Summer is in its final stretch, and festival season is winding down, so what better time to discuss some of the many notorious treats found at fairs events and amusement parks . You know the what we’re talking about…funnel cakes, turkey legs, and fried everything under the sun. We explored the history of some of these popular treats, talked about some of our recent experiences at fairs and events, and of course touched on some of our core experiences with extravagant event food over the years.

On this episode, Anson and Chris touch on another theme that is shred by nearly all QG guests, execution and repetition. Without these actions, there would be no Quality Goods Podcast. Execution and repetition are crucial practices that all doers must undertake. Without executing a task and repeating it over and over again, there is no way to become a professional in anything. This discussion touches on the creative cycle, and detailed what artists, business people, and athletes must endure to achieve the highest in their respective grind. Ideation, iteration, breaking through creative blocks, find all of that and more in this episode. It was a great conversation packed with stories from their own creative endeavors, as well as artists and entrepreneurs.

This episode of the podcast we are getting raw. Oysters, sashimi, clams, uni. All those salt water dwelling craveable creatures that are best when consumed in a port city, or somewhere in the vicinity of one. Freshness is EVERYTHING when it comes to eating raw, and if the product ain't quality, we ain't eating it. Whether you’re an oyster lover that throws back trays of em, of maybe your more partial to the acid cooked semi-raw ceviches, this episode will make your mouth water.

This episode is all about cold, thick, and mostly sweet beverages that we all love to indulge in once in a while or more. Milkshakes, frappes, smoothies, all the delectable high calorie beverages that your heart and stomach desire. Whether you flock to the green mermaid for your frozen caffeine fix or sip down extra slush alongside your burger, blended beverages are a popular way to slurp down so extra cals, or some extra nutrients..it all depends on the ingredients. So throw your fav treats in that machine and pour some love over it and lets talk blend bevys.

What is going on Quality Foodies. This episode is all about a multi-cultural, versatile, snackable, delectable morsel of the most commonly consumed bird. If you said turkey necks, you are sadly mistaken! We are talking chicken wings of course. The popular bar snack is one that many cultures have blessed with unique flavors and prep methods. From sticky fish sauce wings, to fiery culinary competitions, and everything in between. Shoot, there are even entire restaurants dedicated to this dish. You can smoke them, grill them, fry them, or stew them. But regardless of how you prep them, will see the pile of bones that lie in their wake post chow down. So this episode is dedicated to the many birds that have given their lives, for us to be able to create this content. 

This episode of the Quality Goods Podcast is all about networking. Arguably one of the most important job and life skills you can hone if you have ambitions or the desire to get ahead or get things done. The soft skills like public speaking and effective communication that are practiced through networking can help develop the ability to win people over and get your message across clearly. All of these things are some of the benefits of exercising and growing your network. Let’s face it, no one will ever know how great your product or service is if you don’t talk about it! You’ll never grow your brand if you stay silent on the subject. As they say, closed mouths don’t get paid…or was it don’t get fed…either way, the sentiment remains true. So step outside of your comfort zone, go to that event, talk to the people that are operating inside of the space that you want to be in.

This episode of the podcast is dedicated to fresh beef…no not top sirloin, and not the stuff your favorite burger is comprised of. We are talking competition, rivalry, some good ol fashioned squabbles. In light of the recent hip hop beef that took social media by storm, this episode is inspired by a musical rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Regardless of who came out on top of that one, it ignited the rap flame and we all got to basque in its heat and glow for a bit. Much like hip hop beefs give us conversation ammo, beefs in the food world can stir up similar sentiments. While food feuds typically remain friendly, some take the competition seriously…New York vs Chicago Pizza, Coke vs Pepsi, which ever team you side with, we all get a little excitement and a whole lot of flavor out of these friendly competitions. So let’s explore a few familiar and maybe not so familiar beefs in the world of food .

On this episode of the foodcast, Anson and Chris got cheesy again as they dove into the world of cheesesteak sandwiches and their close relatives. While they both consume fewer of them than we once did, it is a mighty tasty and decadent food item that is near and dear to their hearts. If you’re not vegetarian or vegan, chances are you have a go-to spot for when this particular craving hits. Shoot even if you are rocking a plant based diet, they've both noshed on a couple mushroom philly's that would give their meat clad counterparts a run for their money. (Just don’t tell philly that, or they may ban me from ever visiting again.) There’s just something special about when meat, onions, and cheese come together, and then you make it hand held by shoving it in a nice roll..GAME OVER.

Anson and Chris got to chatting about fictional foods and some of the tasty looking dishes they’ve seen prepped and consumed in movies and TV. Whether some cartoon cuisine had you drooling, or a chef whipped up a great dish on your favorite new drama series, we have all witnessed a fictional food item that stirred up a craving. Whether you find that food inspo from the big screen, the TV, or even swiping your way through social media, there are some make believe and fantasy foods for everyones taste.
