Design. Drink. Dish.

Join John and Wendy as they pour a glass of Black Box Pinot Noir (no cocktail this week, and somehow Wendy likes red wine again) and settle the great paper towel debate once and for all. They put Brawny, Bounty, Publix and Publix GreenWise through four tests: texture and feel, reusability and eco-friendliness, Select-A-Size versus full sheet, and a red wine spill test right on the studio table. Wendy makes her case for Viva, the one brand John forgot to bring, and they get into the friend who hangs used paper towels on his towel rack, why a roll on a $15,000 marble island belongs in design jail, and what your paper towel says about your personality. Which brand is in your kitchen? Let them know.

Drink: Black Box Pinot Noir
Pour and enjoy.

What is Design. Drink. Dish.?

Design, Drink, and Dish is where interior design meets happy hour and nothing’s off limits. Hosted by John Ryan and Wendy Davis, two best friends with their own design studios, this podcast dives into the unfiltered, unglamorous, and often hilarious side of the industry. From impossible clients to unrealistic expectations, we’re talking about what really happens behind the perfectly staged photos. Grab a drink (I’ll show you how to make one), pull up a chair, and get ready for real stories, honest opinions, and a little chaos because design isn’t always pretty, but it’s never boring.
