Table For Ate

Want to know if your marriage will last? Figure out what you’re gonna make for dinner…. every night…. for the rest of your life.

Today we tackle mid week meals from three different perspectives. A single guy with time on his hands. A married man who (along with his wife) works full time. And a father of three who is just trying to survive. We discuss meal planning vs. winging it, how leftovers come into play, and when to just give up and order in. Could Tony possibly function as a basketball referee?

Today’s secret ingredient is: BIG FAT GUYS! The boys got together to talk about food contests, or as it’s more commonly known, a “Food Network Production Meeting.” After genuflecting at the altar of the Chairman and paying respects to Chen Kenichi, we moved on to societal concerns like making bad food on purpose and competitive eating disorders.

Also the guys play a round of the classic Sidebar game “Guess Things that Griff Looks up on the Internet” and try to determine the criteria for judging BBQ and Beer contests. Allez Cuisine!
