Deep Dish, Twisted Food History! – Podcast Episode 19: Off-Topic! Super Bowl Spectacular!
Neither of us watch football, but that didn’t stop us from discussing the greatness that is Super Bowl party food! We also go really off topic with a segment of Poor Taste about perhaps the most spoiled human being on Earth, then bring it all back to food with a dumbfounding Shitty Old Recipe.
Highlights
- A brief discussion of cozy cold weather foods inspired by the recent blizzard in NY.
- A look at each state’s unique Super Bowl food searches for this year.
- The roasting of a spoiled douchebag who’s sad he couldn’t go two Hawaii for the second time in 6 months, during a pandemic. (We had to break out the crying baby sound effect for this one!)
- A truly baffling Shitty Old Recipe.

Deep Dish, Twisted Food History! – Podcast Episode 15: Off Topic Thanksgiving Food Ranking!
In this off topic episode we’re getting ready for food’s biggest holiday – Thanksgiving! We’re ranking traditional Thanksgiving foods to determine the best and the worst of the bunch.

Listen now to find out!
Highlights
- A brief discussion of how Halloween went.
- A disagreement over what tier cranberry sauce belongs in.
