In The Weeds with Ben Randall

Let's decode some common food additives! Yum Science!

So we wanted to talk about what it takes to open a restaurant, and why you should never do that silly thing. Instead we pitch THE GREATEST RESTAURANT EVER.

This week we're joined by our good friend (and sister) Elise, to discuss everything coffee, coffeeshops & hipster. Also, we discuss the difference between a replicator (Star Trek) and a Replicator (Stargate).

It's our long-overdue discussion of fast food, how MacDonald's ruined out agriculture and why we should not go to Mars.

In which we start out talking about owners we could have done without, and end by roasting fast food, extolling Culver's and saving 5 Hour Energy's business plan.

Tonight we get into it with the stupidest customer questions we've ever been asked. And let's be clear; we're barely scratching the surface.

Tonight, kids, we sit down with John & John from ManBQue! Learn all about where ManBQue comes from, where and why it started and how not to be a bitch hunter. They're dropping their second cookbook this month! https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Street-ManBQue-Guide-Making/dp/0762458690 http://manbque.com

I've always hated them up close, but tonight we hate on servers from afar. We've all had that memorably bad service experience; now you're gonna hear ours!

Every family has their 'secret recipes', and sometimes they're embarrassing as fuck when you learn that other people don't eat like you do.

Camping can be SO much more than just hotdogs. Also, hotdogs.

It's the end of an inning, not the end of the game.

Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes, well, you know.

Every so often, someone comes along who changes your course, gives you a push or offers to fight you. But in a good way. And when that person leaves us, it's only appropriate to take a moment and quietly raise a glass. Good shift, Chef Tim. Take that break.

...but they're crunchy! (spoilers/warning, we're eating bugs today)

What can ruin your shift in a restaurant? Nearly everything!

Tonight we tackle the Force Awakens, suggest that Episodes 1-3 be stricken from canon and in general blow JJ but good.

Space food, bitches. Food in space
