Summary

This week, Juliet and Jacoby defend the train worker who served sausage rolls out of the garbage, discuss customers using AI images to get refunds from delivery services, and marvel at British Chinese food. For this week’s Taste Test, they blindly try Kraft, Goodles, and Annie’s to see if they can tell their mac & cheese’s apart. Finally, they share their Personal Food News and react to some Listener Food News. Do you have Personal Food News? We want to hear from you!
