In The Weeds with Ben Randall

We're talking barbecue at long last! Also, we invent the Smorca and Steve recommends burying your slow cooker in the sand.

Tonight we talk low kitchen wages, April fools jokes, the top terrible foods from each decade and the KY Deli gets a fondue restaurant!

Going out for dinner? Check your baggage at the door. Also, Boeufhaus is tre-goddam-mendous.

Ever wonder what we think about food in movies? Do you like open kitchens? How about tacos? Join us for a rollicking conversation about all of these things!

In this very special episode, I bring on a working member of the TV and film industry...who also happens to be my brother. What's it like to eat on a TV set? What happens to 40 pounds of candy in the wrong wrapper? We basically solve all the mysteries of life.

Sorry. I went a little off the rails.

Look, we thought that between pie & cake, cake would be easier to define. We were so wrong.

In this episode, we sit down with pastry chef Kelly & she schools me on all of the nuances of cake making and decorating that I should have remembered from culinary school. Ft. @kellydull & @cakewrecks

In which we attempt to answer the question which has plagued humanity since time immemorial: What exactly is the definition of pie? Also, what the fuck, Paula Deen?

Oh, man. Tonight we're joined by Andy McElfresh of Edumacation fame (as well as numerous other accolades) to wrap up our Soylent experiment. Andy smears nutrition science facts all over the podcast tonight, and we speculate about astronaut bathroom arrangements.

Yo, in this episode we discuss the differences between off-brand 5 Hour Energies, alternate flavors for legit 5 Hour Energy, time travel and my ongoing experiment with Soylent.

Tonight we discuss notable Chicago restaurant closings, the future of the restaurant industry and we get our first update from the Great Soylent Experiment.

It's a new year, and so it's time to do a thing. I'm going on an all-Soylent diet for the next two weeks! We discuss the history of meal replacements, as well as their appearances in sci-fi.

Tonight, we discuss undocumented robots smashing strawberries, naked waitresses & why you shouldn't saute naked. http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-25412/a-naked-restaurant-is-opening-in-london-theres-a-45-000-person-wait-list.html?utm_source=quickanddirtytips.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pubexchange_module https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49ht-GHpm5U&feature=youtu.be

This week we discuss what makes a good first date restaurant, and due to recording technical details, it sounds like I'm interviewing Steve's Force Ghost. Please be aware, we DID NOT record this episode on a ouija board.

What do Presidents and Wannabe Presidents eat? What does this tell us about them? And what is Jimmy Carter's backup band called? We cover ALL of this in tonight's white-housed and red-eyed episode!
