Part 1: Daniel Taking Food
Dale, Bob, and Matt discuss ‘Food Gate’ – Daniel Gallo’s long-standing practice of taking large quantities of food meant for the show home with him. The conversation reveals Daniel has been taking everything from 15+ Rudy’s tacos to entire Schlotzky’s trays, storing them in bags, and sometimes going weeks without grocery shopping.
