Behold this very special episode where Ben and Em go head-to-head to see who can create the ultimate Mexican pizza. It’s surprising and unhinged… but will it be delicious?

 

Thank you so much to Kaiju Beer and Pizza for helping us bring to life our wildest pizza dreams and to the legends at independent, family-owned brewery Kaiju for creating the god damn delicious Mexican-style Cerveza we paired the pizzas with. (And… you know, for sponsoring this whole very special episode!) 

We’ll share some videos of our pizza creations on our social channels, so make sure you’re following to get them in your eyeballs.

WTF is in crab sticks? And also, did The Simpsons lie to us about crab juice? This episode is 50% real crab and 50% fake crab, and tbh that is a whole lot less fake crab than we’d expect from ourselves.
