Welcome back to The Aftertaste: the podcast where we’re still yapping with our mouths full of caviar... and this time, maybe side-eyeing the menu a little harder.

Priscilla and Madison are back and unfortunately in their “mid but expensive” era, kicking things off with shared and TV book slumps, and the kind of oversensory weeks that send you straight down a TikTok rabbit hole (yes… including some very questionable conspiracy theories you probably shouldn’t Google before dinner).

From there, the girls get into what really matters: food. In this week’s Feed the Group Chat, they break down recent restaurant experiences at three of the most hyped new places in Scottsdale. Vibe-heavy spots with meals that should’ve been a slam dunk but missed the mark (mushy pasta, we’re looking at you). It’s a full debrief on the growing trend of aesthetic-first dining and why “Instagrammable” doesn’t always mean actually good.

On the Wine List, things get a little spicy as they unpack dining red flags and etiquette...including steak temperatures that honestly should be illegal, the psychology of sending food back, and the one behavior that will absolutely ruin a meal.

Then in Spill the Matcha, they dive into a recent infamous restaurant's financial controversy, breaking down the lawsuit, the chaos, and giving their unfiltered marketing takes on what’s actually a “business expense” vs… absolutely not.

They wrap it all up with a chaotic (and deeply serious) palette cleanser...a round of F* Marry Kill: Food Edition, debating everything from dumplings to caviar.

Happy to have you back at the table taste buddies!
