Summary
The girlies break down the establishments that plague our neighborhoods and corporatize our lunch hours: fast casual restaurants. From Cava to Chipotle, have we really elevated fast food or just made it more expensive? Digressions include a petty gripes section, the Olympics of transvestigation, and tens of thousands of rewards points.
This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Eliza Mclamb and edited by Allison Hagan. Research assistance from Penelope Spurr.
