Proper nourishment before a big game is essential. Food can affect our performance for the better, or worse, but if planned right it can provide the fuel we need to be at our best both physically, and mentally. Let’s face it, the proper diet can influence athletic performance in both the short and long term. From going beast mode and chugging skittles, to going plant based like TB12, those that go out to perform, seek to nourish themselves with what draws the best out of them. Check out some of our own go-to performance meals and hear about the diet of a Paralympic Gold Medalist from our recent guest Brian Bell

On this episode of the foodcast, Anson and Chris got cheesy again as they dove into the world of cheesesteak sandwiches and their close relatives. While they both consume fewer of them than we once did, it is a mighty tasty and decadent food item that is near and dear to their hearts. If you’re not vegetarian or vegan, chances are you have a go-to spot for when this particular craving hits. Shoot even if you are rocking a plant based diet, they've both noshed on a couple mushroom philly's that would give their meat clad counterparts a run for their money. (Just don’t tell philly that, or they may ban me from ever visiting again.) There’s just something special about when meat, onions, and cheese come together, and then you make it hand held by shoving it in a nice roll..GAME OVER.

On this episode of the quality foods podcast, Anson and Chris discussed one of the foods that they both consume on a pretty regular basis, sandwiches. The mostly portable, carby, often cheesy hand-meal comes in many shapes and sizes, and are built for certain occasions. From buffet banquets, to school lunches, to neighborhood delis and everywhere in between and outside. If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m fairly certain that it is a guarantee you’ve had one, and probably even within the last couple of weeks. And if you haven’t what the hell are you waiting for! Two pieces of bread and whatever you want in between, creativity is your only limitation. There are so many varieties of sandwiches out there, that they definitely cannot cover them all in one episode. So join them for the first sandwich discussion in the Quality Foods realm and stick around for the sandwich saga.

Anson and Chris were joined by Los Angeles based, multi-faceted performing artist Monte Oakley-World. As someone who was born with the artistic bug, Monte found his way to music at an early age. He got lucky and stumbled upon a burned CD that contained recording software, and it was off to the races. His musical endeavors lead to moderate success, even teaming up as live hip hop act MDMF. His creative pursuits didn’t stop there though, when the creative itch came calling once more, he answered by studying theater which has lead him to the company he performs and tours with to this day. It was a great conversation about a passion for performance.
