Get ready to wrap yourself in a cinematic blanket this week as Andy, Ash, Ed, and Stu sit down to give their top five "comfort food" films. These are the ultimate, cozy crowd-pleasers—the ones you can just switch off, sit back, and relax to when you need that cinematic warm hug.Then, the Short Short Film Film Review keeps things brief but intense as the hosts dive into 2026's 80-second thrill ride, Dead Grandma.Finally, the Cruise Cruise sails into the gothic shadows of 1994 as the guys sink their teeth into Interview with the Vampire. Tom trades in his legal briefs for fangs, ruffles, and centuries of existential dread alongside Brad Pitt. Will Lestat's charismatic villainy win over the guys, or will this vampire chronicle leave them cold?With the usual blend of silliness, seriousness, and a vital Scientology Watch update along the way, it's time to take Cruise Control.

In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy dives deep into the psychology of ultra-processed foods, compulsive eating, shame, and why so many people feel trapped in unhealthy food cycles. This conversation goes far beyond calories and willpower. Dr. McCarthy explains how ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods are intentionally engineered to drive repeat consumption, how emotional memories and stress shape cravings, and why shame-based nutrition advice often makes the problem worse instead of better. Topics covered in this episode include: • How ultra-processed foods affect the brain • Why compulsive eating is learned — and can be unlearned • The connection between trauma, stress, and food cravings • The difference between guilt and shame • How marketing and emotional associations shape eating habits • Why “clean eating” language can be harmful • The neuroscience of cravings, dopamine, serotonin, and reward • What real freedom with food actually looks like • Why self-compassion matters in healing If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of emotional eating, binge eating, food guilt, or shame around nutrition, this episode is for you.

Bestselling author Gabrielle Stone joins Kelly for one of the most kindred-spirit conversations Comfort Food has had yet. Gabrielle wrote the cult-favorite memoir Eat Pray FML, its sequel The Ridiculous Misadventures of a Single Girl, and her newest release with husband Tay, Finding You Through Finding Me.Her CliffsNotes story: married almost two years, blindsided by her husband's six-month affair with a 19-year-old. She filed for divorce, fell madly in love with a "well-known Hollywood actor" (Javier in the book), got invited on a month-long trip to Italy, and 48 hours before the flight, he broke up with her. So she went anyway. Six countries, one month, solo. And wrote a book about it.Kelly and Gabrielle dig into the love bombing red flags they would have missed at 28, Gabrielle's subconscious "when I love someone, they leave" wound (she lost her dad at 6 and her high school sweetheart at 18), why the relationship after the divorce often hurts worse than the divorce itself, and what it actually takes to reset your nervous system from toxic love to safe love. Plus where Javier is now (still, apparently, doing the same thing at 50).Honest, raw, funny. The kind of conversation you wish you could have over a bottle of wine.Grab Gabrielle's books, follow her on Instagram and TikTok, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review.

Alan gets candid about the "aging practice" and the sobering clinical hurdles of geriatric dentistry. As both he and his long-term patients cross major milestones, Alan explores the dangerous intersection of polypharmacy, xerostomia, and the "comfort food" trap of sugary hard candies. The discussion dives deep into why the dental "ratchet" only turns one way, the necessity of shifting toward more aggressive, proactive treatment planning for patients over 65, and the complex surgical risks posed by bisphosphonate therapy. It's a heartfelt look at the frustration of watching health decline and a call to action for clinicians to adapt their verbal skills and protocols to better serve their patients in the home stretch.

This hearty soup is full of comfort and takes full advantage of the late-season, cheap tomatoes available right now. As for canned beans, they are pure nourishment – affordable, varied, and yummy. Makes 8-10 servings Ingredients 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, diced 2 carrots, diced 2 stalks celery (or small bulb fennel), chopped 2 litres water 4-6 fresh tomatoes, grated (see note) 1 x 420g can crushed tomatoes 1 bay leaf 5 handfuls of dried pasta shells or macaroni 2 x 400g can mixed beans, drained and rinsed salt and pepper to taste – use plenty of each chopped parsley to serve crusty bread to serve Method In a large pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion, carrot, and celery for 5–10 minutes or until softened. Add water, fresh and canned tomatoes, and bay leaf and gently bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Add the pasta and continue cooking until the pasta is almost cooked —about 12 minutes— before adding in the beans to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add more water to thin if you feel it needs it. To serve, garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lovely crusty bread. Nici's Notes: Use a box grater to grate fresh tomatoes – you will end up with a lovely pulp and the skin leftover which can be chopped and added to the soup. Add chopped chorizo or bacon to enrich. Serve with grated cheese on top. Feel free to add frozen vegetables like peas, corn, etc. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listen to today's podcast... Do you reach for comfort foods when you are frustrated, tired, or stressed out? I do. I crave chocolate covered almonds, coffee flavoured Hagen Daas Ice Cream, and Cadbury mini eggs. These cravings are worse when I am emotional or feeling out of control. We know that cortisol increases food cravings for sugary or fatty foods. It also increases hunger hormones which can lead to us making poor nutritional choices. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Emotional Over-Eating Month: Emotional overeating is a huge topic. Using food as a way of attempting to cope with or control feelings can lead to weight gain and poor nutrition. It is a problem when the emotional overeating leaves you feeling unhappy, guilty, and less than. Eating can distract you and calm you. You may see it as a reward…a way of doing something special for yourself. Start by understanding which emotions increase your cravings. Create a clear picture of what “peace with food” means for you. Visualize yourself at your best and the role you want food and eating to play in your life. Look for ways to indulge and reward yourself without turning to food. One site suggested to look for things that smell good rather than taste good – I am attracted to hand creams and fabric sprays, so maybe that will work for me as a mood booster. Another suggested to look for things that feel good – like a fuzzy blanket or sweater. It is all about addressing the habit to reach for foods that in the end, don't satisfy or leave you feeling less than. Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?

A Return Visit Reveals Restaurant Reality Just months after opening their doors, Amanda and Bill Whitson welcome back Valley Today host, Janet Michael, and SBA Virginia District Director, Carl Knoblock to share the unvarnished truth about launching Clem's Kitchen at Middletown's historic Wayside Inn. While the couple anticipated challenges, the reality of restaurant ownership has delivered surprises at every turn. Nevertheless, their commitment to quality, community, and scratch-made comfort food keeps them moving forward. Click here to listen to the September conversation. The Best-Laid Plans Meet Reality Originally, the Whitsons planned a cautious rollout—breakfast service only, with dinner introduced gradually over several months. However, customer demand quickly rewrote that script. Within just one week of opening in September, they expanded to full dinner service. "It's definitely not what we thought," Amanda admits, though she emphasizes the fun amid the exhaustion. This rapid expansion tested their team immediately, yet it also validated their concept faster than expected. Staffing: The Universal Challenge Throughout the conversation, both Amanda and Bill identify staffing as their biggest ongoing challenge. Unlike Amanda's early days working at the Wayside Inn for Leo Bernstein, today's workforce operates with different expectations and motivations. Consequently, the couple has built their culture around a simple principle: everyone does everything. Bill proudly notes that he washes more dishes than anyone else, not because he must, but because it frees his team to focus on food preparation and guest service. Meanwhile, Amanda reinforces this philosophy during every interview, making it clear that hierarchies don't exist at Clem's Kitchen—only teamwork. Furthermore, the Whitsons recognize that attracting quality staff requires competitive wages. They deliberately pay above minimum wage, understanding that employees who can cover their bills become invested team members. This strategy has paid dividends, creating a staff that genuinely cares about guest experiences rather than simply collecting paychecks. The Social Media Tightrope In addition to staffing challenges, the couple navigates the precarious world of online reviews. As Carl observes, one negative review can significantly impact a new restaurant, and responding requires finesse that's difficult to muster when you're "in the weeds" with cooking and service. Therefore, Amanda and Bill's decision to open slowly—despite the eventual rapid expansion—gave them crucial time to train their team thoroughly before facing the unforgiving court of public opinion. Scratch-Made with a Twist What sets Clem's Kitchen apart, however, isn't just their operational philosophy—it's the food itself. Amanda, who describes herself as someone who "doesn't measure anything," creates dishes that honor classic comfort food while adding unexpected elements. For instance, her twice-baked potatoes feature a crispy tater-tot exterior that Janet still raves about. Similarly, the restaurant's fresh-baked biscuits—which disappeared in just 28 minutes during a recent sausage gravy contest—come with house-made flavored butters and preserves that change regularly. Moreover, the couple prioritizes sourcing raw ingredients over pre-processed products, despite the additional labor involved. Bill emphasizes that while it's easy to source food, finding quality raw product proves much harder. Nevertheless, guests can taste the difference between hand-cut vegetables and frozen alternatives, making the extra effort worthwhile. A Menu That Evolves Initially unplanned, Clem's Kitchen now changes its dinner menu monthly—a practice that emerged from necessity but has become a strategic advantage. This rotation keeps regular customers engaged while allowing Amanda creative freedom to experiment. At the same time, certain favorites remain constant: burgers, wings, and the popular roasted chicken ensure that creatures of habit can always find something familiar. Additionally, the monthly changes help manage food costs, especially when catering events require specific ingredients that can then appear on the restaurant menu. Events: The Economic Engine Speaking of catering, Bill candidly acknowledges that special events "kept us afloat" during January's slow season. The couple brought their established catering clientele from their food truck, and now these clients enjoy the full-service venue with its bar and multiple event spaces. From corporate gatherings to weddings, these events provide crucial revenue that allows the restaurant to maintain quality ingredients and competitive wages during slower periods. In fact, Bill notes that in today's restaurant landscape, "you gotta do two, three things at once" to remain profitable. Building Community, Not Just Serving Food Beyond the business metrics, Amanda and Bill focus relentlessly on creating genuine connections. Bill regularly sits with guests, sharing coffee and conversation regardless of whether he knows them personally. Amanda has introduced personal touches like allowing regular customers to have designated coffee mugs and accepting family heirloom salt and pepper shakers from neighbors who eat there weekly. These gestures transform transactions into relationships. As Carl astutely observes, "Nine times out of ten, people come back for the relationship versus coming back for the food." This philosophy drives everything at Clem's Kitchen, from the warm greeting guests receive upon entering to the tableside chocolate milk service that makes children feel special. Looking Ahead: Spring and Beyond Looking forward, the Whitsons plan to leverage the four-acre property more fully. They're launching Friday night live music, opening their expansive patio (which adds 40% more seating capacity), and actively pursuing a farmer's market partnership. Additionally, they're exploring ways to highlight the Wayside Inn's historical significance, particularly as Virginia celebrates its 250th anniversary. Carl enthusiastically suggests that local economic development could help showcase this pre-Civil War landmark as a destination for history-focused tourism. Furthermore, Amanda dreams of eventually adding a small retail shop where guests could purchase house-made sauces, pickles, and Tricia's celebrated desserts—particularly that coconut cake that has customers asking to take whole cakes home. The Superpower of Execution When asked about their approach, Bill identifies their "superpower" simply: "We figure it out." While they acknowledge that preparation reveals blind spots, their ability to execute under pressure has carried them through every unexpected challenge. From the rapid dinner expansion to managing a 400-biscuit order that disappeared in under half an hour, the couple consistently delivers. Yet beneath this execution-focused mindset lies something deeper. As one longtime community member told Bill while shaking his hand: "It's back. Nice job. It's back." After years of the Wayside Inn lacking its heartbeat, Clem's Kitchen has restored what was missing—not through financial investment alone, but through genuine care, quality ingredients, and unwavering commitment to community. The Bottom Line Ultimately, Amanda and Bill Whitson aren't just running a restaurant—they're rebuilding a community gathering place. While the work exhausts them and challenges emerge daily, their focus remains clear: create experiences that make guests feel welcomed, valued, and eager to return. In an industry where many cut corners to maximize profits, Clem's Kitchen takes the opposite approach, betting that quality, authenticity, and human connection will sustain them through the difficult early years and beyond. As spring approaches and the patio opens, Middletown's historic Wayside Inn stands ready to reclaim its place as the heart of the community—one scratch-made meal, one warm greeting, and one genuine relationship at a time.
