    Popping Off: Champagne & NYE
    Dec 20 2025
    Tanner and Jerry ring in the new year with an episode dedicated to Champagne and the traditions that surround it. They trace the history of Champagne and how it came to be, including the irony of Dom Pérignon—who famously tried to prevent bubbles, not celebrate them. Then they walk through the right (and wrong) ways to open a bottle, from the classic cork to the dramatic saber, including a story of a celebration that didn’t go as planned.Next, it’s time for a “pop” quiz, testing what we’ve learned so far this year on Flavorphiles. The episode closes with a look at New Year’s traditions from around the world and the foods and drinks that help usher in good luck for the year ahead.

  • Christmas with Flavorphiles

    Christmas with Flavorphiles
    Dec 13 2025
    Tanner and Jerry celebrate the season with a Christmas episode full of traditions, tips, and a little holiday mischief. They start by revisiting the Thanksgiving discussion on how to be a great guest, answering new questions listeners raised after the episode aired. Then they share one of their favorite traditions—Drink of the Day—where each person creates a featured cocktail all Christmas week.

    Next, they dive into “Christmas Crap,” the gadgets and gimmicks companies try to sell you this time of year—and why you don’t need them. In contrast, the Gourmand Gift Guide highlights gifts food lovers will truly appreciate. Finally, the show wraps with a holiday edition of Short Order Cooking, but with a twist: this time Tanner puts Jerry on the spot with rapid-fire Christmas questions.

  • Everyone's a Critic

    Everyone's a Critic
    Dec 6 2025
    Amuse Booze: Negroni

    Tanner and Jerry dig into the world of reviews and why restaurants seem to get more feedback—solicited or not—than any other profession. They explore how chefs handle criticism, including the story of one who famously banned a critic from his restaurant. Then they sit down with D Magazine’s food critic to learn how the job really works: what to taste for, how to write with clarity and fairness, and the backlash that sometimes follows. After that, Tanner and Jerry turn the spotlight on themselves as they read and respond to reviews of Flavorphiles. And finally, Tanner flips the script by offering his own “critiques” of memorable guests who’ve come through his doors over the years.
