Jordan and Max answer questions from the audience covering the Thomas Keller French Laundry incident and his bong move, rip Gigi's and the saddest closure, Baby Bistro thoughts, Max hates a few restaurants, Costco shrimp, guys named Kim, bartenders loving and hating Jordo, no frills options, bringing restaurants back from the dead, a Sunset Strip debate, wine list value navigation and poison budgets, cheese on cheesesteaks and another Jerry G request, how to handle a hairy 3 Michelin star dessert, ai restaurant support, are the fellas pricks in the DM or not, NBA predictions, more Sphere talk, ketchup and food rules, not being allergic to dairy in Los Angeles, and Memorial Day eating advice.
Jordan and Max review a recent trip to Smorgasburg where Max received his first lesson in the chicken shawarma wrap that Los Angeles has been loving to inhale lately. It was also Max's first trip down to the 'burg on a Sunday afternoon, and it was perfect food festival weather, undercooked di Reccos, eating like a SNL Conehead, unsolicited advice rules, and parking lot weed smoke. Then, Jordan sits down with Chef Yaz and Farhad from Miya Miya, the masterminds behind the chicken shawarma wrap that's got the city eating like true Jordanians, and they talk steakhouse origins, In-N-Out influences, how they f*cked Jordo, secret menu moves, and a Miya Miya restaurant is on its way to West LA.
This week on Toilet Radio, Joe and Jordo watch the first part of Sam Dunn's impressive 2011 documentary series Metal Evolution.

But that's not all: We're also talking about discontinued energy drinks for reasons I cannot really ascertain. Folks, this is a very good one. If you enjoy it, please tune into the Patreon later today for the second part in this series as we talk about early metal in the US and the UK.

Jordan finally spent some money on sushi, exploring the world of luxury Los Angeles fish and rice at Morihiro, where the Atwater Village Michelin star Japanese restaurant sent him though all the emotions. And while Jordan was enjoying fried eggplant covered in Santa Barbara sea urchin and perfecture prawn nigiri, Max visited the opening weekend of Stella West Hollywood's brunch, where the eggs had to make sense and the pastries hit just right, all while betraying Jordan once again. Plus, real estate promo codes, the two Mori-san dishes that turned it all around for Jordo, a new West LA sushi that made Bubbles' list, and Hector is the only side hustle that seems to matter.

Jordan and Max talk the recently announced California Michelin guide, all the stars, and how Los Angeles fared. Plus, Oxalis may not be back, but Max is cooking again, and he shares a few recipes his lucky lady has been enjoying; and where many of the ingredients are coming from, which happens to be a market where Jordan loves the parking, but needs to learn what Tutti Frutti is. Then, it's another trip to the Fontainebleau for grateful Jordan, where the steakhouse almost ruined a night at The Sphere, Bagelmania was experienced, eating regrets were had, and of course the waters were celestial.
Ellie Pashley and Benita Willis join Brady to talk through the Women's 1500m heats, Steeple Heats, 800m Final, and Women's 5km. Jordo from Paris also calls in and we take talk back calls.
