    62. The Amazing Things We Ate

    62. The Amazing Things We Ate

    We ask each other at the top of every episode: "What is the most amazing thing you ate this week?" This week, though, there was too much to choose from. So many amazing things, in fact, that it became its own episode. Welcome back to The Food For ThoughtCast, it's time for Episode 62! Steve just got back from the Florida Keys, and Melissa did what she does every week--- tried to find all the right food in all the right places! We talk pizza, cheesesteak, conch fritters, pig tails, pork shoulder, and Hemingway's cats. No not for eating, you freak.
     
    Steve's lack of Key Lime Pie disturbs me. Find us in all the podcast places and don't forget to watch us on YouTube! Thanks for listening.

    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?

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!
