In The Weeds with Ben Randall

How many cheeses is too many? How much can you overcook your pasta? Should it have...flavor? Uncle Steve explores all of these questions, as well as 3 different noods in this week's episode!

In tonight's episode, we answer a listener's food challenge, debunk the myth of the "ice chef", wonder why Stone Cold Steve Austin doesn't make ice cream and we are fully disgusted by people chewing food instead of cutting it.

Tonight we shout out some listeners, talk restaurant closings & what it means to be a Chef, and have a lively discussion about the width of train tracks.

Tonight we run through our all-time favorite food & drink heists, we examine Canada's stranglehold on the world's maple syrup supply and we write a dark sequel to Ratatouille!

Uncle Steve's third installment of his journey of mac & cheese self-discovery. Join him today at Grandpa Mac's!

I thought we were done with this, but it turns out that Mario Batali is an ass-grabbing sack of shit. I take back all of the nice things I've ever said about him. Also, tea that makes your throat numb and the trick to latkes.

Our globetrotting Macmeister Steve reviews two mac & cheeses tonight, one from the devil that promises you everything you want, the other from a confused sports bar.

See you in an hour.

Is Arby's buying Buffalo Wild Wings? Not really! Do cooks hate servers? More often than not! Should you cook your own entire meal at a Waffle House? Not if you value your life!

What do you serve at your overly complicated Thanksgiving?

Oh, man, kids. Your Uncle Steve is on a quest to find the best Mac & Cheese that restaurant money can buy. He's launched "Operation Noods"! (noods=noodles. try to keep up) Join us every so often as Steve scours the Eastern Seaboard for excellent, nay, tremendous, nay, good, nay palatable, nay simply edible macaroni & cheese!

Tonight we talk birthday party pizza, restaurants stalking their customers and New England Culinary Institute duck.

What does it really feel like to be a woman in the restaurant industry? I don't know; I'm a dude. So I asked a woman. Her name's Kelly.

So it seems that restaurants are horrible places to work, especially for women. You know who could have told you that? Women. You know who's GOING to tell you that? Two guys.

In an effort to tackle some food-related Halloween issues, we struggle through the final culinary (?) frontier: Cannibalism. Spoilers, don't eat a dude.

So you're dead. What is everyone going to eat at your funeral? Is that food your legacy? Do you give a shit? Remember, you're dead. Also, we discuss how to run a restaurant into the ground. Or, in this case, the bay.
