Fall is here (kinda) and it's time for cozy recipes. This week Tony takes on the NYT's Tomato Soup and Karen tries Roasted Tomato Soup w/ Grilled Cheese from an unlikely source. We learn a bunch about the Campbell's can, wonder whatever happened to world's fairs, and remember how Attack of the Killer Tomatoes cartoon is an actual thing that exists. 

It's Pad Thai time! This week we talk rice noodle consistency, kitty litter dough glop, and the Thai government's wildly successful gastrodiplomacy program. Tony goes on an epic search to complete Thai Table's Pad Thai while Karen falls in love with the Pad Thai from Night + Market.

It's Bean Ball Week, baby! This episode we're celebrating the magic of falafel and trying but ultimately failing to answer the age old question: How does one get rid of used deep frying oil? Karen tackles the Easy, Herb-Packed Falafel from Serious Eats and Tony attempts Falafel from the Gray Lady herself, the New York Times. 

This week Tony tackles the NYT's Sizzling Pork Tacos and Karen takes on a very special Al Pastor recipe from Cookin Vallarta! 

Our very first episode of Chewing Sounds! Listen as Karen and Tony figure out in real time how to have human-like conversations while being recorded. Karen recounts making Marcella Hazan's famous Bolognese and Tony tries his hand at the lesser known BA's Best Bolognese.
