In episode 38, Chuck talks about sushi! This Japanese cuisine is more than raw fish—it’s all about the rice!

In episode 35, Chuck sits down with his friend Scott Kraus to talk about South America!

In episode 34, Chuck talks about Cooking Shows! He spends too much of his time watching these how-to shows. There was a time when the only place to see an entire show devoted to cooking was on the local Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) station. Now there are entire cable channels devoting to cooking, but Chuck cut the cord months ago, so it’s pretty much back to PBS for him. Tell Chuck about your favorite cooking shows!

In episode 33, Chuck talks over the phone with his friend and return guest, Joel Albright, about hamburgers. Chuck and Joel talk about the origin of this meat patty on a bun—it may not be as straightforward as you think! Besides the chains known worldwide, there are regional ones as well. Joel tells us about the worst hamburger he’s had; but to be honest, he shouldn’t have been too surprised. Tell us about your favorite hamburger joint!

In episode 32, Chuck talks about Barney Miller! It’s a classic sitcom from the 1970s. The men, and occasional women, of the 12th precinct were a diverse bunch who served the Greenwich Village neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Throughout its eight seasons, Captain Miller runs an incorruptible squad of detectives. Barney Miller is very well received by police officers for its realistic portrayal of cops!

In episode 31, Chuck sits down with his friend Pat Nevis to talk about Philadelphia! Pat spent the first eight years of his life there—well almost. Chuck visited there in November 2015 and had a great time! Lots of firsts happened in Philadelphia and it’s where Larry Fine of The Three Stooges was born! Chuck and Pat talk about what to see, do, and eat in Philly—there’s a lot more than the Liberty Bell and cheesesteaks!
