A restaurant's best dishes tell stories.

Their flavors embed themselves in our memory like song lyrics or lines from a movie.

So much so that a little slice of a restaurant's story can become part of our own. I'm Danny Chow and this is shift meal.

A new video podcast from The Ringer where we're sharing a bite and chopping it up with chefs and restaurant people during their off hours.

All episodes of shift meal are out now on Ringer Food.

Cold open question of the week, Kaz!

What's up, shoes? I'm looking right now at

David Melter's top rated matches of 2008.

2008. 2008. There are one, two, three, four, 5 matches that have a 4.5 star rating, the highest rating that he gave out that year.

I don't even know what the fair question is here. Can you guess two of the people who got four and a half

star matches in 2008? There's a reason why I'm asking so this is actually if you

think about it not there's you know it shouldn't be that hard well it's a melter rating so is Kenny omega one of these people no no no

This is pre-omega-a-a-mega-hayday.

Okay, okay.

Is this uh, hmm,

God damn 2008 was Russell

many uh... 24.

I gotta tell you there's no Russell mania matches on here but there is a no mercy match

and a summer slim match.

Brother, I have no idea. Two of these matches are very relevant.

Number one, Ring of Honor, rising above,

Nigel McGinnis over Brian Danielson.
