Join Jules and Lauren as they bring in the new year with what has been hitting their tables over the holidays. Jules' gaming appetite has him trying out the combo meal which is fit for a king in Castle Combo. Lauren has been wracking her brain to remember where she put Gandalf's staff and if it was next to that bowl of jelly in Wilmot's Warehouse.
