Off the top, Ama & Danita dish about which music icons are giving off okay boomer energy this week, preferred ice types, and breaking news about The View.

Ama is joined by Bettina Makalintal, food + culture writer for Vice, to explore the nuances of cultural appropriation, foodie fandoms, TikTok recipes, and most importantly, who Bettina would choose for her team on Top Chef's Restaurant Wars.
