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.

Episode 4 starts with special guest Bob Marton, who joins Josh and Gabby to air out his biggest restaurant pet peeves. From there, the crew recaps their experience at Beefbar, including a deep dive on the famous croque sando and whether it’s worth the buzz. They close things out with a NYC bagel conversation, focusing on Popup Bagels — Josh shares why Popup should expand into a more experiential concept, while Gabby makes the case for it being her number one restaurant in New York.

Josh and Gabby kick off Episode 3 with a classic Fork This City pet peeve: restaurants that only make a limited amount of a menu items per day. Then it’s time for Beli Court, where two NYC institutions go on trial. Gabby defends La Pecora Bianca as a consistently solid go-to, while Josh argues it’s basic and far from the city’s best Italian. Finally, they tackle Hillstone, a beloved favorite, and debate whether any place that safe deserves a 9.5+ rating.

Josh and Gabby take a bite out of New York, starting with their highly anticipated review of Il Cantinori — but things didn’t exactly go as planned. From questionable seating to spotty service and underwhelming dishes, the hype didn’t match reality. Then, they dive into Minetta Tavern’s famous burger, navigating the chaotic hostess and bartender scene to see if it lives up to the legend. All the wins, all the fails, and the stories you can’t get from the reviews.
