    With Dry January in full swing, Tanner and Jerry start the episode with a spirit-free Tea Old Fashioned that proves you don’t need alcohol to make a serious drink. Jerry shares a few kitchen woes, which leads Tanner to tackle one of the most common questions home cooks ask: what knives do you actually need—and which ones can wait.

    Next, they look ahead to the coming year with a breakdown of emerging trends in cocktail bars and how drinking culture continues to evolve. Short Order Cooking returns with a rapid-fire round on kitchen myths we’re officially leaving behind in 2025. The episode wraps by busting one last misconception—that chefs eat the way they cook. Inspired by a recent article in the Dallas Morning News, Tanner and Jerry talk about how chefs really eat at home—and why snacking is universal, no matter how good you are in the kitchen.

    Tanner kicks things off by sharing the relief of passing the Level 1 Sommelier exam, and why the experience of taking the test was harder than the questions themselves. From there, the conversation heads to the movies as acclaimed film critic Richard Crouse joins the show to break down the best films about restaurants and food culture. Tanner weighs in on how accurate those portrayals really are—from kitchens and service to the realities of restaurant life.

    The episode wraps with a Fantasy Feast, where Tanner and Jerry build the ultimate menu made entirely of famous fictional foods, from Butterbeer and Krabby Patties to Scooby Snacks—proving that even imaginary dishes deserve serious consideration.

    New Year, Same Us (But More Flavor)
    Jan 10 2026
    Tanner and Jerry take a look at how the way we drink is changing. They discuss how more people are cutting back on alcohol, the rise of THC beverages, and what those shifts could mean for bars and restaurants moving forward. From there, the conversation turns to the latest diet traps—how good intentions can lead to healthy but flavorless meals, and how to avoid sacrificing taste in the name of wellness. Mary Berg returns to the show to talk about Mary Makes It Easy, and how she makes cooking look so effortless. The episode wraps with a conversation about New Year’s resolutions and some for Flavorphiles.
