And now, the end is near, and so the PodFast FoodCast faces it's final tater(s). This week, we start things off by wrapping up the first round with a match-up between KFC's mashed potatoes and the Mr. Hero Loaded Tots. But that's not all - we then make our way through the rest of the bracket before declaring the 2024 Starch Madness Champion! And we did it our way.

Starch Madness rolls on with another heated battle, this time between two baked potato dishes. We've got the Bacon & Cheese Baked Potato from Wendy's pitted against the Cheddar Baked Potato Soup from Bob Evans. Who's got the better bake? We'll be the judge of that. This episode also features musings on BBQ sauce quality, NBA player Otto Porter Jr., and the films of Denis Villeneuve.

It's time to bring down the patriarchy. The Burger King is dead, long live the Dairy Queen. This week on the PodFast FoodCast: the DQ Chicken Strip Basket. But wait - that doesn't make any sense, Dairy Queen serves ice cream, not baskets of chicken. WRONG. We went to our local DQ Grill & Chill and they showered us in chicken strips. Long live The Queen indeed.

Another week, another podcast. This time, we're taking a look at the BRAND NEW Sidekicks from Subway. What's a Sidekick, you may ask? It's a foot long snack, that's what. From pretzels to cookies and everything in between, Subway has you covered... but is it any good? That is the question, and we have the answer.

Taco Bell has completely transformed their Cravings Value Menu and the PodFast FoodCast is here to break it all down for you. Does this collection of meats, cheeses, tortillas (or flatbreads), and sauces come together to create something greater than the sum of its parts? To answer that question and more - we've got just the podcast for you.
