    Episode 110: Spinach Artichoke Dip
    Feb 9 2025

    Neither Noah nor Louisa is a fan of American football, but that's not going to stop them from digging into the usual Super Bowl spread—metaphorically or literally. This time, they get into what makes a food "Mediterranean," dunk a bit on the Ñational Football League (not a typo), and even manage to find a couple ways to elevate your typical dip.

    Episode 109: Cauliflower
    Feb 2 2025

    For the third entry of our Brassicameron—the No Substitutions, Please take on the Cornetto Trilogy, obviously—we take on the fluffy white cabbage that's been with us since the Romans insisted on calling it by a thousand different names. Noah and Louisa talk about all the things you can do with that thing that looks like the ghost of broccoli.

    Episode 108: Schnitzel
    Jan 26 2025

    The meat that launched a thousand names; no matter what language you use to refer to a vast expanse of flattened, breaded and fried meat, we can all agree it's a delicious focus for any meal. So, of course, Noah and Louisa take their meat mallets to a few doofuses who can't seem to get it right.
