Friends with Benefits IS BACK with The Italians: Francesco and Susan Inguaggiato, owners of Bellino Ristorante Italiano. Our favorite restaurant in town! Support the Show: The Virtual Tip Jar The glorious return of Friends With Benefits had to be big. Our friends Francesco and Susan served a spread in a private room at Bellino that we can't begin to describe. We detail our Italian feast and hear an international love story, the evolution of the restaurant, commitment to the freshest, most local ingredients, and how COVID affected the restaurant business TableTopics Question: If you were going to get fat on your favorite snack foods what would those be?

TableTopics is a game we've picked up along the way that is simply a box of questions designed to create conversation. After a few episodes, the good folks at Table Topics sent us several packs like 'What Would You Do?,' 'Love and Happiness,' 'Not Your Mom's Dinner Party' and more. We draw a random question from a random pack every week and we never see the question before we draw it on the show.  Opening/Closing music: "Sanderburry's Steamworks" Trey VanZandt (YouTube.com/c/treyvanzandt) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License
