Wednesday, September 3, 2025 - ZHUZUP. Gesundheit!!

This was a fun crossword by Michael B. Berg, his second for the NYTimes. The theme was terrific, revolving around a word that neither cohost had heard before, ZHUZH. Fortunately, the crosses were fairly forgiving (except when they weren't: we're looking at you, KATZ). All in all an excellent middle-of-the-week crossword, we hereby bestow upon it with 5 squares on the JAMCR scale. Show note imagery: KATZ's Delicatessen, doing a booming business. We love feedback!
