Buca di Beppo (Part One: Eat Deets) feat. Mike Perkins

I took a real Italian to Buca di Beppo!

  • We're joined by comedian Mike Perkins to dive into inauthentic Italian slophouse, Buca di Beppo
  • Hear all about the Pope's room, the "vulgar" decor, and the fact that Buca's founder literally intended to "poke gentle fun" at Italians in this week's Eat Deets
  • Learn the rather interesting translation of Buca di Beppo
  • Harrison Augustine 💸 Arrylius XIV is anti-work
  • You could have bought the entire franchise for a few million dollars...
  • The Mother's Day debacle is detailed in this week's Yelp from Strangers
  • The full review comes next week
