    The Daily Show was so intrigued by Chef Davide's unique approach to the problem of Yelp that they sent their correspondent, Desi Lydic, to interview him at Botto. The result aired on The Daily Show on October 2nd, 2019 and is hilarious. Needless to say, Yelp does not look so good in this segment and millions of people watched as Desi and Davide went head to head in the funniest confrontation between a real Italian chef and Yelp you'll ever see. When you are being accused of being an extortion racket, would you send a guy from The Bachelor to defend your honor?
