A restaurant's best dishes tell stories.

Their flavors embed themselves in our memory like song lyrics or lines from a movie.

So much so that a little slice of a restaurant's story can become part of our own. I'm Danny Chow and this is shift meal.

A new video podcast from The Ringer where we're sharing a bite and chopping it up with chefs and restaurant people during their off hours.

All episodes of Shift Meel are out now on Ringer Food. Hey everybody welcome

welcome back this is Larry Wilmore you're listening to Black on the air I'm back and I'm back on the air, black on the air and I'm back to black on the air and

been out on the road doing the little show I was telling you guys about and man I had so much fun I have to tell you guys I saw so many of you out there on the road and it was so great seeing everybody like I said it was just a mini tour, just a few cities, but every place I went,

man, people came out, had some fun. We had so much fun in the cities doing a little magic which surprised some people and we had some real funny, you know, I do jokes in the set but the stuff that happens live with the audience is always the most fun stuff. So I just want to really really thank everybody who came out to the shows

So many special people in so many different places here in Hollywood. A lot of my friends

came out at the Improv. Had a great time. we went up to It really is. I had forgotten how great a comedy town that is. We were at

Cobs. My brother David came at me and that was such a fun audience. Really

really wild show up there and what a great room COB is too so thanks to all the people

of COB and at the Improv too. Improv is just classic. That new showroom

they've done so lot with the showroom there at the Improps really good.

Then we were off to City Winery in New York.

And by the way, really special thanks to Morning Joe and the people over there.

It was a short, I was on the show very short amount of time, but it was so impactful. So many people came out to the show after they saw my spot of Morning Joe. So me Krasensky all the people over there

hanging out there for a few quick minutes it was funny because they said so what did you show what are you doing?

I'm like well I'm doing some magic, they're like magic. It was really funny.

But you know, the magic that I do in the show, it's really, it's really integrated into the theme and the comedy of the show and much of it I don't even know some of it you can't even really say is magic it's really it's kind of some mind-bending things. So I think many people were pleasantly surprised.

New York, you know, a lot of friends came out to there and saw a lot of nice people was fun and we played

the Birchmere Theater in Alexandria after that.
