August 11, 2025 207. Bacon Mania ft. Eric Silver!
This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and guest Eric Silver (@el_silvero) talk about the Bacon Industrial Complex and the Bacon Mania of 2009. How did a massive PR campaign lead to this off cut of pork becoming an american breakfast staple? How did it save fast food chains from fading into obscurity? Is the Wendy's Baconator still an exciting amount of bacon? How is Obama-era recession economics responsible for the rise of Epic Meal Time? Plus, what happens when bacon, split peas, eggplant, and ketchup find their way into the Random Meal Generator?

August 05, 2025 206. Kebab's Your Uncle!
This week, hosts Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Teffer Adjemian (@tefferbear) talk about grilled meat on skewers! There are so many different kinds of kebabs in the world- donair, doner, shawarma, shish kabob, souvlaki, kefta, tacos al pastor, the list goes on and on. Cooking meat over an open flame is universal, and there's nothing quite like a kebab to get us in touch with that beautiful, primal feeling. Plus, the extremely difficult challenge of running chorizo, turnips, and smoked paprika through the Random Meal Generator.

July 29, 2025 205. With Apologies to Zucchini
This week, hosts Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Teffer Adjemian (@tefferbear) talk about the humble zucchini! This summer squash deserves to be treated with love and respect, and if handled correctly, can be absolutely delicious. Its flowers are also wonderful, it can be turned into musical instruments, and apparently Meghan Markle thinks they make a sexy pasta sauce. Jury's out on that one. Plus, what happens when zucchini, ground beef, rhubarb, and instant coffee powder enter the Random Meal Generator?!
