Do you need to ask your partner if you can double dip? How guilty should you feel about not eating leftovers? We’re taking your calls and helping you settle your food disputes! Joining Dan to help are Ham El-Waylly, author of Hello, Home Cooking, and Pailin Chongchitnant, who just released a tenth-anniversary edition of her book Hot Thai Kitchen. We also puzzle through questions about when to take the best bite of a meal and the merits of salted butter.
