I've been thinking about doing a shopping mall episode for some time now and when it came down to choosing one, I decided to go big. Really big. The Mall of America is the largest mall in the United States: the massive complex is big enough to hold 32 Boeing 747s or seven Yankee Stadiums. In addition to housing several big attractions (an aquarium, a theme park!), the mall is home to hundreds of shops, dozens of fast food options (including three Starbucks locations!), and a few full-service restaurants. In this episode, I'm helping you fall asleep by slowly and softly reading menus from two of the mall's restaurants: Twin City Grill and Bussin Birria Tacos.Support the showIf the podcast has been helping you sleep, consider rating or reviewing the show.

Chi-Town pizza
Mention Chicago pizza and most people think deep dish. But locals will tell you that the city's best pizza is actually the lesser-known tavern-style pie. The battle for top pizza, however, is a debate for a different show. Tonight, we're not playing favourites—in this episode, I'm helping you sleep by slowly and softly reading menus from three popular Chicago pizzerias: Milly's Pizza in the Pan (deep dish), Pizz'Amici (tavern style), and Spacca Napoli (Neapolitan style).If you've been enjoying the podcast and want to support the show, you can buy me a coffee (or pepperoni pizza!) at BuyMeACoffee.com/PepperoniPizzaDreams.

Sleepless in Seattle
In this episode, we’re exploring Seattle’s food scene—after dark. As you settle in and unwind, I’ll gently lull you to sleep by slowly and softly reading late-night menus for night owls. Together, we’ll burn the midnight oil at three of Seattle’s most beloved after-hours eateries: the iconic Beth’s Cafe, the purposefully-tacky Dino’s Tomato Pie (their website is a real trip!), and wallet-friendly Donna’s.
