What’s Up with Food - Ep 31

(Jamón Ibérico / Croissant / Paella) We reach the end of our epic trilogy of travel episodes with a jaunt through Portugal, Spain, and France, where Brandon experiences a brand new phenomenon called “being wine drunk.” We also investigate the international scam known as Tapas restaurants, debate which film Nicolas Cage deserves a retroactive Oscar for, and try to answer a question that has plagued mankind for centuries: What is Paella?

(California Pizza Kitchen / In-N-Out / California Roll) Welcome back to a new episode of FMK - the only podcast about food! Marli takes us on a magical tour of the undiscovered gem known as the state of California. Along the road trip, we visit a destruction derby, buy our cats a cheezburger, and learn the heartwarming origin story of California Pizza Kitchen.

(Gelato / Cacio e Pepe / Moscato) Allison takes us on a whirlwind tour of Italy, where she becomes extremely horny for both Parmesan wheels and the Cher/Nicolas Cage classic, Moonstruck. We detour just long enough to answer some hot questions - do you need a knife and fork to eat pizza? What’s up with Allison’s love life? And how exactly are the British still in business?

(Peking Duck/ Risotto /Croquembouche) We’re back after a trip around the world in which we sampled all of its finest cuisines and definitely didn’t just eat pizza rolls while sobbing under our covers! To celebrate our triumphant return, we dig into some foods that take A REALLY LONG ASS TIME to prepare. Bon appétit! Got a great FMK idea?

We’re taking a little hiatus but we’ll be back soon!

(Broccoli/Broccolini/Broccoli Rabe) Our second installment of Sierra Quiros's visit to FMK Headquarters takes an unexpectedly green turn with a matchup straight from the farmer's market. Sierra also reveals how not caring that much about pasta led her to create an iconic pandemic-era food game, insists on re-opening some old lollipop wounds, and joins us in the hunt for an illusive (some say non-existent) recipe for non-bitter broccoli rabe. Sierra Victoria Quiros is the creator of Only One Forever (a quarantine game show) and founder of Hamov Eh, Armenian-inspired blends you can use for just about anything. https://hamoveh.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hamoveh/ https://www.instagram.com/onlyoneforever_/

(Pilaf / Boreg / Manti) Guest Sierra Quiros helps us navigate the wide landscape of Armenian cuisine. We also get down at a ghost party for all our grandmas, and, if that wasn't enough - finally unlock the true secret of veganism.

(Pastrami on Rye/Bagels/Matzo Ball Soup) Rani Cheema returns to heat things up to brutal levels of spice, blasting out our taste buds and possibly triggering some latent LSD. Speaking of trips, we also drool over her upcoming culinary group expeditions. Finally, she brings us an FMK that nearly nearly Allison to tears. We have to ask: is all this legally binding?

(Moo Shu/Sesame Chicken/Wonton Soup) Rani Cheema schedules a layover with us to talk about her journey from Food Network designer to international traveler extraordinaire. Of course, we also discuss Chinese food in Rome, why Starbucks will probably never sponsor us, and coffee as a psychedelic experience Find Rani at @cheemastravel Instagram and https://www.cheemastravel.com

(Lunchables/Goldfish/Raisinets) Against all odds, Madison agrees to come back for her own FMK, and it's a real blast from the past. While revisiting our elementary school lunchboxes, we chat all things Clearly Canadian, the one thing French people will not allow you to do with your popcorn, and the inexplicable existence of the Pizza Lunchable.
