Fullness means radically different things to our six guests this month. What does it mean to you?   For Stephanie Danler, who reads from her bestselling novel Sweetbitter, a sense of completeness came from her first restaurant job in New York City, at Union Square Cafe. For champion Yasir Salem, fullness could spell defeat at the biggest event on the competitive eating circuit. Eden Grinsphan finds out why even impatient New Yorkers will wait hours for a hamburger named "Emmy." In his newly released book, Ten Restaurants That Changed America, Yale's Paul Freedman argues that dining out helped civilize and democratize our country. Noah Bernamoff talks to the founder of a company that wants to make any restaurant-food dream come true--right to your door. And the star of Full Metal Jacket and the new hit series, Stranger Things, reveals why the smell of a drive-in snack bar triggers his moving Madeleine Moment.
