The director and writer Seth Zvi Rosenfeld also joins us to share his vision during what was a very uncertain time in 2021 when the project was filmed. Truly a neighborhood institution after 30 years, we talk to Bea & Julio about what keeps them going, their committment the farmer's market, Julio's dislike of the word "hospitality", the importance of community & connection and why you are coming for the "grumpy service" and "terrible food".

    Taste Buds! Welcome to our first episode with a RETURN guest! Not only does award wining sommelier Tira Johnson (Chez FiFi, Sushi Noz) return BUT she is joined by another award winning sommelier AND restaurant owner of SMITHEREENS, Nikita Malhotra. Yes, that's 2 badass women in wine on 1 couch. How did we get so lucky? We cover a lot of terroir this episode; from the current state of food media and reviews, to how they each approach creating their wine lists, "BURGUNDY BROS", the oldest bottles they have ever drank and their go to karaoke songs. Plus, UGLY BABIES! THE BEST OYSTERS EVER! ANNNNNNND we play a very silly game we made up called SIP OR SPIT! Dolly also makes an appearance so you might wanna watch this one for the dog alone.

  • S3 Ep 28: Sarah Morrissey
    Aug 27 2025

    This is a spicy one so grab the milk! Sarah Morissey is a leader in the NYC bartending world. This bish is a creative force and one helluva human. Sooooo it sucked that we had to discuss her unfortunate recent firing bc of a substack she wrote that showed nothing but love to her place of work. Do you agree or disagree with the decision? BUT Sarah is already plotting her next move so listen to find out what she's up to. Lala also brings her male grooming preferences into the convo, Judith admits the sex acts she would perform on Colin Farrell and we get so much good shit from Sarah. Find out how her career started and why she never wants to make a Paper Plane ever again. @mozzy_sticks_87

  • S3 Ep 27: Lala & Judith ( we are our own guests)
    Aug 20 2025

    Welcome back to PUT IT IN MY MOUTH, the irreverent food podcast where nothing is sacred...except snacks. This week, we are flipping the script; your usual hosts, Judith & Lala are putting themselves in the hotseat. The ladies talk about how they stumbled (staggered?) into the hospitality industry, the travels that made them hungry (hungriER?), their most delicious food moments, and what's really doing it for them in the NYC restaurant scene. Plus, the question on everyone's mind...has either succumbed to the labubu trend? Stick around to hear about Lala's perimenopausal chin hair and Judith's old age gripes about restaurants being too damn loud.

  • S3 Ep 26: Chef Ilan Hall
    Aug 13 2025

    This week, we have Chef & food personality Ilan Hall in the building. His food has been described as "confrontational" and "designed to alienate as many people as possible". So naturally, we had to have him on the pod. Not only do we talk food but we play a ridiculous game of boyband "F$CK, MARRY KILL", why David Chang blocked him on IG, the MOST controversial episode of TOP CHEF in 22 seasons starring HIM and why NO ONE should ever open a restaurant EVER. Plus pop music and his take on the Kendrick/Drake beef. It's a spicy one.

  • S3 Ep 25: The Corona Brothers; Corona Trattoria Sicily
    Jul 30 2025

    This week, we attempt to not offend an entire country! All the way from Sicily, Alessandro & Orazio Corona of Corona Trattoria in Palermo charm the hell out of us. These brothers have mastered the art of hospitality, wine and brotherly bickering all while having one of the most charming restaurants on the island. We get into the family business, Sicilian pride, what they think of Italian food in the states and if Italians actually say "MAMMA MIA" ! Open wide, we are going to Italy!

  • S3 Ep 24: Chef Yara Herrera; Hellbender
    Jul 23 2025

    Chef Yara Herrera joins us this week, the powerhouse behind one of NYC's coolest and most delicious restaurants; Hellbender. A first gen Mexican-American & fine dining alum, Yara has taken everything she learned at Spago, Providence, Momofuku Ko and flipped it into something entirely her own. She's all about honoring her roots while rewriting the rules. Listen in as we talk cooking with Martha Stewart, interrupting David Chang during a private moment, why ketchup is torture and the pressure of opening her first restaurant, that came with quite the pivot. @yaraherrerayara
