At The Bell House in Brooklyn, **The Sporkful Live** brings Dan Pashman’s long-running food-and-culture show into a stage format shaped like a variety night. The bill mixes talk, taste, and performance, with appearances by Kenji López-Alt, Rory Scovel, Ed Gamble, and Straightiolab alongside Pashman. In New York, where restaurant culture and media culture often overlap, the event reads as a small record of how people argue about flavor, identity, and everyday habits in public. Its rock/pop framing is less about genre purity than rhythm and pacing.
