The Banter
The Guys discuss the inequities in Father’s Day and Mother’s Day as well as pairing strawberries with the perfect sparkling wine.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys want to speak with writer Sam Gugino after reading his fantastic article about coffee. They talk about its journey from farm to roasting to brewing. After his deep dive, Sam shares five criteria for making the best coffee.
The Inside Track
The Guys chat with Sam about quality coffee and, in typical Restaurant Guys fashion, they don’t choose the lesser variety.
Sam: There are actually two basic different kinds of coffee, Robusta and Arabica. The robusta, the cheap stuff that goes into the cans and supermarkets, actually has more caffeine than the more expensive stuff. So if you really want that caffeine jolt, get the cheap stuff.
Mark: I'd rather have two cups of something good. Is that okay?
