is a hot dog is a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense a hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich what Welcome to our podcast a hot dog is the sandwich the show we break down the world’s biggest food debates I’m your host Josh sh and I’m your host Nicole an and Nicole today we are talking all things Ace not not the asexual a-romantic Community but we’ll devote a podcast to them later but we’re talking cool flag the wait purple gray white and yellow I believe is it yellow no I believe that’s the lesbian flag has the yellow Lakers and the Lakers uh no the Ace Flag it’s like purple gray black and white which is like one of my favorite color purple gray black and white it’s kind of lavender purple yeah I might just get a flag for you know like a bumper sticker I can show support and then I can also have like a cool aesthetic on my Nissan do whatever you want no we’re talking about Ace a y c all you can eat and it is an American staple but today we’re taking you to the dark underbelly we’re talking to you about all the problems that bus cost Nicole well we’ve talked about Buffet like four times on the podcast how many more times can we talk about Buffet we can talk about buff no no no but today like I want to go down uh how C underbelly not necessarily um but no to me I’m fascinated by it because co co took many things from us and all you can eat buffets are one of them our local Chinese all you can eat buffet New Town China Buffet they’re now gone Sizzler declared bankruptcy I’m worried about what’s happening to Vegas Nicole nothing’s going to happen toas remember whenever in Vegas they were doing the uh what was it the there’s like crypto hacks and stuff oh yeah B I think it was the bagio they like hacked into one of the hotel syst they’re like no power BW remember that y the the I knew somebody that was staying there and the elevators wouldn’t work they couldn’t get into their rooms that’s brutal that’s pretty brutal I think that’s a bigger problem than the buffet shut I don’t think there’s ever going to be the the Bania of all of the craziness in Vegas and all food and drinks this is now a podcast not about all you can eat buffets but about cyber security go ahead Nicole tell them about your firewall proposal if you’re looking to I can’t even I can’t even do it seriously uh no but I want to talk about how buffets make money and how it is our job as Americans that’s right to try and beat them yeah you know there I think there’s actually a show I think there’s a UK based show or a segment where they talk about like beating the buffet and it’s like what kind of show is this and how do I get on it who just 24 years old and today she’s going to show us how she beat the buffet and it’s really interesting and Pua sits there and she’s like carbs uh uh uh oh yeah it’s like yeah yeah I don’t know it’s like this weird show specifically like it’s the UK show what the two is that 20 million calorie buff they have too many digits after the two I don’t know what it is but it’s I watch it specifically on YouTube and it’s like little Snippets and it’s just people that just can beat buffets and it’s massively entertaining uh that is beautiful it’s funny because it’s a British show I consider all you can be face to be a very American thing even though the origin comes from like Swedish Nordic culture does it I didn’t know that yeah at least from my understanding so the smorgas board right oh yeah not not to be confused with smores BR not to not to be confused with either smor or smorgusberg oh oh orus BG was the food festival started in Williamsburg Brooklyn that has come to LA and then I lost several thousand dollars on trying to sell chicken sandwiches and Jimmy chongas but you gained so much perspective and I gained so much perspective but no um so the smorgas board is a Swedish style Buffet if you go to svang which is Danish not Swedish I love sang for people that don’t know sang is a Danish themed town and it’s about 2 hours north of Los Angeles such a happy place and there’s little windmills there’s little pancake houses and there are smorgus boards and they have buffets and it’s kind of a funny Catch 22 because listen shout out to all my Swedish homies um you know sander out there in thron time Norway I hope you’re doing great buddy but their food is not great um not good in like uh Buffet scents or just not good period cuz I love able skers I love the little rly sausage bws why bws today we’re not we’re not in the business of ranking every country by food but that’d be a great podcast if we were I don’t know if the Nordic countries are in the top half of that bracket oh it’s just when it’s cold it’s hard to grow a variety of vegetables I remember um yeah you pickle a lot of stuff I was listening to an interview and somebody asked a Russian Chef like why do Russians love beat so much and they like only thing that could exist in the snowy partk they were like it’s gross in the snow it’s like oh great I was a little wordy I’m sorry yeah Russians are known for their brity um but but but but as Doki writes thousand Doki but no uh the smor board Swedish style Buffet but it’s a lot of cold cuts and pickled fish and delightful things that actually started as a practice called uh bronin board this is so interesting I had no idea yeah so this is like you see it in the 16th century in Sweden and it started as like drinking houses um makes sense they would serve uh what is it is it just called bronin bronin was like a spirit that they would serve get all messed up and they would serve A light meal before that at the brunin board where they would just eat little you know cold cuts Meats cheeses whatever I kind did drunk when I went to October Fest yeah what they serve lots of cold cuts lots of fish like pickled fish lots of like pickled veg fantastic drinking especially for cold clear alcohol oh yeah yeah are you being sarcastic no I’m dead so no no that’s one of my favorite uh things to do is cuz I wasn’t drinking cold clear alcohol I was flinging beers bigger than my face that’s fun too the brown Vin boort eventually they were like oh people seem to really love just eating giant tables of available food and then they kind of transitioned that to a heavier meal they called smorgas board uh and then I think the first not the first all you can eat buffet in um America but certainly the most famous uh was in Vegas in the 1940s it was called the Buckaroo buffet and it was just a way to try and show the opulence of Las Vegas and get Americans in 1940s American culture sweeps the world through the invasion of Normandy I suppose um but for real and we spread a lot of American culture and now all you can eat Buffs have become a staple and a lot of people ask how do they make money but like I well it’s just so excessive the idea of going to a buffet 100% but especially for my dad’s generation right grew up with parents who lived through the Great Depression who lived through World War II who lived through scarcity and so everything they wanted was about opulence so they wanted to see a giant hunk of prime rib that a person carving form of CRA leg like how many times can you go to a buffet like once a week is that is that like typical I remember when you were a kid and you went to an all you can Buffet uhhuh did you have that sense of excitement I had the same sense of excitement like before my first kiss no actually I didn’t I never did I know weird right but again I didn’t consider food to be like the most exciting thing on earth until I turned 19 but like your parents kind of restricted what you ate in the house your mom didn’t get sugary cereal like but I don’t think like the like for example Su Plantation like we never oh no go ahead sorry no no go go no I’m going to talk about superation later I was never one of those people that was like we need to go to Su I all my friends are like yeah sulation rocks and I’m just sitting there like I think we should just like not go there I just never liked the idea of an endless supply of food if you started like a sandwich chain and you called it sandwich Plantation people would be like hey don’t call something a plantation yeah but somehow a restaurant called themselves The Soup Plantation I don’t know I guess I think they got away with it because it was combined to one word you never you didn’t think of it you didn’t think of Soup Plantation Soup Plantation it’s not Soup Plantation but it’s not called that in other parts of the country it’s called Sweet Tomatoes was Green Tomatoes Sweet Tomatoes why didn’t they changed the name here they sure should have it should have just been Sweet Tomatoes I know I agree I agree the point is if people don’t know we’ll just call it sweet tomatoes um if for people that don’t know sweet tomatoes it is an all you can eat buffet but they gained the system perfectly because the way that buffets work is they lose money on prime rib and crab legs and they don’t have that kind of stuff there they have no meat there they don’t need it you could like buffets make money it’s all about laws of averages for every person like me who’s going to try and eat as many crab legs as possible your dad there’s a seven-year-old who is eating $150 worth of mac and cheese right but getting charged 2755 or whatever exactly and so it works on mass scale um the cheaper the food that you serve the Slimmer the margins volume Ser volume plant had the genius idea Sweet Tomatoes God it’s so weird it was so normal when we were kids but their whole model is that they serve soup and salad and pasta and breads all of the cheapest things in the world ooh and sof serve ice cream and sof serve ice cream you remember the self serve ice cream I would pour a cup of cola and I would put the ice cream right into the cola I would make Coke floats why are you so smart because this is the Way You Are but like when you were a little chunky kid a little precocious chunky kid man and all I wanted all I wanted when I was a little smart precocious chunky kid was to have full access to just slop heaps of food to an ice cream dispensing machine to a soda fountain uh to they had just Vats of liquid brownie that were never quite set they were always hot and liquidy God I and it was so good that didn’t excite you like it did me no it didn’t it kind of like repulsed me it repulsed me I think the idea of Buffets I mean other than when you’re in Vegas the idea of a buffet unfortunately just does repulse me in a very weird way wait why unless you’re in Vegas though uh opulence man you’re in Vegas you know your husband’s playing the slots playing 21 he gets a voucher you get to go to the buffet for half off thing says opulence like a voucher that’s us gaming the isem no Honestly though so if they’re going to game this system we’re going to game it back and it’s just a game of back and forth but I don’t know what it is something about buffets in LA or like wherever else don’t really serve it unless like let me tell you the only time I think I would enjoy going to a buffet outside of Vegas would be like in like Pennsylvania Dutch town where they have like shady maple is that what is that called the Shady Maple is that the famous one I yeah Shady Maple and they they call it a smorgas board oh well I would go there no questions asked I would slap on chicken fried steak I would smother it with two kinds of gravy I would get everything from there and because I feel like if if you’re in that if that energy and Vibe is there you just need to match it and I think that play what’s it called Shady Maple smor board I believe it’s in Lancaster right right outside of Lancaster that’s great so like I I feel like if if I’m there and I’m and if I ever find myself in that area of Pennsylvania like you just you just got to you just got to do it you know but in La it just doesn’t serve me or the people I surround myself with to go to all you can eat buffets but I will attend all you eat barbecue Korean barbecue that’s interesting tell them about all you can eat Korean barbecue well all you can eat Korean barbecue is awesome um you can get it I I like to go to Gardina or k toown or anywhere that has like a large Korean population and there’s different tiers of all you can eat so there’s the first tier that has like you’re run-of-the-mill like you go got some bulgogi you get some prime rip you get some fun stuff you get an egg egg soup like the egg soup thing the steamed egg yeah and then there’s the second which is kind of like a little bit higher and you get cool things like beef tongue and you get like a little bit more of like maybe like pork or stuff like that and then the third tier that’s where it’s a really really good deal cuz you’re getting all the USDA prime rib and you’re getting all the short ribs and all that cool stuff and yeah that’s that’s all you can eat so all you can eat I have found myself maturing as an adult realizing that thank you so much realizing that I don’t need to eat all I can eat all the time which is a very new thing for me absolutely you don’t even like I’m going to tell you right now I love going to like crab boil places mhm and there’s no all you can eat ones but like even going to that I’m like this is excessive yeah this is like too much for me you don’t Delight in the excess anymore not anymore not anymore I’m like just have like you know the egg the corn and like 14 trip you know what I mean this the most American conversation um I went to an all you can eat Korean barbecue restaurant and I want to bring up the idea of like food safety here because oh my God yeah yeah yeah you always when you’re getting an all you can eat option they’re moving so much product and it’s again when you’re operating at that scale and you need to move so much product you need to move fast sometimes things fall through the cracks uh and I made the genius decision I did you get intestines oh no no no oh oh I’ve gotten intestines at all you can eat yeah you got to oh I love UK cook but I don’t like these intestines were not cleaned okay yeah my my intestines it was like a gusher filled with poo that’s really I ate poo I could feel it oh my God so that’s a risk from all you can eat be that wasn’t the worst thing that I ate there okay okay like that specific one I got the beef tartar oh the yukco the yukco uhhuh yeah yeah it was um warm yeah yeah I ate it because here’s how they also win you know how like a blockbuster made money right you wouldn’t return it you is late fees oh profit margin oh you’re talking about if you don’t finish your food they upcharge you the amount of times me and my friends would literally we would hide it under the crevice at all barbecue we would hide it under the crevices of the of the table we would put it under the chairs we would stuff our pockets with it so we wouldn’t get charged so all you can eat buffet you know you may get some food of suspect Providence um because they’re moving fast you get intestines I got some poo in them you get you ate poo I ate poo and then you get some uh beef tartar that’s warm and I guess the thing that you’re worried about with warm beef tartar is probably ecoli which is also poo so you’re eating a lot of poo um you don’t want to think about the face you’re eating a lot of poo and these Foods I don’t maybe the intestines maybe it’s not proper po I don’t know what happens if you don’t clean an intestine but it sure felt like at the time and I will say I love I love uh C Chong Korean int like no Co Chong’s a dish and that’s what that restaurant specializes in really fantastic when they’re cleaned properly and you got to Triple rinse and blanch them all that I don’t get in testin from all you cany places yeah you shouldn’t and I learned that and I learned that I just don’t um but you’re then faced with the uncomfortable decision do I house this or do I pay for the leftovers that I haven’t eaten or do I suffer my fear of Confrontation and go to the server and go hey these weren’t clean properly this is warm I don’t feel comfortable eating this and I the last I would eat so much poo rather than confront a service worker about an issue that’s um a personality trait of yours that I don’t love me NE you think I love it you think I like eating the Poo absolutely not you think I wish I could just ask for what I need and what I deserve of course but here I am you’re just going to eat poo huh you’re just going to eat poo it’s a metaphorical eating yeah big time Big Time metaphors in this um but even like other all you can eat with face think about sushi sushi um I don’t do it you I’ve never been you’ve never I’ve never but I would Thrive there I would Thrive at an all you can eat sushi bar dude my brother and I who you know we both grew up with the same amount of scarcity in our lives and he and I are both maturing as an adults and we’re financially stable so impressed by the two of you thank you so much uh but when we sometimes get together you Retreat back to that scarcity mindset and you go and you go I I need to hoard right now so we went to an all you can eat Su recently and he just this is maybe like four years ago and he just goes eight orders salmon eight orders Yellow Tail eight orders tuna 55 Burgers 55 P okay and then she and then the server walks away and then he opens the menu and goes I so what do you want to eat and I’m like Doug you just got 24 orders of sushi and he’s like well yeah that was just so they like get started on it and now we can like actually read what’s in the rolls and then we did we just sat there and we we calculated it Nicole he’s so much more frugal than I am that he went through the menu and he tabulated up how much everything would have cost all a cart came up with a number and said look we beat him by $80 wow and I was like why is it why does it have to be combative that’s it’s not he’s not combative he’s just doing the work he’s trying to beat them that just because you’re beating someone doesn’t mean you’re being combative you’re just better at them it’s fine you’re better than them it’s fine go John I’m on John’s side sorry um you know what I’ve never again since I I’ve always wanted to go to these places but I’ve never been CeCe remember that as I’ve never been to a CC’s Pizza there’s none near us is there I think there’s one in the valley is there or is there a CC’s Cafe I’m mixing it up definitely no cce’s pizza the the closest one was like way out um I think close to the Arizona border straight up really yeah like in the desert not frequenting the Arizona boner I don’t like Arizona it’s too hot I’ve never have I ever been I’ve only been a Flag Staff I always wanted to go to cce’s they have like a $5 Pizza buffet I feel like I throw up though okay so if you’re thinking about one of the reasons that buffets function economically too as opposed to any other sort of restaurant is that um there’s no servers right you got people slanging food in the back there’s people no there’s people the same level no people that take your drink orders they’re like less staff than normal restaurant there are certain things that all you can bu fets don’t have to do that normal restaurants do that c lower amount of Labor um I’m thinking about value here with cce’s pizza $5 all you can eat versus the gold standard of cheap takeaway pizza Little Caesars yeah hot and ready $5 hot and ready could you eat more than a single $5 hot and ready cuz when you go to Little Caesars you’re already paying $5 for perspectively all you can eat you shouldn’t eat more than a whole but let me tell you what it is it’s it’s the illusion it’s the illusion of like an oasis and like a myriad it’s like I can have a scoop of tun like I don’t know if they have tuna I’m going to I’m going to take Soup Plantation or Sweet Tomatoes I was going to say St Tomatoes weird Sweet Tomatoes you can have a scoop of their Teragon tuna salad you can have do you remember you remember their teron tuna salad does that mean you like introduced to Teragon via the sweet tomatoes and then you take their doughy pizza and then you take some I don’t know like some some crappy like spinach tomatoes and you put them on the side and then you have the self Ser it’s anend love chil yeah okay whatever like it’s an endless supply of food and combinations and it’s free will but it’s not really and it’s just fun and it’s crazy and you can flip the card over and the card says yes more I’ll be back or I am done take my plate you know what I mean it’s just it’s crazy all all the they had so many different kinds of pastas all of them taste the same though you can I was It was kind of confusing jez tasted like the the prim Vera and you could really tell why it it was so mushy it was so muchh and the pizza the yeast was so overproofed on those pizzas and you remember how they would cut it they would cut it and then there was they were supposed to be in like bars but but there was always like one part in the corner that had no sauce maybe like the size of a penny of like cheese and you’re like I guess I’ll take this one and then whenever the hot would come out people would run over you run over people would just stand and just be like you know what all you can eat I like though Brazilian barbecue that is the all you can eat of Kings cuz it’s meat and I like it but so you think you’re getting better value from that or no no no no no I I’m not no has nothing to do with value it has to do with the again the opulence and the vibe of someone in a cute little white shirt holding a skewer of me and saying more less how much do you want and I love that you like feeling taken care of I really do and Brazilian barbecue especially they come the skew and asking if you want rare medium whatever life how much I like to be taken care of it’s horrible you do but that’s like that is kind of the essence of why buffets took off in America right the cat like caters to you yeah people in America they especially I’m thinking buffets were the Golden Age of like my dad’s area when he grew up that’s why I hold them to such high self-esteem is Cracker Barrel and Golden Corral buffets I don’t I’ve never CRA Barrel is not Golden Corral I don’t know if Cracker Barrell has had salad bars at some point um Golden Corral though is okay cool um I’ve never been to a golden corow cuz they’re not as popular in California Hometown Buffet is the one that I grew up going to never been and I uh with my ex we decided to go on a date night and we were like HomeTown Buffet let’s like do a fun ironic date night at HomeTown Buffet and it was like pretty depressing yeah it wasn’t well you know we didn’t have a great relationship but um but it was like a really sad time and I thought it would be fun oh but it wasn’t fun like you didn’t find like the the campiness of it no oh no but but but but um my brother and I we did go to the Sizzler buffet with my grandma and that was we decided to have a little cooking competition and see you could create the most uh deranged items and um I made a Ceviche with the lemons from the iced tea and the uh imitation crab and then played it really nice on nachos and that’s fun did your grandma decide which one was better no she goes what the hell are you doing why are you playing with your food how sweet um speaking of sweet Plantation I’m sorry we should speaking of Sweet Tomatoes okay it was called yeah it’s just weird I it’s like the name of the business it’s there I don’t it’s like egg it’s the the breakfast restaurant in La you can say it I don’t want to say it egg tuck oh no no no they serve breakfast sandwiches egg tuck it’s not called egg tuck it’s look up egg tuck wait that’s a different that’s a whole different restaurant no it isn’t it’s an egg sandwich place I Googled it but you know the one I’m talking about you got say I don’t want say I’m not giving it to you I’m not giving it to you I don’t want to say it do I say it say I feel uncomfortable saying this it’s a gendered word and I I don’t know sure it is both yeah you know yeah and that makes you a I’m kidding no I’m kid that’s so bad that’s so bad so rude so bad that was really rude he’s talking about eggslut everybody I’m talking about yeah I’m talking about and if you can’t say it then it’s weird to me I don’t know saying UT is weird am I no never mind I’m not going than everyone else no no no no no I’m worse because I’m weird better about this Su Plantation killed somebody my local Su Plantation were talking about the problem of all you can eat buffet so I wanted to talk about the food safety issues Su Plantation was shut down for 4 months uh in ranch Santa Margarita might have been Mission Vio my neighboring town that I used to go to all the time and then one day I came and the doors were shuttered and there was caution tape and someone died of eoli and then they traced it to the spinach and they went to the farm and they’re trying to figure out track where it came from is their uh FedEd Water Somewhere did a worker do poo poo in the fields no turns out little kid turns out little kid G out of the bathroom with little poopy on his hands touch the spinach no how did they find someone died they they have like investigators when there’s a food outbreak investigators like go and like figure it out and they’re trying to make it easier with like um cereal coated like trackable vegetables and stuff okay yeah really cool but anyways yeah yeah just a little kid so that you know a lot of people have food safety concerns at the phase do you do I yeah have food safety concerns are you disgusted by the fact that people are just like you’ve seen how I operate around food I’m just touching everything I know but like let me tell you have you ever seen Matt TV where Mo Collins is that one lady and she goes to Buffet she goes underneath yes she the sneeze guard she breathes people are doing that and she goes remember shout out to everyone who grew up on that TV shout out to Mo Collins Mo Collins what a talent what a true Talent like that what her name was like Moren or am I just making this up I think her name was Mor something like that God yeah what a flashback um I’m trying to think she hike up her pants I don’t remember um but yeah like if someone’s doing that I have problems line lorine I have problems with that but like you know what everybody’s a little bit gross everybody’s a little bit gross are Buffet is a little bit grosser maybe like 5% but it’s but again am I frequenting Buffet no if I’m going to Buffet I’m going to one probably at Caesar’s Palace or the wi or MGM so I would like to think that they have high standards and their Protocols are are Nifty and Handy Dandy and they’re taking care of their staff and taking the staff is washing their hands and they’re washing their fruits and vegetables so you know and they generally they generally do not really you know they generally uh you have to um if you’re serving a buffet the food has to be what above 140° the pasteurization temperature and so like there like is involved uh but you know sometimes one of them little steros goes out you know uh do you tell them when the Sterno goes out what do you tell them when the Sterno goes out no no no I I don’t say crap man I don’t say crap I ate poo instead of asking for I always tell them the candle every if I’m at a wedding that has catering like like buffet style catering or if I’m at a buffet or anywhere always some hey your lamp went out no not me man I care we haven’t talked about the greatest Buffet of them all it’s the Indian lunch buffet baby Indian lunch buffet all the foods are meant to be on a buffet Nicole all all the rice the bread sit in the basket I love Indian lunch buffet so much I I had it for my I had an Indian lunch buffet on my high school graduation and me and my mom went together and we had the best time ever and I still remember it vividly it’s the one next to the former Westside Pavilion mall do you know what I’m talking about next and it was just so it was us to live right there did it was $9.95 and it was so good I remember the gulab jamun was perfect and warm it’s a good buff gorgeous and their lamb vindaloo was good and their everything like their doll Wy was everything there was so good and I remember it vividly and that is the best deal you will ever find and the most delicious food you will ever have in a buffet setting do you think that all you can eat buffet is have a place in America going forward like do you see them dwindling dwindling out nuh when are we going to return to our Roots Nicole and revive Sizzler in their delicious salad bar that inexplicably had fats of nacho cheese on it I think chain is doing that chain now Chain’s such a insular La celebrity thing yeah man yeah okay I love chain but you know I don’t know I like to think that they’re helping uh remind people of like love chain restaurants yeah I think they’re reminding people that chain restaurants exist but isn’t there like articles that say like a millennial and J zers are ruining buffets yeah we’ve killed like uh we’ve killed sizler like HomeTown Buffet I think may have completely shuddered um so we don’t seem that interested anymore but something must rise in its stead I don’t think it’s buffets again unless like some cool YouTubers do it hear me out all you can eat Korean barbecue but for every single culture so you just put like a giant plona in front of you and it’s like Italian and then they just come and they bring like raw spaghetti at your table and then you boil your own spaghetti and then you put that on the PLA and then they give you like red sauce and then they give you like a PES to gr your own pesto at the table and then they give you like gambas for like gambas Salah and then you like pop that on there so we do like Korean barbecue all you can eat but for every single culture and then we take the bread bread bread is free and then you get the free bread and that’s how they fill up and then how we win oh oh are you talking about like oh I see what you’re saying like it’s like you pick a package and like the package is like each country it’s like I want New Zealand today bring lamb yeah and it’s like uh my my date will have Vietnam yeah yeah and then and then Little Billy will have Spain but for the children all you can eat around the World Buffet every single nation that was a Sefi episode and that restaurant failed miserably God dang it well here’s the future of all you can eat buffet feel hey we got through a podcast look at this that was a

transferred to a 4-year University it’s about an hour plus away from my house so of course I need good material to listen to while I drive recently SoCal has been having crazy weather GH really uh so having this podcast made me feel less lonely and scared while driving in random storms it’s like I have them sitting in my car and we’re all just giggling over the different food opinions that get brought up I also tend to create my own opinions like I’m on the show then I relay these opinions to my boyfriend anyway highly recommend this podcast a little like heart with the carrot and the three love you guys he he he I give that a five it’s hard not to five star that that is it’s really cute it’s kind of what we want from people that’s like our ideal listener you know I love that you imagine us in the car yeah same I do you think I would be in the passenger seat or you would be in the passenger seat or we would both be in the back or like an Uber situation you would offer me the passenger seat and then I’d be like no no I don’t want to and then you’d try and take it then but then I’d go oh but like my back is kind of sore and I have really tight hips and so it’s kind of nice and then you’d begrudgingly give it to me no you know the way back no no you would sit in the front and then no no I would sit in the passenger and then you would lay down in the back I get car sick if I lay down in a car you do remember one time I took a nap in your car after a beia festival did you such a good nap that was I yeah I drank some I drank a couple bears drink a couple Bears there I ate a lot of goat I took such a fat nap so good I was filled with goat and beer which is how I always want to be okay let’s put our headphones on headphones on first I’d just like to say that the voicemail for this is uncomfortably sensual anyway my name is Logan and my favorite place to listen to the podcast is while I am cooking at my job CU I am in fact also a chef and it is my favorite place to laugh about food um secondly my hot take is that water should never be drink with food uhhuh a meal just doesn’t go with water there’s always a beverage that should be drink alongside a meal and water will never ever be that beverage interesting see I was thinking of it from a perspective of um when I was younger I had a friend whose dad said don’t drink and eat at the same time because it’ll expand your stomach M but I don’t know if that’s true but um this is a different direction than I thought it was going in this is like there are better options than water I think water is actually the best option I do too water’s the best I will typically not choose water I’ll probably choose a a fizzy Buble of some sort like but a flavored fizzy Buble or or a plain sparkling water sparkling water I had that same Instinct too that water is may be the best thing because it’s completely plain and it washes your pette a little bit but still leaves flavors lingering there you don’t have like a sharp change it’ll make you enjoy F more like I don’t need to have another flavor like I don’t need to have like a wine pairing every day of my life but like it doesn’t need to be wine like Snapple or something I don’t know if I’ve ever had like a wine pairing in where I was like M you know what I mean if anything I’ve never had a wine pairing period what I’ve never done that youve never had a wine pairing I’ve never gone somewhere and paid for wine pairing because I think it’s a scam I used to get a lot of like free fine dining meals when I was like making no money and in a lot of student debt which I felt cool at the time and then realized that Financial Independence is probably better than getting free stuff totally yeah yeah and so but I did a lot of like wine pairing stuff and I would play along like I understood it and then I would be like but the wine makes the food taste worse and the food makes the wine taste worse I know people will call me a Rube for that but I would just yeah I’m a rub same um the way that I prefer drinking I at first I was like water great you should have that and then I remember that like beer exists and eating spicy Thai food with beer come on that’s fantastic or you go to a taco truck you get a Mexican Coke oh yeah bang bang flavor gang that’s a good time but I believe this person is saying everything has a better pairing than water think think about like Foods at home that you’re eating you’re eating spaghetti and meatballs what’s the pairing a cherry bubbly right yeah yeah I think maybe there’s something better than water for every food and treating it like a part of the meal that’s interesting but but I’m not no no I’m on autopilot though I’m just I think she’s arguing that you shouldn’t be you know you shouldn’t be on autopilot Nicole you should be actively taking control of your own destiny I do and enjoying your B can I tell you something I am so in control of my destiny that I allow frivolous decision decisions like the drinks that I pair with my food to not Define my life damn I have a sore throat from laughing so much is the plural of bino bini hi Josh Nicole my name is Eliza I live in Philadelphia I love your show listen to every episode I need you to settle a debate gladly my brother insists that the best way to eat hardboiled eggs is hot I think it’s really gross only eat them cold this is a great do you prefer your hot hardboiled eggs hot or cold thank you fascinating I have not thought about the temperature of my hard boil egg in so long but it flooded so many memories and opinions back to me God as someone who eats a lot of hardboiled eggs she does I do I love them they’re my fixation meal right now I don’t like them hot or cold I like them room temp room temperature is the correct answer room temperature hm no cold cold I also like them cuz of salads uh because eggs the ultimate the ultimate Ascension of a hard-boiled egg all hardboiled eggs want to be egg salad eventually no what do you mean sometimes they can just exist but why why would you not want it like chopped up with I’m not anid person I’m you tell me you like hardboiled eggs but not egg salad correct what about like mayonnaise like an U mayones or a devil EG oh I yeah I like devil eggs well you throw a deviled egg against a wall that’s an egg salad but you don’t like it thrown against a wall you only eat your whole egg salad M yeah so smug you were so smug right now you know you know you were like if you take a devil EG and you throw it on the wall that’s an egg salad so smug so smug but no I like the the I like eating it like an apple just whole you don’t even cut it in half no I cut it in half but then I eat it like apple that’s how you eat apples you cut them in half and he eat the yolk when’s the last time you saw me eat an apple yeah why don’t you eat apples I’m eatting apples all the never when’s the last time you saw me eat an apple almost a week ago yeah I did I ate one today I wasn’t there into it hard to believe I wasn’t there watching you eat an apple I watch you all the time I watch you all all the other times the first person I ever watched uh eat a hard boiled egg my brother older brother so I took a lot from him right so much John content a meaningful part of my life so he would cut the hardboiled egg in half down the middle and then he would put a little square of cheddar cheese on it and he would microwave it eat that I would it and I didn’t like it but my older brother did it so I did it I realize hot I don’t think for me is ever the answer for a hardboiled egg I think it’s got hardboiled eggs are quite eggy you’re L preserving all of it straight up egg all the aroma you know in there and I don’t think that’s the most Pleasant for some people I have a pretty high eggy tolerance too I have a very high egg tolerance as of right now but me call me in like three and a half weeks it’s going to be a problem to me cold mutes the flavors of the egg too much but I also think cold firms up the proteins of the whites in a really Pleasant way cuz I love T ailed egg totally so what you’re sacrificing in Aroma which one it’s egg aroma so it’s not the best Aroma in the world I think cold is the objectively correct answer here I had a girlfriend uh we used to go to SMC Santa Monica College it was me her and her ex-boyfriend he would drive us to school and she would eat hardboiled eggs in the car and they were like from like a few days ago like two three days like maybe two days or maybe the morning of I don’t know she would crack it and her ex-boyfriend would say don’t do that don’t ever eat in my car don’t eat your hardboiled eggs in my car it’s disgusting and we pull down all the windows and make a big deal and they’re not together anymore but she found a man who she’s in a beautiful loving relationship and she’s still eating car eggs I I don’t know I hope she is I hope she didn’t change no she’s great and she’s in a very happy loving relationship what we’re saying is it doesn’t matter what temperature your legs has begs it matters that you’re eating them in a car against somebody’s will he was so mad I would be too I but I no I don’t you would be mad too no I literally talked about how I ate poo instead of confronting somebody so I just let it happen but then afterwards I’d be like oh it smells like eggs one more one more come on two more two more one more thing I have one more thing to say about cars stop pause it pause it remember one time we went to Red Lobster and then I brought the Red Lobster with me and everyone was mad because I wanted to feed Jonathan you remember that Jonathan yeah the guy that works here oh yeah I didn’t why were you why did you want to feed Jonathan specifically I said I wrote in the slack Channel and I said hey we’re at we’re at Red Lobster I got a bunch of food who wants it he’s like me oh great and then I put it in the car and then we had like a 50-minute drive and everyone was so mad at me how did we end up with that Red Lobster GI card because you because we won something on GMM and then you said let’s get a Red Lobster gift card even though we could have gotten anything else you decided on a Red Lobster gift card you and Ryan Moody and me and Trevor and then Ben came too I thought it’d be nice you you caused so many problems that day I we had a good
