Show Notes:

Stephanie and Shelly discussed the current trend involving restaurants that fill empty tables with placeholders, including The Inn at Little Washington (who use mannequins) and a restaurant in Japan (who use stuffed capybaras). Stephanie was especially excited about the capybaras; if you haven't seen the world's largest rodent, we recommend you take a look!
