All-star, all-rookie, national champion, rebounding dynamo, Forbes 30 under 30, social media mogul, the Bayou Barbie. These are mere descriptors. None could ever fully contain the verisimilitude and complexity of the one and only, Angel Reese. That's where the food scientists at McDonald's step in. A meal perfectly constructed and calibrated to the exact specification of its namesake. A meal that can stand on its own, above the fray. Something unique, something... special? This week on the PodFast FoodCast: the Angel Reese Special.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast

Inglewood, California. Home of the 2028 Summer Olympics, birthplace of WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, setting of the Rick Famuyiwa film Dope, and in the summer of 1995 a young Aaquil Iben Shamon Brown welcomed his younger brother Khalif into the world. The duo would later be known by the noms de guerre Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee, or more widely known as Rae Sremmurd. Two decades would pass before the brotherly pair would take the world by storm with their debut triple platinum single "No Flex Zone" and another decade still before the iconic trap track would be immortalized in a commercial so audacious, so entrancing that it captured the hearts and minds of broadcast television viewers the world over.We focus on a father sitting around the family dinner table with his wife and two daughters engaged in a battle of wills, competing to emerge victorious in a match of Hasbro's ever popular board game, Jenga. He locks in, laser focused, the dulcet tones of Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee surround us, only to be distracted by his younger daughter with the allure of an irresistible chicken sandwich. The tower collapses, game over.Hard cut. We pan out to reveal the entire family basking in the afterglow of a hard fought battle, with a celebratory feast of east Texas' own: Wingstop. Dad has the sandwich in hand. Baskets upon baskets of their sumptuous chicken tenders, each daughter with one of their own. Ramekins of the classic house made ranch dressing placed generously around the table. The smell of freshly cut french fries fills the air. This meal has it all. Rae Sremmurd fades out, sending the viewer to a palace of nostalgic bliss. This is the vision of an idyllic world. Family, brotherhood, competition, togetherness, the American Dream, desire, Black Beatles, and fried chicken.

Sides, the backbone of any meal. From french fries to onion rings, we at the PodFast FoodCast HQ have reviewed a great many number of "tag-a-longs" and "sidekicks". But it's been nearly two years since we last took a look at one of the quintessential backyard BBQ staples: macaroni and cheese. And what better way to triumphantly return to the world of "also-rans" and "other guys" then spending an afternoon with our close personal friend Colonel Sanders, and his famous restaurant, Kentucky Fried Chicken. That's right, we had the KFC Mac & Cheese, and now it's time for the review.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast

The fourth season of the PodFast FoodCast is here, and it's time for these old dogs to learn some new tricks. You see, the last few seasons we've kicked things off with a review of a McDonald's breakfast item. This season? A Chick-fil-A breakfast item. Completely different. Remember the 'dles? You guys loved those. Those are gone too, we play Sporcle quizzes now.

What better way to close 2024 then with a brand new release from our friends over at Taco Bell. That's right, we're reviewing the Taco Bell chicken nuggets. As we wind down season three of the PodFast FoodCast, Ryan and Steven take the time to say goodbye to some old friends, play a familiar game, and discuss Adam Sandler's notable birthday. We'll see you in 2025!Intro/Outro Music: Auld Lang Syne by United States Marine Band Public Domain Mark 1.0 License.burger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast
