This week, hosts Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Greg Schulz (@giantwerewolf4) talk about everyone’s favorite deeply controversial halloween treat, candy corn! Where did this waxy, mostly-flavorless piece of chicken food come from, and why does it still hold such a firm place in the canon of halloween? What connection does it have to conversation hearts and jelly bellies? And what would need to happen to make it actually good? Plus, we put instant noodles, black eyed peas, and green onions into the Random Meal Generator!

This week, hosts Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Greg Schulz (@giantwerewolf4) bring you a definitely seasonally appropriate episode about Easter Eggs! We explore their eastern european pagan roots, their symbolic connection to life and fertility, and the beauty of putting time into something temporary. Chocolate, candy, hard-boiled, bursting forth from the steaming crevasse of a whole fried bird, there’s no way to go wrong with a good easter egg! Plus, the Random Meal Generator begets its most cursed offspring yet.

Disclaimer: KFC Canada sent us free samples of their new KWENCH drinks to review on the show, but this is NOT a paid sponsorship! This week, hosts Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Teffer Adjemian (@tefferbear) give their honest review of KFC’s new KWENCH drink menu! We talk about their new Caramel Iced Lattes, Chocolate Krunch Shakes, Strawberry Boba Refreshers, and Raspberry Lemonade, and some of the marketing ideas behind this new initiative. What works well, what falls short, and why does every fast food chain need its own fancy drinks these days anyway? Plus, Tom gives a quick bonus review of Subway Canada’s summerlong ‘SubDog’ promotion. Then, we put caviar, corn, and Doritos into the Random Meal Generator and create a deeply cursed amuse-bouche to pair with our favorite KWENCH drink!

Sometimes it feels like we’re too anxious to function in normal society. This is one of those times. This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and guest Aslam Choudhury talk about Ice Cream! Specifically, how to prepare for the least anxiety-inducing trip to the scoop shop possible, how to explore new flavors without stepping too far outside our comfort zones, and what makes a weird flavor actually work when transformed into a dessert! Then, we throw prosciutto, kohlrabi, and mayonnaise into the Random Meal Generator and make a gelato that’ll leave your nonna saying oh no buddy that’s a no good let’s maybe not do that actually.

This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and guest Matt Cole (@mc_dj_mc) answer the age-old question: should you put an egg on that? We discuss proper egg-on-sandwich eating techniques, establish the ideal doneness for the fried egg in various circumstances, and share some of our favorite breakfast sandwiches, before facing the hardest question yet: is ‘dessert egg’ anything? We’ll find out. Plus, what happens when hotdogs, avocado, and liquid smoke make their way into the Random Meal Generator?

This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Food Crimes Correspondent Giovanni Colantonio (@marioprime) explore the many borderline-cursed ways humans prepare and eat eggs! We crack into deviled eggs, poached eggs, big ol’ wet eggs on sandwiches, scotch eggs, century eggs, balut, and more! Are pre-peeled hardboiled eggs in a bag a crime? What makes a crime a crime anyway? Are some crimes more forgivable than others? Is Sheldon from Garfield & Friends a crime against nature or a delicious treat waiting to happen? And, what happens when we throw Octopus, Peaches, and Pork Rinds into the Random Meal Generator?

This week, hosts Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Teffer Adjemian (@tefferbear) bring you an episode all about mayonnaise and aioli! What makes these two classic egg-based french sauces distinct from each other, and why does it drive Teffer crazy when people conflate the two? We talk Provencal roots, anti-Midwestern snobbery, the stigma against eastern european cuisines, and some of our favorite ways to use these rich, unctuous sauces! Plus, what happens when honey glazed ham, pickles, and popping boba find their way into the Random Meal Generator? Come see The Sound of Music May 28th-June 14th!

This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) interviews David Page (@culinary_characters_unlocked), creator of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, host of Culinary Characters Unlocked, and author of Food Americana! David tells us the story of his New York upbringing, his whirlwind journalism career, and how he fell in love with food media, creating one of the biggest food shows of all time. He’s had to make some significant dietary changes in recent years for health reasons, but still knows how to have a good time. We talk about how fat is what makes food taste delicious, and how it’s important to still find ways to find joy through your food, even when your diet is a bit restrictive. Plus, what happens when beef brisket, tomatoes, and candy canes make their way into the Random Meal Generator?
