Episode description
I took a real Italian to Buca di Beppo!
- We're joined by comedian Mike Perkins to dive into inauthentic Italian slophouse, Buca di Beppo
- Hear all about the Pope's room, the "vulgar" decor, and the fact that Buca's founder literally intended to "poke gentle fun" at Italians in this week's Eat Deets
- Learn the rather interesting translation of Buca di Beppo
- Harrison Augustine 💸 Arrylius XIV is anti-work
- You could have bought the entire franchise for a few million dollars...
- The Mother's Day debacle is detailed in this week's Yelp from Strangers
