The Stories That Defined 2019

Ah, 2019. It was the year of the celery juice phenomenon, thirsty brands on Twitter, Game of Thrones food anachronisms, high profile restaurant divorces, and Impossible doing the, well... impossible. This year provided all sorts of fodder for our weekly stories segment, and to wrap it all up, we're dedicating an entire episode to the stories that defined 2019: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the downright ridiculous. We asked a bunch of our friends from the newsroom to join us in discussing their favorites, but just a quick disclaimer: we will NOT be discussing chicken sandwiches of any variety. Stories: Burger King Delivered Beef Whoppers to Customers Expecting "Impossible" Liquid Death's Canned Water Will Murder Your Thirst A Mysterious Gut Doctor is Begging Americans to Throw Out "This Vegetable" A Disposable Coffee Cup Made an Accidental Appearance on Game of Thrones Who is the Trump-Supporting Billionaire Funding Momofuku? I Spent Three Hours Getting Colonel Sanders to Fall in Love With Me Will Guidara and Daniel Humm are Splitting Up Why I'm Deleting Delivery Apps From My Phone Guests: Serena Dai (@ssdai) Julia Rubin (@juliarubin) Pelin Keskin Adam Moussa (@adamjmoussa) Hosts: Amanda Kludt (@kludt), Editor in Chief, Eater Daniel Geneen (@danielgeneen), Producer, Eater Produced by: Martha Daniel (@martha_c_daniel) More to explore: Check out more great reporting from the Eater newsroom.

Inside the Christmas Bar Phenomenon

It feels like Christmas bars are taking over. These unabashedly kitschy, tinsel-and-ribbon adorned yuletide popups are slinging good cheer and plenty of booze all over the country, and we wanted to know why people love them so much. So we called up Beth McKibben of Eater Atlanta, where at least 12 different Christmas bars are attracting massive crowds, and Greg Boehm the founder of Miracle, the popup making it all happen. Then, we get into the biggest stories of the week, from McDonald's attempt at a new chicken sandwich, to how one entrepreneur is skirting Trump's tariffs on French wine, and how Edible Arrangements is getting in on the CBD craze. Stories: McDonald's is Desperate for a Trendy Chicken Sandwich Edible Arrangements is Leaning Into the "Edible" Part Trump Slamming France With Tariffs on French Cheese and Wine Guests: Beth McKibben (@TheLazySusan) Greg Boehm (@Greg_Boehm) Hosts: Amanda Kludt (@kludt), Editor in Chief, Eater Daniel Geneen (@danielgeneen), Producer, Eater Produced by: Martha Daniel (@martha_c_daniel) More to explore: Check out more great reporting from the Eater newsroom.

Why We Stan Grocery Stores

Chances are, you've got a favorite grocery store. Whether it's the employees, the childhood nostalgia of a hometown market, or the unique products that make yours great, everyone seems to have that one grocery store they're obsessed with. Stores all over the country have built cult followings, and we wanted to know: what is it about the grocery store that we love so much? Jaya Saxena joins us to lay out her theory, and then we hear from Eater's editors about their favorite places across the country. Did yours make the list? Then, we get into the biggest food stories of the week, from the "chicken parm bro" phenomenon, to an ill-advised take on poutine and how Amanda found herself deep in Daniel's credit card receipts and more. Stories: • How Chicken Parm Became an Aphrodisiac • Are Alt-Milks Taking Out Big Milk? • An Arby's Tried to Ban Children Featuring: Jaya Saxena (@JayaSax) James Park (@JamesyWorld) Meghan McCarron (@MegMcCarron) Erin DeJesus (@asteriskerin) Rebecca Jennings (@rebexxxxa) Hosts: Amanda Kludt (@kludt), Editor in Chief, Eater Daniel Geneen (@danielgeneen), Producer, Eater Produced by: Martha Daniel (@martha_c_daniel) More to explore: Check out more great reporting from the Eater newsroom.
