This week we're discussing one of the most shocking developments in Aftertaste history at one of Scottsdale's most well-renowned restaurants that ended with mild culinary gaslighting....

We recap Priscilla's birthday celebrations, a Mediterranean lunch so good it involved fresh coconuts and machetes, and a sushi bestie betrayal like no other.

Meanwhile, Madison spent her weekend poolside reading Harry Potter, Priscilla agreed to officiate a surprise Fourth of July wedding, and both hosts found themselves emotionally compromised by Love Island's Casa Amor chaos.

We finish with a palette cleanser of red flag or dealbreaker. Main thesis of today's emotional collapse: medium rare means medium rare, and Love Island may be the last thing uniting America.

This week we're celebrating birthday season and announce Pri's surprise birthday dinner! We review a traumatic teppanyaki reservation experience, a disappointing return to Catch, an unexpectedly incredible ramen find, and the ongoing search for sushi perfection. We also dive into Europeans discovering America via Walmart and Waffle House, mattress break-in periods, conference fatigue, and the emotional toll of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc.

In Spill the Matcha, we're unpacking Love Island chaos, Summer House fallout, Brittany Cartwright's post-divorce glow-up, Taylor Swift wedding conspiracy theories, Knicks mania, and the question on everyone's mind: Bryce and Zac?

Plus: sushi burritos, birthday check-fighting etiquette, Gilmore Girls heartbreak, and a very important game of Price Is Right featuring Polo Bar and Sushi Park menus.

This week we’re running entirely on Disney magic, compression boots, caffeine withdrawals, and whatever emotional support popcorn did for Maddy’s POTS. 🎢✨

We’re recapping our full VIP Disneyland experience, debating whether a mattress can ruin your sex life, surviving questionable hotel room temperatures, and sharing the snacks that carried us through one of the most exhausting days of our lives.

We have a FULL PLATE for feed the group chat as we get into Greek restaurant negotiations, overcooked steak heartbreak, San Diego food highlights, and a local bakery spotlight.

The matcha cup is overflowing with Euphoria finale praises, loser mayor candidate celebrating, Summer House reunion chaos, Love Island first impressions, Dua Lipa’s wedding, and why we're rooting for an Off Campus star's recent break up. We finish up with a very producer Joe coded game of smash or pass - 90s dinner table edition!

Come hungry, come tired, and as always, leave fed, taste buddies! 🍪🎙️🏰

We also get into omakase highlights, pasta discourse, tiny water cups, expensive brunch culture, Gen X’s inability to properly .... (any guesses?), and why sometimes spilling tea is actually self care.Come hungry, come nosy, and as always, leave fed, taste buddies!

This week we’re reporting back from two VERY different weekends away: a royal wedding in Chicago and a California taco tour powered almost entirely by burritos and date shakes ✨ Plus, Producer Joe earns flight hero status.

We’re breaking down all the foodie highlights from the weekend (Small Cheval, Barbusa, Tacos El Gordo, deep dish discourse, life changing Brussels sprouts, and an Oreo milkshake that healed us spiritually), spiraling over hotel alarm clocks and overpriced mocktails, and giving our full unfiltered Met Gala takes ...best looks, worst looks, and yes… wet drapery discourse included.

Also on the menu: Spencer Pratt for mayor, Mormon Wives drama, Spirit Airlines chaos, and a VERY serious game of Marry Fuck Kill.

Come hungry, leave fed taste buddies. This episode is basically a tasting menu 🍝✈️✨

We kick off with book club avoidance, lash lift napping as self-care, and the return of extensions = return of self. Balance. In Feed the Group Chat: at-home pizza night , a deep appreciation for Indian food, Korean lunch spreads that deserve their own fan club.

On the Whine List: a full Costco identity crisis and summer birthdays in Arizona? Financial warfare.

Spill the Matcha is STACKED. We’re breaking down the reunion leak and we get into Euphoria, where the vibes are… aggressively male-directed.
