Kristyn also looks ahead to the Grammys’ move from CBS to ABC, weighs in on ratings expectations, and explains why live events continue to dominate.

Chef Paul Smith joins Dave Weekley on Hotline for a candid conversation that blends restaurant reality with game-day practicality. Paul breaks down how severe winter weather slashed Charleston Restaurant Week traffic by nearly 40%, why no-shows hurt small dining rooms the most, and the growing debate over reservation fees. The focus then shifts to Super Bowl hosting, with Paul offering smart strategies for stress-free party food, including buffalo chicken dip, chili, and how to make expensive wings go further. Listener questions drive the final stretch, covering homemade hush puppies, cast-iron frying tips, and the golden rules of smash burgers — including why you only smash once. A practical, honest, and highly listenable segment for home cooks and diners alike.
