A New York Episode

Deep dish, hot dogs, Italian beef, Polish sausages, cracker crust pizza, fried shrimp, John Mayer, and the Grateful Dead is what was consumed by Jordan, Uncle Pints, and new Air Jordan shining star Rob Reinis. Thunderstorms, ice cream sundaes, tons of hippies, Jordan dancing, more fried shrimp, tight schedules, and two nights of sleeveless shirts... This episode has it all.  

Dead in Chicago

The food festival of all food festivals is back with in person gluttony and an all-time lineup of restaurants and brands collaborating on dream-like food items and merch, and its Wizard of Oz, Ben Hundreds returns to talk it all. Max Shapiro also joins, and he hates food festivals and loves the Michelin awards, and has plenty to say about the newly announced California culinary awards.

Brooke Glazer is a registered dietician nutritionist who loves food and Air Jordan: A Food Podcast, and has been listening to Jordan talk about his diet, fasting beliefs, and the eating advice he's been giving his listeners.

A Healthy Relationship with Food

Jordan is joined by returning AJ guests Max Winkler, Josh Peck, and Max Shapiro to talk an epic meal at the brand new Culver City pizza, pasta, and gelato house known as Etta.

A Night at Etta

It's not a steakhouse. Matū is a grassfed wagyu experience from Jerry Greenberg, Scott Linder, and Ryan Gianola, who all join Jordan to talk the South Beverly Drive house of New Zealand beefiness. And there will also be mushrooms, chocolate cake, iceberg vs romaine, possibly shrimp, less possibly fire-grilled wagyu fat caps, eventually cheesesteaks, and all the steak you can handle.
