"If you are a fan of Anthony Bourdain, aren't we all? He apparently loves halo-halo, so I'm excited to try it for the first time."
"That's delicious. It's really, really good. It's sweet, but it's not crazy. There's all chewy bits in there. Jellies, jackfruit, red kidney beans, all kinds of things down the bottom that I'm just not gonna be able to get to for a few moments."
"The mango ice cream is excellent. It's a really strong mango flavor. And the sweet potato brownie is good. It's weird. It's weird, but it's good."
