The Aftertaste

This week on Aftertaste, the girls are in costume serving controversial croissants, lesbian bar meltdowns, and an unexpected allyship with juggalos. Maddy returns from another whirlwind weekend away celebrating family wins and gay Halloween, while Priscilla takes us down the rabbit hole of a lesbian bar's spectacular PR disaster. Plus, a husband who thinks canceling a car wash membership requires reporting bank fraud, pigs in a blanket with generational wealth, a $100 million Scottsdale dining development, and TikTok's ongoing outrage over a really good fig tart. From questionable business decisions to questionable moral compromises in the name of pastry, the girls are proving that no good snack comes without a little controversy.Come hungry, leave fed, taste buddies! 🍸✨Subscribe and follow us:Sub to our Substack: https://aftertastepodcast.substack.com/Sub to our Patreon: / theaftertastepodcastFollow the Podcast on TikTok: @aftertastepodcastFollow the Podcast on Instagram: @aftertastepodcastFollow Pri: @priprihungryFollow Maddy: @sunshineandsoftnessRestaurants Mentioned:📍Arizona:🌯 Tortas Paquimé - @tortaspaquimeofficial📍Los Angeles Area, California:🥪 Si Roma - @siroma.restaurantPremier Sponsor:Amara & Associates: https://azinjuryattorney.comMusic Credit:https://riverside.com – Vienna, Soothsayer, and Nosedive

This week on Aftertaste, the girls are serving luxury, lawsuits, and a little financial trauma. Maddy returns from Vegas with a free lobster and a new career in stadium janitorial services, while Priscilla recounts the (HOW MUCH??) sushi dinner that turned into Wasabi-Gate. Plus, Dancing with the Stars drama, Victoria’s Secret’s $50 million bra, TLC’s questionable history, and enough celebrity chaos to make your head spin. From Michelin-star meals to highway robbery disguised as happy hour, the girls have plenty to whine about.Come hungry, leave fed, taste buddies! 🍸✨Subscribe and follow us:Sub to our Substack: https://aftertastepodcast.substack.com/Sub to our Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheAftertastePodcastFollow the Podcast on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aftertastepodcastFollow the Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aftertastepodcastFollow Pri: https://www.instagram.com/priprihungry/Follow Maddy: https://www.instagram.com/sunshineandsoftnessSIGN THE PETITION: https://www.safeplateact.com/Restaurants Mentioned:📍Gilbert, Arizona:Sable - https://www.instagram.com/sable_boulangerie📍Tempe, Arizona:Roman God of Fire - https://www.instagram.com/romangodoffire📍Las Vegas, Nevada:Gymkhana - https://www.instagram.com/gymkhanalasvegas🍽️ Delmonico Steak House - https://delmonicosteakhouse.com/Premier Sponsor:Amara & Associates: https://azinjuryattorney.comTimestamps:(00:00) Intro(01:03) Appetizer: Dad's 70th in Vegas & Bills Game(03:51) ACOTAR Reread & Crescent City(05:59) Being Trendy Before Social Media(08:57) Feed the Group Chat: Sablé Patisserie(14:51) Roman God of Fire(18:58) Gymkhana Las Vegas(25:28) Delmonico Steakhouse(31:44) Allegiant Stadium Eats(32:42) Whine and Dine: Re-Recording the Pod(33:49) Tiny Restaurant Patio Tables(35:40) Priscilla’s Anonymous Yelp Review: Wasabi-Gate(48:06) Hotel Elevator Keycards & Security(49:12) Spill the Matcha: DWTS W5 Drama & Val Suspended(55:41) Victoria's Secret Fashion Show(58:54) Collin Gosselin Book: In the Shadow of My Eight(01:03:13) Carole Radziwill the Parking Menace(01:04:34) Palate Cleanser: Pick Your CurseMusic Credit: https://riverside.com – Vienna, Soothsayer, and Nosedive

Maddy is still reporting live from Italy, this time with a concussion and an unexpected lesson in Italian healthcare after asking a question no American is emotionally prepared to ask at a hospital… “So… where do I pay?” Back in Arizona, Priscilla has been patiently waiting for Maddy’s brain to come back online because there are significantly more important matters to discuss including Producer Joe’s interpretation of “black tie.”One gala later, Priscilla has discovered both a shocking gap in Producer Joe’s formalwear knowledge and a potential new career selling mattresses that cost more than some houses. Meanwhile, Maddy’s Tuscany personality transformation continues. There are truffles, cheesemaking, saffron honey, an incredible dinner at Demetra Cooking School, a stop at Maccari Montalcino, and yet another food category she’ll probably be unbearable about when she gets home. She also makes a confession about Italian food that no one (least of all Maddy) saw coming.For Whine & Dine, the girls have questions for whoever decided every minor inconvenience in modern life deserves its own app, followed by an official plea to make venue food good again. Naturally, this turns into a very serious discussion about cocktail-hour strategy, the superiority of family-style dining, emergency purse snacks, and what guests will eventually be served when the Aftertaste anniversary party exists outside of their imagination.Then it’s time to Spill the Matcha, where Verity, TSA chairs, Landon Barker and Ashton Earle, and one deeply troubling confession from Alix Earle all make the agenda. Priscilla attempts to catch Maddy up on Dancing with the Stars despite Maddy once again stretching the definition of “watching,” before the girls put some of the millennial and Gen Z zeitgeist on trial in a new Palate Cleanser: Is It Cheugy? Tory Burch Miller sandals, espresso martinis, Starbucks Pink Drinks, and plenty more await their verdicts.Come hungry, leave fed, taste buddies! 🍸✨Subscribe and follow us:Sub to our Substack: https://aftertastepodcast.substack.comSub to our Patreon: http://patreon.com/TheAftertastePodcastFollow the Podcast on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aftertastepodcastFollow the Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aftertastepodcastFollow Pri: https://www.instagram.com/priprihungry/Follow Maddy: https://www.instagram.com/sunshineandsoftnessSIGN THE PETITION: https://www.safeplateact.comRestaurants Mentioned:Montalcino, ItalyMaccari Montalcino – https://www.instagram.com/maccari_puracrocusDemetra Cooking School – https://www.instagram.com/locandademetraPhoenix, ArizonaTaco Viva - https://www.instagram.com/aztacovivaPremier Sponsor:Amara & Associates: https://azinjuryattorney.com
