I'm Rachel Bell and this is your last meal.

The show where celebrities share stories about the foods they love most, and we dig into

the history, culture, and science of those meals with experts from around the world.

Today on the program, Rachel Bloom.

Rachel Bloom is an award-winning comedic actor, best known for co-creating and starring in the show

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. She currently stars in reboot on Hulu. She wrote a book of essays called I Wanna Be

Where the Normal People Are, and she is on tour right now performing her one-woman show. Death,

let me do my special. Rachel loves the Olive Garden. So I called up Marilyn

Haggerty, famous for writing a glowing review of the Olive Garden in her local newspaper.

I would recommend going to the Olive Garden. It's a good place for lunch. Dinner is fine.

They have a bar area in most olive gardens. They serve alcohol.

You can get anything you want at the Olive Garden. More Maryland coming up later in the show,

but first, my conversation with Rachel Bloom.

So, of course, I did my research and I was reading a bunch of stuff and looking at all kinds of podcasts you're on. And you've talked about squatty potty, ADHD, plastic surgery,

your decision to have kids, Jewish grandmothers, summer camp. But I didn't see that you've ever

been on a food podcast.

Is this your first one?

I was on one, a friend's top chef-centric podcast, but that was very about the current season airing.

So this is my first real food podcast. I'm very excited.

Woo-hoo. It's an exclusive, as they say in the biz.
