How we go from piercings to food could be called an art. We go further than we have before with gastronomy: “correct” ways of eating things, Georgie’s emphatic response to an ill-tasting beverage, how Geoff tries to be healthy, toast spreads, bread thicker than a pile of pancakes, and educate Geoff on how to cook a soft-boiled egg. Get ready for some (literally) hot takes.
