What's the best delivery food when it arrives cold? I got some 'totchos' (tater tot nachos) and the congealed cheese really worked for me.

In the song Sanctified by Rick Ross featuring Kanye West, Rick Ross raps, "felatio's amazing, make grilled cheese for you, the best..." Implying that Rick Ross rewards people who blow him with grilled cheeses. What would you make for an SO as a food reward?

What do you think are the most distinguishing "food characteristics" of each generation? For instance, I would say (in general) Baby Boomers think brussel sprouts are gross. Or, one might say that Millennials just can't get enough ass munching. What do you think? Generation Z? Baby Boomers? Gen Xers? Zoomers? Millennials? Wiger, you might be able to speak on the food preferences of The Silent Generation, yes?

We have a local Cajun restaurant here in Detroit (Howe's Bayou) that serves up a hot green salad, and it's actually pretty tasty! I'm with Wiger on this one: hot salad is good! PS: Sorry for the drunk guy trying to get on stage at your last Detroit show, that was nuts.

If you could only eat plants domesticated in either the Old or New World, which would you pick? For reference: OW gets Wheat, Rice, Onion, Garlic, Olives, Banana, Apple, Grape, Citrus, Mango, Cinnamon, Ginger NW gets Corn, Potato, Tomato, Beans, Peppers, Strawberry, Blueberry, Avocado, Cocoa, Vanilla (See the doughboyspod email for a Wiger-length version of this question.)

Mitch, Nick, Emma and Yusong! Have you ever had an amazing meal but never hit the same way since? I always think of this sandwich I had in Philly from a stand in Reading Terminal Market. It was sliced roasted pork, broccoli rabe, and fresh provolone - delish! I went back a few years later and it was good but not as good as the first time. Hope you guys can come back to DC soon! We're good for more than just insurrections.

I always find that appetizers like hummus and spinach/artichoke dip never come with enough things to dip (pita, bread, etc.). Is this just me? What other food ratios do you think need to be fixed? Also, my friends and I (all sleep experts) have been wondering - who is Wiger's sleep doctor? Shout out to the sleep cabal. #spoonnation

Hi 'boys! With covid raging right now, one of my biggest fears is developing permanent anosmia or ageusia, which is a loss of sense of smell and taste respectively. My question is, if you had selective ageusia for the rest of your life, which type of flavor would you be most and least sad to lose: sweet, salty, sour, bitter or umami? -Ed from Indiana

Hey Nick, Mitch, Emma, and Yusong! I'm a pathology resident, and one area of pathology that's possible as a career is autopsy/forensic pathology, so we get pretty extensive training in those areas. Part of performing an autopsy is examining the stomach contents and structure for anything unusual. I have been fortunate in my time to not come across anything super gross in the stomach, but one of the pathologist assistants at my program (shoutout to Rachel!) has shared how she came across lo mein in a decedent's stomach and now she can't eat lo mein. So my question is: what is a food that you can no longer enjoy due to something you've experienced? Love the show! Thanks for getting me through some long days at the hospital. All the best, Michael

Many chain restaurants have regional items or tendencies that only exist there. For example, in Singapore McDonalds has pandan McFlurry, Subway has a bulgogi sub, and Starbucks has a poached pear pure matcha latte. If you could import a regional flair to a chain, which chain and what region?

I'm not sure if here or the Doughscord (or email) is the best place to post our feedbag questions for the upcoming double... But... Here it is: What do you guys think is the ideal amount of time to eat a meal in? I'm sure it depends on the particular meal and the situation - so when do you like a nice long meal? And when do you like to keep it short? Are you slow eaters or quicker than most? Thanks! Anna (Bozeman, MT)

I have a friend who adopted a dog recently, and revealed to me that he tastes all of the food and treats he feeds his dog. He says that it's generally awful and tastes nowhere near as good as it sometimes smells. So, my question is, have you ever tried pet food or treats and have you ever come across one that was actually good enough to be part of your regular snack rotation? I planned to asked this question at the New York show because it's dog related but when you opened the floor for questions I got scared and my girlfriend wasn't willing to go up and ask for me.

Hey Doughboys. What’s your favorite type of gummy candy? I’m partial to the gummy frogs and sharks for that tender, white underbelly. P.S. I met Mitch outside the New York show in October. We took a photo with the whippit container and I drank some of his tequila. You guys are the best!

Hi Doughboys! Daniel from New York here. A few years ago my friend John and I saw Doughboys live at Gramercy Theater on 9/6/2019. John and I had quite a few drinks before the show, celebrating our first hangout post the birth of his first child. As we approached the theater, a guy was trying to sell his backstage VIP tickets but was having no luck. I guess he could tell we were excited to get in and asked if we wanted his upgraded tickets for free...we of course said yes. After the show, we got to meet you backstage and, in my drunken excitement, I offered Mitch an idea: A doughboys spinoff called "SNOWBOYS" where the boys review cocaine...then I asked him if he wanted to party after the show. Mitch declined, and later Nick referred to me as a "Tour Psycho" on a double. Fast forward two and half a years...you can imagine the SHOCK and ANGER I felt when I saw the upcoming episode of the Doughboys double would be titled "SNOWBOYS"!!! My question is: Can I be compensated for this egregious lifting of my idea (I will accept merchandise). Thank you for many, many, many years of laughs. Listening to new and old episodes of the show during the pandemic made some of the darkest days not so bad. Best, D

I loved the McDonald's Arch Deluxe that was on the menu for a brief time in the 1990's. Unfortunately, it was a flop and didn't stick around long. Do any of you have any memory of that tasty, tasty burger? Are there other items that were considered duds on fast food menus that you have an affinity for despite its reputation?

Erik Urdahl

2022-01-17 21:50:29 +0000 UTC

I recently had a baby and am debating what the first fast food treat should be when he is able to eat solid foods! I live on the east coast and have fond memories of McDonald’s happy meals. My husband is definitely an advocate for pizza. Thanks Kelly from Charlottesville

Have you ever taken someone to a chain where they COMPLETELY did not get it? I went to college in Ithaca (Mitch, Yusong, hope you recognize the following landmark) and on route 13 there was a McDonald's that as of the mid 2010s was still 'rocking' the guitars and jukebox theming. One time in college I went with a group of friends. We were in line to order behind what seemed to be a student, their mother, and their grandmother. As they stepped up to order the Grandmotherly woman stage-whispered to the others "I don't like ANY of this shit." The other two placed their order, and then their elderly companion asked the cashier for "A toasted bun with margarine." He explained to her that he would have to charge for a full burger adding as an afterthought, "... we don't have margarine." I do not remember the resolution to this story, but the surreal exchange haunts me to this day. I desperately need answers, but I will settle for your thoughts and answers to my question: Have you or an acquaintance ever grossly misunderstood the concept of a chain restaurant? Ian from Philly

When you eat McDonald’s alone in your car, do you open the windows? I don’t like to let the stank out.

Hey Everyone! First time, long time. Lately I’ve noticed that my burger preference will be based on the sauces I’m craving. If I’m feeling ketchup and mustard I’ll get a quarter pounder from McDonald’s, if I’m feeling fancy, I’ll go for the ketchup-mayo fancy sauce you get at Wendy’s. When I’m making a burger at home, it’s always where I start. Do I want one or the other or even all three which can be a bit messy. Do you guys have a sauce preference when it comes to topping your own burger? Thanks and plleeeaase come to Toronto some time for a live show! Mike

Hi everyone, this question is for everyone but I’m gonna aim it directly at Mr Slice since he’s been cooking up a storm recently. What’s one food/meal you’ve always wanted to make yourself but have never tried for whatever reason? For me it’s a homemade Montreal Smoked meat. If you’re ever in Montreal, please go to Snowden deli and not Schwartz’s. Schwartz’s is dry and for tourists. Also I think the Knife hasn’t lived in Canada for too long because Harvey’s sucks and has for years. Thanks folks!

Greetings, D'boys! During 2021, I did several cycles of Whole30 and one of the meals that became a go-to was doing a fried riced cauliflower and serving it over a bed of chilled leaf spinach. So, a sincere question to a Doughboys runner: when does a salad become a "hot salad?" Does one hot ingredient make it "hot" (e.g. grilled chicken), do the greens have to be warm or is it somewhere in between? Your answer won't change my eating habits with my meal but I was just curious if it would qualify as "hot salad" territory. Thanks for the hours of laughs while I try to keep from falling off of the treadmill! -Jonathan

I went to LA for a vacation a few years ago. We only had time for one dinner there and we didnt know where to go. We just picked a random spot and it turned out to be terrible. The waitress was talking shit about us 10 feet away to the bartender. We had one person order an steak sandwhich from the menu and they came out with a steak salad that was not on the menu. The only bright spot was the food runner who was great and attentive. We made sure he got a great tip. My question is have you ever gone on a trip and been super excited for a meal only to be so horribly let down? I didnt want to name the place originaly but then i heard about the stories there. It was the pig and whistle.

My wife and I have a baby that we'll be introducing to solid foods soon. It's our first kid and as we've been reading in preparation for the transition we realized that we knew almost nothing about what solid foods babies can eat. I figure the Doughboys are equally clueless about babies, so I'd love to hear them speculate about how to start babies on solids: what foods are appropriate, how to prepare the food, what ages to start, etc.

You have to eat at one chain, for every meal, for the rest of your life. Where are you going? Note: Since you’ll be eating year-round, seasonal items are available, so if you can’t live without shamrock shakes or pumpkin spice lattes, they will be available at their usual time

Hello, Dough bros. First time, long time. If you had to go back in time and choose a food region to grow up in that isn't LA or Boston, what region would you choose? I would've loved growing up around NY/east coast pizza scene. Would you like a Tex-Mex food scene? Deep south? Miami? Chicago? Send all my love to Emma, Yusong, and DeeKee. Thanks!

If you were to have children, and a chain restaurant asked you to give your child a name based on their restaurant to get free food for life, which restaurant are you choosing? And what is the name? It can be any part of the name as well. First name like Wendy Wiger, or middle name like Steve Mayor McCheese Mitchell.

Hey Doughboys, I hope this isn’t too grim, but as of this morning I am now a member of the dead dads club with Spoon Man. It’s not great! But I really want to thank you both for the comfort, joy, and laughter that you brought me during the past month that my dad was in the hospital. Doughboys is the only podcast that can make me cry with laughter during the darkest of times! Anyway, my question is have you ever been to a five-fork funeral, and if so, what food was served there? What do you think are the best and worst foods to serve at a funeral? Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I love you goofballs.

When I went to Japan a few years back, I had an egg sandwich and teriyaki powdered fries. Are there any international fast food variations you’d want to try?

After winning the NBA Championship, Giannis Antetokounmpo went to Chic Fil-A and ordered a 50-piece nuggets with a half-Sprite, half-lemonade. If you ever won and NBA championship or the podcast equivalent, what would your post-trophy celebration meal be? Also, fuck the Celtics.

I once went to a Denny’s super late with some friends and after placing our order with our server, we hear him get in a pretty loud confrontation with another server (who was probably 20-30 years older than him), and then we see the older server open hand slap our server across the face! We sat in stunned silence until our server came over and we asked him if he was ok, he said he was fine but was definitely visibly shaken and upset. Two days later we read in the paper that an employee of that Denny’s came into work the day after that exchange with a large knife and attempted to confront the employee that slapped him!!! What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen an employee of a restaurant do while you were there? Love the show love you guys Dave from Quincy/the doughscord

Is there a certain restaurant or food item that you can’t eat anymore because you associate it with a person from your past and want to avoid the memories?

Is there a food you thought you loved as a kid, but when you got older you realized you only liked that one specific version and all other versions were trash? I thought jellybeans were my favorite candy as a kid but I realized I only liked one brand (Just Born which I think is regional) and all others are merely fine or actually bad.

I recently completed a cross-country road trip. Picking food on-the-road can be challenging: do I fiddle with my phone in the hopes of finding some highway-side gem? skip meals while driving and just snack? or pick from whatever options appear on the ubiquitous blue signs 1/2 miles before an exit? Perhaps hardest of all: do I go with what sounds tasty, or with what will ensure I don't need to acquaint myself with a nearby toilet before I reach my night's destination? So, my broad question for you: how do you munch on the road?

When I was a preteen, my parents went on vacation to the Bahamas and left me alone for a few days (don’t worry, my grandparents lived next door). One of the meals that I made for myself was simply a full can of Pillsbury crescent rolls and a sizable amount of butter as a side. Are there any insane meals you made for yourselves as kids while home alone?

I got some pizza-flavored potato puffs in Austria recently that were one of the best snacks I’ve ever had, and it got me wondering—what are the best and worst snacks you’ve had from another country?

If you could only eat from a single cuisine for each meal which would they be? I’d do Vietnamese for breakfast, Italian for lunch and Indian for dinner

Favorite Dad related food bits? My dad would cook blue berry pancakes for my brother and I. Eventually he would say, “Does anyone want another pancake? Just a small one?” Then he’d pour rest of the batter into the pan and bring out a GAINT pancake! What a thrill and a great dad bit. For context, I’m also in the dead dad club with Mitch and friend of the show Jon Gabrus. That’s one of my favorite bits my Dad would do and specifically wonder if Mitch has one to share.

Big fan of the Doughfolks. My question: in the game Bugsnax for the PS5, you go around feeding bugs to different islanders. As the islanders eat the bugs, their body parts transform—a pineapple spider turns an arm into a pineapple; a submarine centipede turns a leg into a submarine. In this way, the game becomes a metaphor for the phrase “you are what you eat.” Two parter, here: 1. what would your bodies be transformed into in the past week? 2. What would your IDEAL Bugsnax body be? Much love, Jonathan Volk

What's the best pizza to eat cold the next morning? I think Dominos with extra sauce and the herb butter crust is the perfect morning flavor bomb. I also think your classic NYC slice is not great cold in the morning (it's still good, just not great) unless you cover it in hot sauce.

Growing up, we rarely ate fish because my dad didn't like fish (though he liked shellfish and shrimp) and I didn't drink tea until college because my mom hated tea. Now as an adult salmon is one of my favorite foods and I regularly drink tea. What are some parent or family food prejudices that you got over when you left home and started trying new things?

You have been cursed and for the rest of your life every sandwich/burger/etc. that you eat has to be made using the same type of bread. E.g. just sesame seed buns from here on out. What are you picking?

Hello Doughboys, I recently learned from a cousin of mine who is in the Navy that while he was stationed on a ship at sea for multiple months they had a full functioning Starbucks onboard the aircraft carrier. Not a knockoff or limited menu, a full on real Starbucks. If you were deployed at sea for an extended period of time, what is one chain you would choose to have aboard?

Hello Dough-fam! I am a connoisseur of the fast food LTO (Limited Time Offering). I basically always want to order a limited time sandwich from any of the Big 3 burger chains, which presents a problem for a chain like McDonalds which only sporadically offers limited time offerings. My question is: do you enjoy taking the risk on an LTO knowing it could be worse than the regular sandwiches on the menu? and are there any LTOs that you still think fondly on (besides the McDLT)? thanks!

Similarly to Mitch's ludicrous take that cupcakes are pies, my wife and I have had a long-standing disagreement on the classification of a food type. Over the 13 years we've been together, we've constantly had arguments over whether cheesecakes should be identified as a cake or a pie (she's adamant that cheesecakes are pies). We've polled almost everyone we know about this at one point or another, and the opinions are surprisingly balanced. Could you lend your expertise and help us settle this once and for all? Thanks, love the show!

I love you doughboys and Emma, et al. What is an appropriate time of day to eat a cheesecake? It feels like it's not beyond reason for it to be a breakfast item (not that different from a Danish), but after dinner dessert seems to be what the world has agreed on and I think it is a huge limitation

Paul Warner

Hey Doughboys, We all know there's a worker shortage at most chain restaurants (caused by poor wages). If you were drafted, Tomorrow War-style, to work at a chain restaurant for two weeks, what restaurant would you want to work at and what job would you want to do there?

What is the best fast food deal you have encountered? Back in the mid 90s there was a Subway I would go to in NYC that had 2 foot longs for $8. 12 years before the $5 foot long promotion. Also in the early 90s at a McDonalds in Florida I went to, there use to be 29 Cent Hamburger Tuesdays and 39 Cent Cheeseburger Wednesdays.

hi d’boys, emma and yusong! Jimmy and Alice, big fans from Glasgow, Scotland here. One of our national delicacies is the munchie box - a 12 inch pizza box filled with a variety of delicious fried foods. These can include pakora, chips (aka fries), kebabs, onion rings, garlic bread and more. There are even breakfast varieties including a full scottish breakfast served in the classic cardboard pizza box. Our question is simple: what would you put in your dream munchie box? Thank you for your time, you legends xx

Hey boys, Emma, and ghost of Yusong! I’m sorry to say that one of the Wendy’s nearest my house recently closed out of the blue. This is kind of a bummer for me cause it was on my way home from work and I would occasionally stop for a treat like a Junior bacon cheeseburger or Spicy chicken sandwich on a crappy day. My question is, what is the most you’ve ever ever been impacted by the closing of an individual location of a larger chain? Thanks, love you all!

Doughboys generally is not a political show, but when you do talk politics, you express support for workers and criticism of capitalism (cards on the table, I think that’s cool and I agree with you). Would you all consider yourselves socialists, and either way, what was your path to your politics?
