Oh, man, you guys.  Steve & I went to the Wisconsin State Fair.  And ate all the things.  Also, Chicago now has a Pizza Museum (your move, New York) and we want to put a bunch of fryers on a truck.

Oh, man you guys.  Tonight we talk bad decision food, theme burger restaurants, cultural appropriation and lawsuits (not how you think), racist beer in Indiana and Steve goes #vanlife all the way to Canada!

Remember how I said I was going to start interviewing people?  This was not an empty threat!  I sit down today with Josh from www.potandpanhandler.com and talk tacos, travel writing, old-school restaurant jobs and chicago pizza.

Today we're interviewing author Emily Belden about her new book 'Hot Mess', which tells the story of a young woman who gets swept up into the life and lifestyle of a rockstar chef in Chicago.  I'm not going to say that the rockstar chef is me, but his name is Benjy, so you make up your own mind.  It's a tale of love, loss, addiction, great food, craziness and restaurant life stress.  I highly recommend this book.

Abuse is Abuse is Abuse.  Sometimes, you don't get killed.

This week on the show we discuss the theater merits of washed-up 90's bands, continue watching serial sexual abusers in restaurants crash & burn, and old-man rail against computers in kitchens.

Yo!  Tonight we talk through a bunch of olde timey kitchen idioms & axioms, debate pie bakeries, propose a zombie movie and rename hedgehogs.

In which we talk about antiquated candy names, answer a Random Cheese Question and discuss the passing of the legendary, influential Anthony Bourdain.

What is your state's favorite sandwich?  This week, Steve & Ben take a swing at figuring that out!

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Food should cost more.  Now, you'll know why.
