They play a brief snippet of the film to demonstrate what they perceive as awkward acting and dialogue.

An anecdote about dining at Charlie Trotter's in Chicago highlights the annoyance of waiters repeatedly claiming a dish was "prepared especially for you by Chef." Dvorak describes confronting a waiter about the practice, arguing the chef likely didn't know they were there. This leads to a discussion on the definition of an "entremont" as a palate cleanser.
