🎙️ Diet Starts Tomorrow: Comedian Chris Scopo on Sleep Eating, NYC Food, and Italian Holiday Feasts

This week on Diet Starts Tomorrow, we’re serving up a hot plate of laughs with stand-up comedian Chris Scopo — and trust us, this one’s a feast. 🍝🍕

Chris gets real about sleep eating, growing up an OG Mets fan, and why the food at Shea Stadium was a disaster compared to the next-level eats at Citi Field. We dive into all things NYC Italian food, from the city's best red sauce joints to why Christmas Eve is basically Italian Thanksgiving. Plus, Chris drops a hot take: Lemon Ice King of Corona is the GOAT. 🍋👑

We also get into the wild world of stand-up comedy, why Indians are scared of dogs (yes, we went there), and the comfort foods that keep us going.

If you love food, comedy, and New York City culture, this episode is like comfort food for your ears. Hit play, laugh loud, and maybe grab a slice (or two). 🍕
