"I don't know why. I don't know how it happened, but it is one of the most traumatic meals." – Kate
Join hosts Bob and Kate, with special guest Nila, as they dive headfirst into a week of eats and the wild world of Eurovision.
This episode kicks off with the crucial question: "What did you eat this week?". Things start relatively basic, but quickly get interesting! Hear about sampling goodies from the Butler County Donut Trail and recent visits to Denny's (including a Cinnamon Roll Pancake Slam!). Get the mouthwatering details on delicious steak nachos from Habaneros and the perplexing encounter with a plant that tasted strongly of licorice, mistaken for basil, at a Persian restaurant. You won't want to miss the cautionary tale of a Mother's Day celery juice gone horribly, hilariously wrong!
Plus, they sample Wendy's new Strawberry Pop-Tart and Salted Caramel Crunch Frosty mixins and explore the Dairy Queen summer menu.
Then, the conversation takes a flavorful detour to Eurovision 2025, discussing the food of competing countries. From Australian Tim Tams and Vegemite to Georgian Khachapuri, Belgian waffles, Swiss fondue, French pastries, Italian delights, Spanish paella and jamon, and even German hot dog pretzel salad disasters, they cover a global smorgasbord! Hear about unique Norwegian tastes like aged moose, reindeer, and whale jerky and surprisingly good nachos. They also delve into the fascinating idea of what constitutes "authentic" international food versus a traveler's restaurant experience.
Discover which foods were potentially "ruined" after being experienced abroad (like Kurdish falafel and Iraqi Chinese food!).
Tune in for candid reviews, travel stories, and plenty of food-related tangents. It's a conversation that's definitely worth a listen!
