There's also a report on a Madrid pop-up restaurant that showcases regional Spanish cuisine. Lastly, there's a guest appearance by Food Republic editorial director Richard Martin, discussing Danny Meyer's decision to eliminate tipping, the merger of the beer giants behind Budweiser and Miller, and our own report on the rise of hot chicken and fried chicken sandwiches. Check out the latest episode below and read more about "The Menu" here.
