This week on Fork This City, Josh and Gabby visit Forsythia, a Roman trattoria in NYC inspired by the flavors, warmth, and traditions of Italy. From handmade pastas to seasonal ingredients and a deeply intentional beverage program, they unpack whether Forsythia actually transports you to Rome—or just tries to.

Then, things get a little chaotic as they dive into the recent social media drama surrounding Kawaii Cafe. With a fake review circulating online, the duo breaks down what actually happened and debunks the rumors making the rounds.

Finally, they cover one of the most unexpected NYC food collaborations yet: Johnny’s Pizza x PopUp Bagels. Is this carb-on-carb crossover genius, or just another viral food moment?

A mix of Roman dining, internet food drama, and NYC’s ever-creative collab culture.
