Remember Going to Restaurants with your Family? (with Caren Beilin)

This week on the podcast, we are joined by writer, author and professor Caren Beilin! We get into all types of topics on this one, especially our fascination with Caren's Internet detox which lead her to purchasing a TV that plays "Frasier" on loop and a landline that's connected to her phone via Bluetooth. (You can't get much more nostalgic than that.) We also talk to Caren about growing up in Philadelphia and recently moving to our magical homeland of Cleveland and her favorite spots in The Land. Then we get into our topic of going to restaurants with your family as a kid! From fancy seeming spots to the eternity of waiting for your entree and sitting in the dreaded smoking section, we cover all the excitement and disappointment of dining out back when every new eatery didn't look like a Blue Bottle Coffee outpost. Finally in a round of YESTAGLIA OR NO-STALGIA we discuss the return of McDonald's fried apple pie, the upcoming Blair Witch movie reboot and should Pringles really be bringing back Miller Lite-flavored chips and for whom? Be sure to check out Caren's latest novel "Sea, Poision" and maybe you will catch her at Jonah and Vanessa's live podcast at the Cleveland House of Blues on 9/25! (Get your tickets here)
