Episode 344 - Dan Ahdoot

Dan Ahdoot joins Tom Papa to talk about the accidental making of his new comedy special, Yes, I Am Falafel Phil, and the challenge of keeping proven material alive. They also get into wine snobbery, a spectacular dinner with Ralph Macchio, Broadway disappointments, New York food lines, and the pleasures that no sleep score can measure.
Dan's book UNDERCOOKED is out now. His special YES, I AM FALAFEL PHIL is out now.
