Bottles & Bites Without Borders ·

2025/11/11

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into a controversial take: fine dining isn’t worth the hype — or the price tag. Sandra and I recently visited a so-called “authentic Italian” fine dining restaurant, and let’s just say… it was anything but.

Oh — and they rushed us o...
