    58. Stephen's Sandwich Shop

    58. Stephen's Sandwich Shop

    Steve has mentioned it a couple of times that his dream is to open a sandwich shop. Today's episode takes us on a journey of both bread and cheese, meat and condiments, yes...... Reubens and recipes....for flavor , that is! Welcome back to The Food For ThoughtCast. In Episode 58 we talk about all things sandwiches-- including our favorites, and what Steve would have on his menu. First we start with the normal "what was the most amazing thing you ate?" segment, which never disappoints, and then we dive into sandwich fillings, categories, and preferences. We argue about bagels, cheesesteaks, and chicken salad ingredients but we reconcile over the notion of a S'mores grilled cheese. Nutella anyone?

    It's time for another collaboration!
    Welcome back to The Food For ThoughtCast, episode 57! Today we are talking to 2/3 of the hosts of The Deucecast Movie Show (we missed you, Dr. Earl)
    Join in as we talk to Mikey and Dave about all things food and movie related. It's a free-for-all as we talk about favorite dishes and then dish about favorite meals on the big screen. We all have our own lists of what's special, maybe sentimental, and ultimately tasty when it comes to culinary cinema. There is a bit of poorly planned food and special effects trivia and then the whole thing goes off the rails in classic ThoughtCast style. 
    Go get The Deucecast Movie Show wherever you get your podcasts, be sure to check out their most recent episode, #625- all about Wrasslin' movies. 625 episodes?! We wanna be like these guys when we grow up! There are plenty of five-star ratings and reviews to go around, go support the folks that support us!

I’m listening to a podcast with this hysterical, informative and comical track down history, food friendship I’ve learned so much from this podcast and laughed myself to tears. Who new podcast could be so fun!! I have a feeling chef Melissa has changed my view on Podcasts, and I find myself waiting each week for the new release! Congratulations, Chef.
