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.

Episode 19: Off Topic! Super Bowl Foods By State! Deep Dish: Twisted Food History!

In this off-topic episode of Deep Dish, we look at another Google Trends map which shows some interesting search results from different U.S. states related to what kinda Super Bowl foods they're looking to make! After this, we tear apart an op-ed written by possibly the richest, most spoiled douchebag on Planet Earth, who published an entire article complaining that his vacation to Hawaii, in the middle of a pandemic, had to be cancelled. We finish up with a mind-boggling edition of Shitty Old Recipes which makes up for its short ingredient list by being truly confusing.

In the first 2021 edition of Deep Dish, we take a look at a beloved Christmas cookie, and find out why they’re so associated with Christmas!  Are gingerbread cookies medicine?  Which came first, gingerbread loaves or gingerbread cookies?  What connection do these wholesome cookies have to Roman orgies?  Listen now to find out!

Highlights

  • Story time as we review the fable of the gingerbread man, Shrek, and a random video game series from the Amiga days. 
  • The surprisingly horny history of gingerbread men, including a brief tangent about Japanese girls putting pubic hair and blood into Valentine’s chocolate! (It… makes sense in context.)

Join us as we go off-topic in this holly-jolly Christmas edition of Deep Dish! Highlights include… 

Highlights

  • We go a bit overboard with Advent calendars this year. (Hint, there’s two of us, and FIVE calendars)
  • We discuss the abomination that is pizza-flavored candy canes.
  • Inexplicably, pizza candy canes isn’t even the worst variety that we talk about in this episode…
  • A very special holiday edition of Shitty Old Recipes, with TWO unthinkable nightmare dishes! (One of which looks like something that you dragged out from underneath your car.)

Deep Dish, Twisted Food History! – Podcast Episode 16: Chili Con Carne!

In this edition of Deep Dish, we investigate the pinnacle of Tex-Mex cuisine, chili con carne. Learn about how it came out of the complicated history of Mexico and Texas, before spreading to the rest of the U.S. 
This week, we also bring on a special guest for the very first time in Deep Dish! A longtime friend of the show, Patrick R., a born and bred Texan, shows up for the latter half of the ep to tell us all about how much Texas loves its chili.

Highlights

  • Chili peppers have been farmed for almost ten thousand years, which is crazy to think about! Take that, paleo diet!
  • Despite its reputation as a Texas treasure, chili actually has a surprisingly international origin story? South America, Spain, Texas, and even Germany all played a part in its creation!
  • Ghost peppers are really, REALLY freaking spicy. 
  • Modern chili has a bunch of different variations ranging from the pasta-paired Cincinnati Chili to Sonic the Hedgehog’s favorite, chili dogs. 
  • We debut a brand new Dessert section game, “Pokemon or Medicine?” …it’s exactly what it sounds like.

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.  No history this episode, just a good old fashioned battle between foods to see who comes out on top.  Which food will reach God tier status?  Which food will be the bottom of the barrel?  Listen now to find out!

Highlights

  • A brief discussion of how Halloween went. 
  • A disagreement over what tier cranberry sauce belongs in.
  • Can we all at least agree that sweet potato casserole is the WORST Thanksgiving food of all time? (Which is sad because sweet potatoes are one of the best vegetables of all time!)
  • A last minute change in the rankings!
  • Another edition of the classic dessert segment Shitty Old Recipes!  This one manages to have Erik almost completely stumped.
