Jordan and Shapiro visited Boris, who catered a dinner with Pizza Kris' bar pies, which brought the fellas their best bite of the week. Jordan didn't understand Japanese whiskey, but he did enjoy a negroni ala Bubbles, and the filtered water was top notch. Plus, a sleeper dessert, the professional male model, and a discsussion of approved Los Angeles pizzas. Then the boys each list their top ten "unecessary foods," a discussion that all started because of the previously discussed cooked scallops. But before all of that, some upcoming local Dorsia events you need to know about. 

Jordan had a disturbing weekend of eating with very little discipline and he needs to learn after too much KazuNori, a trip to a candy store with his son, the birthday dim sum buffet, a bucket of Magnolia pudding, the darkest pizza moment, more chicken shawarma, slices of pie, a chocolate pastry inside Joan's with his daughter and celebs, and an Emmy's spread of chips and dip, homemade pigs in blankies, tavern style pizza, Diet Coke a plenty, and Susie Cakes. Then, Shapiro reviews recent visits to Budonoki and Yangban, where the chefs' generoisty pushed him over the chubby top with seafood pancakes, wagyu zabuton, mayo a plenty, all the shaved truffles and caviar, and a Cinnamon Toast Crunch sundae. Plus, Bubbles at the celebritiy holiday party, Jordan's Oreo secret, and kids and astronauts are idiots.

Jordan and Max are joined by Peckerman to talk a recent 'tis the season feast at The Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills where over 16,000 calories of Buffalo Blasts, Glam Burgers, and four different flavors of cheesecake were consumed by the fellas. And it's all brown vs. white bread, not enough shimp for Jordan, too much of everything for Bubbles, not like the good old days for Josh, Chicken Bellagio vs. Madeira, everyone's top three CF items, and when a surprise guest joins the table, Jordan's meal takes a frieghtening turn.

The only year end food list in Los Angeles that matters is here, so Jordan and Max talk it all (well, most of it, it's very long), including a top ten breakdown, what exactly "the curve" is, when a beloved chef's personality transcends the food they're putting out, a character on the list who offered Jordan drugs, all the snubs, and the role and responsibilities of a modern day food critic.

This episode has it all: the shocking birthday meal reveal and what was ordered, the even more shocking Shapiro Saffy's snub, two nasty Thanksgiving meals, another trip down to Addison, and enough shrimp & Mexican Diet Coke to drown Jordan.
