    S04E009: Budget Bites 000: $5, One Winner (Jaxon & Christopher)

    Welcome to Budget Bites! In this intro episode, hosts Jaxon Reiman and Christopher Grassotti lay out what this podcast is all about — competitive food combos on a middle school budget. Each week, the guys will bring in a food combo under $5 based on a different theme (sour, sweet, spicy, and more). They’ll taste, describe, and debate their picks before handing things over to a guest judge who decides the winner. In this first episode, they break down: Why they started the show What listeners can expect each week How the ranking system will work And, of course, who really brings the better food Think of this as the “hang tight” episode before the real food battles begin. This podcast is about two good friends buying food combos under five dollars and ranking them. Each week, a different guest judge settles the debate and decides which combo wins.

    S04E006: Setting The Table #000 - Welcome To The Table (Anita+Eileen+Aimee)

    Welcome to Setting The Table! (Anita, Eileen, & Aimee) This is Episode 000 of Setting The Table, where we set the scene for what this podcast is all about and what listeners can expect in future episodes. Setting The Table is an interview-based podcast that blends conversation with food challenges. Guests choose a category—spicy, sweet, or sour—and the food they pick determines the type of questions they’ll answer. If a guest doesn’t want to eat the food or answer the question, the hosts take on the challenge instead, often with unexpected (and sometimes gross) results. Every episode features new foods, honest reactions, and plenty of laughs. In this debut episode, the hosts introduce themselves, explain how the show works, share how the podcast came together, and talk about their favorite foods. Future episodes will feature interviews with friends, teachers, and maybe even a famous guest someday. Setting The Table is all about personality, reactions, and having fun while getting to know people in a totally different way.
