G'day Doughboys, Emma and Yusong. Big fan writing to you from south of the border, down Australia way. After a recent conversation with a few mates we got to talking about food. The question was raised; If you could only eat foods that start with one letter of the alphabet, what letter are you going with? So I throw this question to you Nick and Mitch, which letter would you choose? Personally, I've gotta go with 'P'. You've got Pizza, prime rib, porterhouse, pancakes, parmigiana, potatoes, pasta and peanut butter and peanut butter related products (I'm a peanut butter freak, baby! Can you blame me?). Keep up the great work legends, Luke

Luke Mckay

Will Now that Mitch is in a movie with Chris Pratt are you worried he's going to find out you've slammed him as a fake fat guy???

Hey Doughboys/Yusong/Emma, if you were to get a pet, other than a dog or a cat, what would it be? At my house we have two cats and a potbelly pig.

Daniel Siudzinski

Does Whipped Cream (cool whip, whipped topping, etc) have a flavor?

JG.Chatt

I say pupcorn.

Tom C

Nick this is your former Optometrist. I was saying “face me” as I do to all my patients, not “kiss me” as you claim, why are you trying to turn my office into a den of lies?

Earthbound books

If you could create a mascot or cast of characters (e.g., McDonald's crew or Burger King kingdom) for an existing chain restaurant that doesn't already have one, what would they be and what is their story?

Sam Engebretson

If you had to eat a person who would you eat?

Robby Turnmire

Do you believe in ghosts? (This has nothing to do with food, but I'd love to know everyone's thoughts)

Zack Inglis

Hey y’all! What would your perfect picnic be? Where, with whom, what food and drink?

Jes with one S

What food mascot (Ronald McDonald, Tony the Tiger, etc) could you beat up in a fight, and which one would kick your ass the most?

John

Do you guys enjoy other food based entertainment? Top Chef, Chef's Table, Bon Appétit on youtube?

Chris Spinney Long

In the sense that an animal can represent you in spirit as a “spirit animal”, I was wondering what food item represents your spirit of who you are?

William Lariviere

If you had to create the ultimate fast food combo by buying only one item from every chain, what would your combo consist of?

Erik Kang

Hello Spoonman, Burger Boi, Emma, Yusong, Wolly, and Irma. This question is specifically for Nick and Mitch. One of the best parts of your show is your constant bickering, but we all know you actually love each other. What's the best (non-doughboy's, non-chain restaurant) meal the two of you have ever shared together as friends?

Vinnie Spano

What fast food chain that doesn't do breakfast would you like to see try a breakfast menu? Also, I had Regina Pizzeria in a mall food court and even that reheated slice lived up to the review from the Boston show.

Adam

Not much of a question, but I wanted to say a lot of us appreciate the effort you’re making to record new episodes while Mitch is on location.

Douglas “Scoop” Reinhardt

Hello Doughboys! So, a cryptid is any creature whose existence has not been verified, ie Bigfoot, mothman, or the Mongolian deathworm. If you could roast up any cryptid and serve it for dinner, which would you eat?

Adava

Hey doughboys! If you were forced into having a wacky themed restaurant, like a “Rain forest Cafe, or Dicks Last Resort” what would it be, what would you name it, and what’s the signature dish or cocktail?

Mitch Erickson

Hey guys! First of all, thank you for making my daily 1 hour commute to work tolerable and...dare I say...enjoyable? My question is: if you wanted to combine two menu items from two different fast food chains into one Frankenfood, what would they be? I would go the sweet route and combine Portillo's chocolate cake shake with the brownie batter blizzard from Dairy Queen.

Rin Martens

Mitch, why would you take nick to the Midwest during the winter for shows?!? Do you want him to quit touring for good? Cleveland in January is usually hell froze over!

Rebe K

Hey all, Are there any snacks for you where the concept outweighs the actual execution? For example, the choco taco is *fun* to eat for its concept, but there are definitely better frozen treats.

Seagulls

Hey Mitch, Nick, Emma & Yusong, I remember seeing an Instagram post by The Rock showing his 8,000+ calorie meals that were part of his body-building diet. If you guys were going to put together a 8,000 calorie meal that you’d be able to stomach in one sitting what would it consist of? Thanks! #SpoonNation

Jack Livingston

Will you guys consider going to 1) The Vortex (technically a chain! 2 locations!) 2) mellow mushroom (hippie pizza chain), 3) Zesto (old school fast food chain), or Ted’s Montana Grill (steakhouse named after Ted Turner, potential for v good intro)

Chase Mitchell

Hi Mitch Nick Emma and Yusong, 2 Chainz and I are both from Atlanta and he has rapped about ordering the patty melt with hash browns from Waffle House. I also love this combo, but it’s definitely not what Waffle House is known for. My question is are their any menu items from chain restaurants that are not in their typical wheel house but you have a soft spot for? #Tartgang #Youafoolmitch -Kyle

Kyle Norton

Hiya Doughboys! Just got back from a Food Truck Fest in Salem, MA. I was really overwhelmed by choice and felt like I truly messed up both in order and choice of food (Belgian waffle, chicken empanada, and then a Snow Cone)....what's a good progression of food and best foods to get in a food truck/diverse cuisine scenario? Come back to Boston again soon! -Miriam

Miriam

Have you ever known someone who worked at a chain restaurant, that made you something off-menu, that you’ve never been able to get without that original person’s help? What was the item, and have you tried to recreate?

Rob Schulte

Hello Doughboys! I used to work at a local chicago sandwich shop and to keep ourselves entertained we made up slang names for most of the food items on the menu and referenced them in a southern accent. Some of those include mackers(Mac and cheese), mashers(mash potatoes), cold slop (coleslaw), buttnut (butternut squash), ball on white (meatball sub) and many others. Do y’all have any fun pet names for food items from fast food restaraunts or anywhere else? Spoon nation because I’m pretty sure I’m also from monster island.

Brian Doran

Have you thought about reviewing non-food chains? Like Wal-Mart or Best Buy? What I really want to know is: how many forks would you give CVS Pharmacy?

Jacob Moore

Mitch my wife, dog (Dory) and I live in Southie and our best friends live in Quincy. What’s the best Chinese food restaurant there? Also fat cat moved locations. When we go in there and mention your name do you think they’ll give us a round on you?

regis philbin

What fictional restaurant or restaurant from a movie/tv show would you like to dine at?

Azaria Noelle

Hello Emma, Mitch, Nick and Yusong -- which person would you want to write the foreword to your respective future biographies? #burgerbrigade 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙇🏻‍♂️

David Wong

Dear Doughboys, If you had to exclude either BEEF or CHICKEN from every fast food order for the rest of your life, which one would you give up?

Gwildor's Majestyk Melons

Did Mitch do any preparation for his fantasy football draft that we heard live? His picks were pretty atrocious. Sorry Mitch, still love ya buddy.

Shanehck

Howdy fellas! How much do you think is an appropriate price to pay for a slice of "gourmet" pizza? Like, not your basic cheese slice - I'm talkin' buffalo chicken, white pizza, fried eggplant, etc. Keep being awesome! Love, Collin from NY #burgerbrigade4life

Collin

Hi Doughboys, Emma and Yusong! Which fast food mascot would you want to have your back in a tag team wrestling match? You guys are the best! Come out to Des Moines some time.

KaijuCarlos

Hey Doughboys, Yusong and Emma! With the upcoming Super Nintendo World due to open some time next year, I'm excited to hear what Nintendo themed foods will be available for the park visitor's consumption. If you could open your own video game themed food stand or restaurant, what would be some must have menu items? Mine would be a blue cornmeal crusted soft shell crab sandwich. Love to hear your answer and thanks for making Tuesday's and Thursday's a little more fun!

Jason Ciraolo

Hey Nick! We have all heard what Mitch's Quincy buddies think about the podcast, but have any of your childhood friends heard it? You have mentioned a few of the friends you grew up with (e.g. Daven) but do you know if any of them listen? Thanks!

John Click

What city from the all the tours had the best local brewdogs?

Max Mohr

What fictional character would they want to have dinner with and where would they take them?

Zeke Gonzalez

Hey Nick, Mitch, Emma and Yusong, if you were inviting any video game character over to your house for a home-cooked meal, who would it be and what would you cook?

Benjamin

*’weigh’ not way d’oh!

Adam Vales

Hey Doughboys gang! I have a thought about your live shows and how you say it sucks sometimes going to these cool cities and not being able to try something unique to the city because you’re forced to do a chain of some sort and miss out on some local awesomeness. What if the chain restriction is void and thrown out when away from your home and you can just actually enjoy the city that your in properly? Maybe the commish would have to way in. Just a thought cause i hate to see you guys suffer. Hey suffer sounds like susser. He is now commissioner suffer now because thats what he makes us all do. To a united Burger Brigade and Spoon Nation in the future!

Adam Vales

Now that Mitch is in a movie with Chris Pratt are you worried he's going to find out you've slammed him as a fake fat guy???

Will

Hey Doughboys! Listening through your podcast these past few months and it's been a blast! Being a Floridan I don't really have access to a lot of west coast chains discussed on the show, but recently I figured out there is a Del Taco in Orlando, so what does Nick reccomend I order there as a couple "must get" items? Thanks for the laughs fellas.

Ethan Page

Also cant wait to see yall in Houston!

Ramon Jimenez

I know you guys are fans of Spindrift and other similar sparkling water beverages. Despite the impressive number of flavors in existence across brands, are there any flavors (or flavor combinations) that you wish existed?

Kyle Kemege

Hello Doughboys. I don't have access to a lot of the best hot sauces where I am, so I often like to mix and create my own with whatever I have lying around. Have you experimented with mixing in you fast food endeavours, and if so what are some different sauces and ratios that end up working really well? I find that mayonnaise and sri racha can improve anything. Thanks!

HotSalad

Hey guys. I'm relistening to the podcast from the beginning. Big mistake? Maybe. But I was wondering if mitch.pizza still active and if so, does Mitch still receive any messages from it?

Ramon Jimenez

Hi Mitch and Nick, I was wondering if you guys have ever experienced any bizarre local twists on a classic dish. For example, a few years ago I was in Buffalo and ordering pizza with a group of locals. Myself and my travelling companions suggested a Hawaiian pie, and the locals were dumbfounded that we would order such a thing. The pizza arrived and we were horrified to discover that it was covered in maraschino cherries, as is apparently the norm there. Thanks and keep up the “great” work.

levon olsen

What guest experience would you want a redo on? The food may have been bad for the restaurant or they didn't like that genre or you or then was sick that day

Not_a_gov_contractor

What is on your Mount Wing Sauce-more? Rubs are also acceptable. Love the show! --DadHasADD.

CPiz

What is your most memorable first impression at any restaurant on or off-pod?

Christopher Hua

Mitch, how do you clean Wiger’s fuck-gravy out of your luscious beard?

Matt Martin

Would you rather have an elephant-sized puppy, or a puppy-sized elephant?

GettinTailMoney💰

If sent to you would you guys eat chicken wings tossed in the “hot ones” sauces on a double?

Joe turso

If you could choose anyone (alive or dead ... could be Jesus!) - to have on your show, and to review ANY restaurant (whether its still around or not) what pairing would you choose? Also, if you choose this question, please tell my brother Ben that he's a cheesefuck.

Chris Baker

Do you have a favorite pinball table

Earthbound books

You have to give up two for the rest of your life: pizza, burgers, tacos/burritos, dessert. Which do you choose?

Brett Larson

Hey Doughboys, my good friend’s birthday is unfortunately 9/11, and on that fateful day his parents took him to D’Angelo where they were giving away free Drew Bledsoe Bendo dolls. He has never taken it out of the box and has forever associated one of the worst tragedies in American history with a toy he got at a chain restaurant. My question for you is, is there any sort of major world event you remember experiencing, or first hearing about, at a chain?

Zack

What's a food item you wish one of your favorite chains would tackle? Like if In n Out started selling a chicken sandwich. Thanks, LiuCrew 4 lyfe.
