Summary

(00:00) Dave opens the episode by shucking oysters and making a specialty: kimchi consommé (2:07)! He then talks about his recent trip to Europe and eating his way through Copenhagen and Bath with his family (22:42). Copenhagen and its food scenes have matured a lot; maybe so has Dave. (40:46) He finishes with a MOIF on the important things: Batman, airplane food, and samples.
