Summary
For this episode, Adrian and Moira talk about gender and food -- specifically about the figure of the chef, visible and invisible labor and masculinity. Their main exemplar is Guy Fieri, the self-declared Mayor of Flavortown, but they also discuss 2022's The Menu, Anthony Bourdain, #MeToo in the restaurant world, and the baffling appeal of Gordon Ramsay. Please note: this is a preview for a Patreon-episode, to hear the whole thing, please go to our Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/InBedWiththeRight.

| 0:13.9 | So, Adrian, this week, I reached out to you and I was like, hey, are we down to record? |
| 0:20.2 | You're doing your episode on Thomas Aquinas, right? |
| 0:24.2 | And you said, well, I might go in a different direction. |
| 0:30.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:30.3 | So we replaced the sainted Thomas Aquinas with the mayor of Levertown, Gaffietti. |
| 0:55.3 | It turned out not to be entirely a Gai F Fieri episode, but it's about the question of gender, the figure of the chef and of cooking and a food. And I thought those are all things we like.

| 1:33.5 | kind of a Trumpy guy. But it's actually a little hard to tell how Trumpy this guy is. |
| 1:38.3 | What he got in trouble for is not really proximity to the Trump extended cinematic universe. |
| 1:43.8 | It is, I don't know if you followed this, |
| 1:45.6 | that he was in the news after a video showing him with the Tate brothers. Oh, God. Manosphere |
| 1:51.9 | superstars and noted human traffickers at a UFC fight. And a lot of fans of his were quite upset by this, |
