That’s a big ass toaster!

I might try the McPlant burger if there’s no flaxseed or ground nuts involved, like an assortment of other vegetarian-burgers. When it comes to the buns update, I hope it’s not brioche, since that means eggs and I’m allergic.

Love soda, but I rarely drink it. If I’m enjoying one, I definitely going full octane, preferably Cherry Coke with cheese fries and a burger or hot dog. I’ll never for the life of me understand diet sodas. I’ve tried them, probably a couple dozen times (my wife used to be a Diet Coke fiend), and they just taste like…

That’s how they make it high. No steam vents. So when the apples reduce during cooking, the crust can’t follow because it is already setting and the steam supports it.

Glad you asked! Lillian categorized the hot dog as distinct from the sandwich, due to the unique isthmus formed by the seam of the hot dog bun. Dennis, however, points to the lobster roll as evidence that the hot dog IS a sandwich. In both cases, interestingly, the bread, not the filling, is what formed the basis of…

Everyone please watch the Canadian version of Great British Bake Off, co-hosted by Dan Levy. Great examples of Canadian accents and that special CBC brand of trying to be British but not that British. The stretch for Canadian specific themes is charming and a little embarrassing, and in one episode Dan Levy sits in…

Due to its high fiber, complex carbs, and protein, I keep getting told that oatmeal is the best breakfast. But I loath it. Also, despite my considerable sweet tooth, I really don’t like sweet things when I first wake up. So, I thought, what has all those things that I could handle? Spicy refried black beans. I make a…

I’ve always considered BLTs breakfast food. But then, I suppose I’ve always considered whatever food you eat for breakfast “breakfast food.”

Planters are indeed rad but far too small in quantity. I usually go for the UTZ big tub. Either way the cheese ball is the best implementation of a cheese puff.

You were so close. You mentioned Planters Cheez Balls but then failed to proclaim them the GOAT, a title they rightly deserve.

Fast food pizza is not good. One good side effect of quarantine is that the best family owned pizza place by me is now delivering. They also make good sangwiches and antipasto. Anchovies!

Maybe this is just life in the East Coast pizza bubble, but I would expect a significant portion of pizza dollars to go to independent operators rather than chains. Pizza as a foodstuff is likely more popular than this chart shows. (See also: my hips.) I suspect “Global” loses some to local competition too. Segments…

I know you’re joking but MAN would I be on board with that. You could just shave James Urbianek’s head and he could be Doc. No idea how to cast the rest although if he was  younger I’d love to see Willem Dafoe as the Monarch. 

Is it just me, or did those Pizza Hut restaurants in the 80s, if not fine dining, at least feel like several steps above fast food? Everything seemed to get greasier and dirtier once they combined them with the other Yum! brands or tried to transition into a wing restaurant.

Completely agreed. Wings from pizza places are always a soggy mess. Even wings from a wing place tend to become that by the time you get them home, although they can sometimes be good.

I too have life philosophies. One of them is never order pizza place wings because they are always disappointing.

Schmidty also made the Cracked Podcast for years, made “Kurt Vonneguys”, and made a bison emoji podcast (weird but good)

Give Schmidt some love. He was unceremoniously fired from the Cracked Podcast a couple of months ago and this is his new self-produced endeavor.

Another worthy addition that someone mentioned in the YouTube comments was attaching the shelf to the wall using furring strips. This would prevent the whole unit from toppling over which is a concern if you're putting heavy items on top and happen to bump it, or a small child tries to climb it.
