Food Blogger Alyssa Palladino (@bottomlyssbites) comes by and asks Danny for "Chicken Parm or Eggplant Parm." Why not both?

We jump in with Alyssa telling us how people pronounce her name incorrectly, but not the part of her name you'd think. The two throw out a few nostalgic snacks, how some have fallen off (or never hit the mark to begin with), and Alyssa shares a beloved flavor of ice cream that would be buried deep on a "Most Popular Ice Cream Flavors" list.

Alyssa shifts and tells us about a childhood split between two parents. Yes, there was a divorce, but up until age 9 she lived with her mother. After a tragic accident where her mother passed, Alyssa and her siblings found themselves living with their father and step-mother. At peace with it today, she does look at younger family members who are now the age she was for this traumatic event and think "maybe a 9 year old shouldn't have to deal with that," as well as knowing this has a role in her day to day anxiety.

Food Blogger Vivian Dang comes by and asks Danny to make Thit Kho (braised pork and eggs)

Vivian starts with talking about the dinner entertainment she'll usually watch when eating, and how her video of choice makes it so she never has dinner alone. Vivian tells us too about how her love of food came from a mother that always cooked, and even though she now enjoys life as a food blogger, she herself isn't too big on cooking.

The conversation shifts when Vivian shares a magical 10 minutes she had away from her phone, and the two discuss how she never really has time to relax. Even when she does find the time, Vivian is still thinking about the next work thing to take care of, and after thinking about work for most of her life it's hard to come up for fresh air.

Dinner at Your Place brings The South Shore Boyz some bar style pizzas for what basically is a sleepover where everyone stays up too late and has the giggles. Someone's mom is accused of making bad pizza, a seltzer is chugged so fast it almost becomes a regurgitated guest, and we get an argument for flushing food down the toilet.
