I can't help but think of the incomparable Stephanie Zimbalist, Jr., who said: "Great art must induce great vomit." Matt hews closely to this timeless tenet by taking Jason's exploration of dizzyness and adding his own headache-inducing touch to craft a masterwork of nausea that is only matched by the breakfast burrito and whiskey sour I enjoyed to prepare for this competition.
