Josh and Gabby finally tackle one of NYC’s hardest reservations: Don Angie, home of the famous lasagna pinwheels. We break down whether the hype is actually worth it. Then, after walking the entire length of Manhattan, we land at Industry Kitchen for what may have been one of the worst meals we’ve ever had — from the food to the service, nothing went right. Expectations, exhaustion, and disappointment are all on the table in this episode of Fork This City.

Gabby almost puts her foot in the au jus. We brave the freezing NYC weather for a one-hour wait at Salt Hank’s to see if the French dip lives up to the hype. Then, it’s Fork Yeah or Fork No, where we break down green flags and red flags at NYC restaurants. Finally, we chat with Benji, the co-founder of Benji’s Buns in the West Village, to get the inside scoop on cinnamon rolls, flavor development, and what it really takes to run a food business in New York City.
