SUPERSIZE SHOW Y'ALL!
This week, we're joined by my old friend Barbara Meleca to talk about what's wrong with "foodies," why disrespecting restaurants should get you booted from the internet, and how kids more often than not resemble truffle pigs.
What is food porn? Why do people love sharing food photos on Instagram? Why don't they just learn how to fucking cook?
Come at us, foodies, the revolution's already begun.

Episode 3: Call Food What It Is (feat. Wish Ronquillo Peacocke of Human Thesaurus)
3 RecommendationsThis week, we’re joined by Wish Ronquillo Peacocke, author of “A Fraction of Momentary Love” (link below) and host of the Human Thesaurus podcast.
We talk about the etymology of food, why it’s important to call things what they are, and how even across oceans people are still excited to buy gluten-free water.
Also, we decide that a food revolution is coming, bolstered by people like you who are learning more and more every day about where their food comes from, how to cook it, and how to eat it.
We answer the question on everyone’s mind: “what is plant-based rice?”
I speak briefly on the importance of trust between a creator and their community.
Finally, we discuss Wish’s book of poetry, and how the best way to eat is to nourish your soul.

Episode 5: Kitchen Myths and Hot Takes
2 RecommendationsThis week we’re busting kitchen and food myths as well as delivering some searing hot takes! We welcome Abigail, host of The Manic Pixie Weirdo and Best Idea in the Room podcasts, to be our emergency co-host as Barb is on the mend. Abbs forgets the most well-known slogan in the history of candy, I discuss the dangers of a septic penis, and we explore the idea of becoming The Food and Genitalia Show.
What side do you come down on regarding our kitchen myths? Do you oil your pasta water, do you use Lysol as a douche, or do you explore tanning testicles as a hobby?
Finally, we interview Jacki the Nomad Chef, who pulled up and disconnected from suburban Canadian life to trek across Central America with her family in order to connect to real food.
