The show opens with Don's asking Ben to buy him some gift cards. Ben is also having a holiday party six, and the guys spend a little bit of time talking about the media there watching before the talk turns to food safety. Listener feedback leads to a discussion of the risks posed by leaving foods out of temperature control, which foods pose an increased risk of harboring Listeria, appropriate labeling advice for doggy bags, and the safety of multiple component foods being left out of temperature control. Ben livens things up with a discussion based on an interesting reddit post, as well as a question about which months are safe for consuming raw shellfish. The guys plug to recent restaurants they visited before a brief dip back into music and media, and conclude with plugs for their live shows at IAFP and in Seattle.
