  • Episode 85: Onion Rings

    The rings of real power, if you ask us. If the Elves had made theirs out of onions, Sauron would've been too busy eating to ever leave his lands. Noah and Louisa pay tribute to the fried food to rule them all.

  • Episode 84: Three-Bean Salad

    This episode is fine—it's good. Actually, it's great. Noah and Louisa discuss a humble food for humble people, and why a lot of people seem to hate it.

  • Episode 83: Waffles

    Now that's one way to square or circle. Faced with a breakfast food they haven't covered yet, Noah and Louisa are surprisingly decisive on the subject.

  • Episode 80: Fettuccine Alfredo

    Last week was great if you liked episodes where Noah doesn't like the food; this week is great if you like episodes where Noah and Louisa go on an absolutely massive tangent that, somehow, is still relevant to the food in question. Oh, yeah, and we talk about some pasta, too.

  • Episode 79: Baked Potatoes

    No jacket required! Those of you who like episodes where Noah hates the food under discussion, your luck's in. Ovoids full of perfect fluffy golden potato, or bland and flavorless receptacles in search of toppings? You decide.
