Indeed a typical Falcon, easyish but very smoothly written.
A puzzle that should appeal to those who like the Guardian’s Everyman [which is no coincidence, of course].

In 10ac the MOBY part should be seen as MOB (gang) + Y[arn].
Re 19ac: Chambers gives us “feeding” as the first definition for NUTRIENT (as an adjective).
And the same dictionary gives us, for 7d, under DUDE as def #4: A stylish or admirable man.
So, no reason to have any complaints, I think.
