Sharing an episode of the new podcast Expense Account. We all know eating out in New York has become an extreme sport. If you treat dining out like a full-time obsession—and care about the scene just as much as what's on the menu—you need to listen to Expense Account.

Expense Account uses food as an entry point into bigger conversations about restaurants, culture, taste and how it all relates to life and the world at large.

Hosted by J Lee, food critic at Emily Sundberg’s Feed Me media empire, J has one million opinions about food. But since he wants to hear everyone else’s take, J will talk to chefs, writers, musicians, actors and more. Like writer Molly Baz, chef Carla Lalli, and PBS host Pati Jinich. You’ll hear about their best meals and worst meals.
Favorite spots around the world. And you might even get a peek inside their fridges to find out how they're really eating. The conversations will start with food, but will always wind up somewhere else, because food is culture, and everybody eats.

I’m going to play the first episode for you now. In it, J Lee talks with chef and author Carla Lalli about her journey from Shake Shack to Bon Appetit, her new cookbook, and why we should eat our feelings.

Note from Kenji:
"Hey everyone. It's Kenji, and I've got something really fun to share with you today. I was recently a guest for a live taping of The Sporkful. It's a podcast I've been on many times before, and it's hosted by my old friend Dan Pashman. We were joined by the legendary Comic Judy Gold, and we're dropping the episode here so that you can check it out. We got into a whole lot of fun stuff, including the state of the bagel and babies eating straight up butter."

Since launching in 2010, The Sporkful has won 3 James Beard Awards & 2 Webby Awards. It's been named one of the 100 Best Podcasts of All Time by Time Magazine for its use of humor & humanity to approach food from varying angles, including: identity, culture, science, history & economics. Not to mention, the lengthy debates on the best way to layer a PB&J. Not for foodies, The Sporkful is for eaters.

In their last episode before book-writing hiatus, Deb and Kenji take your questions, about truly satisfying turkey burgers, no recipe recipes, the correct order of operations for burger, fries, and shake at home, and more.
