Hey there food fans! Welcome back to The Food For ThoughtCast, it's time for the Season 2 finale of this podcast, can you believe we have been podcasting for two years?! Thank you so much for listening and watching every week. It means so much to us. During these last two years we have talked to all sort of guests: chefs, home cooks, professionals, bakers, fans, other podcasters, and then there's this guy- David Page! Incredible journalist, producer, and now friend of the show and fellow podcaster. We were so honored to have been on David's podcast, Culinary Characters Unlocked, late last year. We would like to share it with you now, and we hope you love it as much as we loved talking to David. Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe and we'll see you in Season 3!

Welcome back to Episode 94 of The Food For ThoughtCast! Today, Steve and Melissa are tackling all of the questions you never asked about eating leftovers, reheating togo food, and using the air fryer for fried stuff. Melissa doesn't know how to record a podcast today and has a fight with the computer in the middle of the pod. Meanwhile, Steve is crushing life by smoking three meats at once, no rolling papers required. Please let us know if you sous vide your leftovers at home because that's weird. We are exploring the ways to use restaurant leftovers, when to use the microwave, effective ways to freeze and thaw, and so much more. Thanks for listening and for watching on YouTube.

This week is a bit of a wildcard on The Food For ThoughtCast. It's time for Episode 92! When you hear this episode, Melissa is in Disney World and Stephen is probably at work, womp womp.

Hey there food fans, we're back from the holidays and we missed you so much! It's time for Episode 91 of The Food For ThoughtCast. We couldn't wait to catch up with each other and see what happened over Christmas- and since we recorded this during the Christmas Season ( celebrate all twelve days, you cowards!) - we decided to take a look at Christmas dinners from around the world. Melissa is gefilte fish-curious and for some reason Steve is mad about tamales, but just kidding. Enjoy and we're so glad to be back. Thanks for listening, and for watching on YouTube!

When the dog bites, run. And when the bee stings, you should probably get it looked at. But anyway, welcome back to The Food For ThoughtCast- today we are pulling an Oprah ( and a bit of the Grinch!) to tell you about our favorite things! This episode probably has enough rabbit trails to qualify it for national park status. Episode 89 is all about gifts for food fans and chefs alike, and also things we have no use for. Melissa says no shade to Pampered Chef (but there is) and Steve says he's not a Grinch but we all know the truth. Thanks for listening and don't forget to watch us on YouTube!

Don't let the title fool you, we talked about both of these things for no good reason, but not served together.

Thanks so much for listening and don't forget to watch us on YouTube!

What is the one convenience item you always have in the house? For me, it's cream of chicken soup. At any time, I always have at least two cans in the pantry. No shame in my game! It's time for episode 86 of The Food For ThoughtCast- today Melissa and Stephen are talking about conveneince items. Chefs use them too! From jarred pesto, to rotisserie chicken, there are all sorts of things we like to use at home to either get food on the table faster or make something really tasty with a little less work.
