Is there a certain type of food that you're so passionate about that you encourage strangers at a restaurant to order?
Oh, you have to get the.
This.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.
Over here, you were ordering, and I gotta tell you, you come to this place, you gotta get the blah, blah, blah.
Well, my food is.
I wasn't sure if that was a rhetorical question or not.
I was about to answer it.
Oh, you were?
Yeah.
You just went like you had an inhale, and now I wish it were filmed.
You say that often.
You should film it.
Now, do you want to know what my answer was?
Yes, of course.
No, I wouldn't do that.
And I definitely wouldn't say, you gotta try this.
I never thought I'd be that guy, but I recently found myself doing that at a restaurant.
It was a soup.
It was where they specialize in soup dumplings.
