap back at negative reviews of their favorite restaurants.

    NOTE: This episode was recorded before Hiroki announced it was having its last service on August 8th. I've decided to leave the mention in because Everyone's a Critic in Philadelphia is all about celebrating restaurants, whether they're open or closed.

    Amanda Marie Barr (@phillyfoodandbarrs) and Mackie Ermocida (@mackies_meals) join host Kae Lani Palmisano (@kaelanisays) for a rousing discussion about which tomato pie reigns supreme in Philly, secret BLT drops, surviving 12 hours at Sonny's Cocktail Joint, and how to live your best life in the Mawn lunch line (it involves lawn chairs, a good book, and some bagged wine).
