About this episode

Recently, "Naked Lunch" was nominated in the Best Food Podcast category in the 2023 iHeart Radio Podcast Awards which will be announced March 14th. This week's delicious episode brings together Phil and David with another of this year's excellent nominees this year in the same category -- Dan Pashman, the charming host of the popular, James Beard-award winning "The Sporkful" podcast. They have a fun, freewheeling, bi-coastal discussion for foodies everywhere, with lots of hot deli talk. Phil and David enjoy lunch for the quintessential L.A. deli Nate 'n Al's which has been serving Beverly Hills since 1945. While Dan dines on food from a deli closer to his home, in Pastrami N Friends Kosher Restaurant, Delicatessen and Caterers in Commack, New York. Dan also shares his long career path to "The Sporkful" and his creation of Cascatelli pasta by Sporkful.
