Episode 1

Saturday, December 27, 2025 • Duration 40:04

A special sneak peek episode - a Christmas offering for the forthcoming 2026 weekly series! S1 E1: Jingles All the Way The journey begins. Bells are jingling on horse sand reindeer and in the hands of Salvation Army Santas, but it's ALSO the season to be jolly about jingles ringing out to move product in an ADHD attention economy. AND THAT'S just the first topic of hot food world tea to be spilled and insider baseball to be analyzed here on AROUND THE TABLE - the show that gamifies discourse on the food business. Hot takes, cold takes, reheated in the microwave takes... and all without any need to tip the service staff. Although these celebrity chefs and food journalists DO appreciate appropriate levels of fawning.

Another sneak episode next week!

& guests Troy Johnson (San Diego Magazine)
