The JDS Variety Hour...Half Hour, is a freewheeling, haphazard hootenany about restaurants, reviewing restaurants, loving them, hating them, hating reviewing them as well as special segments like, “A Not-Yet-Famous Actor Reads Food Erotica" and "This is the Portion of the Show with A Musical Guest!," in which a musical guest will perform a song about food. Think of it as This American Life but without the budget and where every episode our theme is food.
