Will you ever come to Montreal?

Anthony Sgro

Please breakdown subway’s latest ad- is this the journey of Jared? This is simply disturbing. https://www.eater.com/2019/6/27/18761683/this-2016-artsy-short-film-is-a-subway-ad-in-disguise

Angel O Wong

Sexiest food mascot?

Funk Master T-rag

If you had to choose to only have hot sauce or salad dressing, which would you choose?

Simone

I live in the PNW now and they’re always trying to tell me an Italian sub has things like ham (?), turkey (???) and pepperoni (no!!!) on it with mayo (why!!!!!!!!) and mustard (AHHHHH) okay thanks and also the water country song got stuck in my head after this ep

Michelle Kiang

on the josh gondelman do, Emma says that she’s an Italian sub girl through and through and I totally agree. My question is: what is on the ideal Italian sandwich? I grew up in the Chicagoland area so my perfect Italian has salami, capicola, mortadella, provolone, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, giardinera and oil & vinegar. I Li

Michelle Kiang

What food statue would you display in your respective homes? I would do a ramen bowl, like in Ponyo. Love you guys! ^__^ ❤️

Raquelle Sanchez

If the guys had to go vegan/vegetarian (if vegan is too hard) what would there ideal breakfast/lunch/dinners be?

MrGreatPerfekt

HYPOHETICALLY if you were in a one v one Saw victim situation and you had to eat the other person but were given the choice of which fast food restaurant prepared them, where would you pick? And into what? Asking for a friend.

Kevin Ela

Did you ride the choo choos in Chicago? What did you think of the experience? I love riding the train when I'm in town. Thanks, it was nice meeting you fucks in Chicago!

Eric Dockter

Can we get a BugCon recap?

Phil Torres

nice

Brandon Vo

If you could combine two different fast food items from two different chains into one single item, what would be your fast frankenfood combination? Examples: A Wendys Spicy Chicken Cheesy Gordita Crunch? An Animal Style Big Mac? The possibilities are endless.

Brian Cotton

How do you vet which establishments you will visit when visiting a city for the podcast? I ask for the Philadelphia episode, however, I'm fairly confident which you will visit already.

Dylan Pennell

What is the funniest food?

John Sokolis Jr.

Been having this discussion/argument for a while with my friends - A version of the Desert Island discs question. Maybe, call it Starch Island - Between, pasta/potatoes/rice, if you could only have one of these for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Tucker Greer

What are some weird/disgusting food habits you have or had as a kid. For me, I used to love to put ketchup on my mashed potatoes and then stir it until it became an awful pink mush.

Collin Joyce

What meal would you pair with your favorite video game?

Matt Tamny

What chain restaurant staple would you like to try to replicate at home with a copycat recipe, or feel confident that you could make?

Elizabeth Gough-Gordon

What’s your Mount Cereal-Mascot-More?

Dean O’Carroll

What is your favorite novelty ice cream treat from the grocery store?

Tim

What are the best seats you've ever had a sporting event and what would you be willing to do to get a better view? When I was in HS I worked for the catering company that had the contract for the Denver Broncos so I got to work in the skyboxes during home games. Not the best view but I did get paid to be there. If Nick (Grill) Wiger does move to Denver I'd take him to a couple Nuggets games so he could sit 4 rows behind the visitor bench.

david kahn

Is Wiger actually moving to Denver? And if so, is it to blaze up?

Simon Johnston

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

Do you guys want children? Not with each other... with other people (Natalie and the woman Mitch marries).

Anna Rienstra

If you could be any Mega Man character, who would you be? Personally, I think Wiger would be Heat Man for obvious reasons, and Mitch would be Wood Man for aesthetic reasons. Additionally, Evan Suser is a real life Dr. Wiley. Thanks for the hours of entertainment and please consider doing a live show in Denver.

Tom DeFreytas

Any time I got to a restaurant, if I see French Onion Soup on the menu, chances are I'm going to order it. I love it and want to try any preparation of it. What food item would you get, any time you see it on a menu?

Brian Edwards

If you are having a bad meal at a restaurant, how openly do you discuss it while you're there?

Brian Sweeney

Hey dough-dudes, I once visited my friend at his university during parent's weekend. His family is a couple rungs higher on the social strata-ladda than mine, and took me to my first high-end steakhouse, which happened to be Vince Lombardi's restaurant. I was off red meat at the time so I ordered a chicken dish, but as the waiter went around and took orders I was thrown off by everyone's steak doneness requests. My anxiety grew as it came closer to my turn, and I ordered my chicken "medium" (not wanting it burnt or undercooked...sound logic), which got a good laugh from the server and my friend's uppity family. Fuck rich assholes, but also what is your most embarrassing food memory?

Bad Liver Piss

Hey gang! What is your worst on stage accident? Worst spill? Ever fall off the stage?

Dr. Murderfish

As an elementary music teacher, it warms my heart whenever Yusong talks about music, especially accompanying children’s groups. Can you all talk about your musical upbringing, and musical activities you still do today? I know Wiger was an avid woodwinder.

Daniel Hershman-Rossi

If Mitch's mom asked him to marry her, how long would he hesitate before saying yes?

LS

Yusong, I know you read these... I was at the line for the NADDPOD show and saw you and Emma eating outside before the show... I was too nervous to say hi and didn't want to interrupt your dinner, but Emma saw me creeping and I waved to her. I thought about what you would do (wwyd) so I am making this post to say hi ❤️

Joshua Steiner

There is big overlap of Phish phans and Doughboys fans.. what do u guys eat at concerts?

Sam F Seagroves

Hey Doughboys!, So you all talk a lot about your Nintendo years, but did either of you (or Yusong or Emma) have a PS2? Love the pod, Burger Brigade for life.

Michael Cummins

Oh hi boys! I know you're hardly struggling for content but have you ever considered an International Doughboys ep? If so which city would you choose? You could try the country's interpretation of an American chain (so the doughboys demo still gets the usual content) plus a local chain so you can get a little bit crazy. My suggestion is Mexico City, you could try Mickey Ds (specially breakfast since it features some crazy options like egg McMuffin spread with beans and breakfast burrito with Mexicana eggs and green chile) and for the chains El Porton or Casa de Toño, which are the Mexican equivalent of Dennys or IHOP. Anyway thanks for the awesome content, and Emma and Yusong for the hard work 💕✌️

Hector Mendoza

If you were trapped in a fast food restaurant and your only way to escape was to eat every single one of that particular chains food items which restaurant would it be? And what one other person would you bring with you to help? #spoonnation can’t wait to see you guys in NYC!

Chelsea

Have you had any awkward real life encounters with overenthusiastic Doughboys fans?

Tobias

Would you lick my butt for a dollar?

Daniel

Why hasn’t Bug Mane been on?

Ryan

Will you do a Last Jedi commentary?

Christopher Purnell

If you had to work for a fast food restaurant for the rest of your life, what restaurant and position would you choose? (In store jobs only)

Sean

If you could travel back in time and experience a food or drink from any point in history what would it be? For example Coca Cola before the cocaine was removed in 1903 or Dodo tenders.

Moira's Machine

Wiger, you mentioned on twitter that you were considering playing Tales of Vesperia, did you ever give it a try? What did you think? What other JRPGs have you played recently?

Chris Rowland

which chain has the best social media? denny’s and wendy’s both come to mind for their awkward attempts at offbeat internet jokes. do the official doughboys accounts have brand interaction often? thanks yusong and emma! you do great work!

Will Conover

Hi Doughboys gang! Can you recall an extremely glutinous moment in your life where you just went overboard? For example, one time while extremely high I consumed an entire 12 count box of ice cream sandwiches in about an hour. I feel like I’d should add that I am usually a very sensible eater and this is definitely out of the norm for me. Love the pod! Keep up the great work!

Crystal Varga

Classical question. If you could host a dinner party which three quests would you invite and why?

Paul margerie

If you were a hot dog, would you eat yourself?

Chris Reid

Hey Doughboys, did either of your families have any food habits that you later found out were weird? My family used to put thousand island dressing on tacos, ketchup on Mac and cheese, and slices of American cheese in ramen noodles. Al of which my wife has told me is strange. Thanks!

Chris

What’s the Lakers-Celtics of the fast food world?

DartSpieg

Which chain do you think would do the best job at making a competitors food, or which dishes would you like to see some by a different chain.

Thom van Tijn

If you could change one thing about an existing food that would make it perfect in your eyes what would you improve? for example: popcorn where all the kernels pop or an avocado with no pit.

Magd B.

High and mighty power hour question. Considering the fact that you boys drank 15 beers and then recorded ANOTHER podcast, what did you do for drunk munchies in Chicago?

Brian Glowienke

Hey Doughboys gang! When are yall coming to Houston? Hope its soon. How about yall come next year during the rodeo. When they have tons of bbq cookoffs, a bunch of fried rodeo food, concerts, and the livestock show. Maybe even do a live show here too? Love the podcast, keep it up guys!

Ramon Jimenez

Nick, what food and/or treats would you take on a choo-choo? Short, long distances, etc.

David Wong

I work as a bbq chef. What are your favorite bbq sauces? Tomato/molasses based, mustard, vinegar, what do you like best?

CK61

The greatest chips I’ve ever had were a limited-time variant from Archer’s Farms, Target’s in-house brand. In the summer of 2010, they had a “Greek inspired” flavor that, unlike other Mediterranean variants of potato chip flavors, eschewed tahini cucumber flavor for a strong feta cheese and olive oil taste, a flavor profile I’ve never seen anyone even come close to attempting since. I still long for these chips, but they’ve forever been lost to time. What’s the snack that got away for you?

Mitch Thompson

Do you have any favourite ultra healthy meals or snacks you go to when you feel you’ve overindulged due to the pod or otherwise? I try to have a smoothie loaded with good stuff everyday and it keeps the train on time if you know what I mean. Thanks for all the laughs to the whole doughboys family

Gavin

Hey guys! I love listening to Doughboys while working in my garden. I grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers, and a lot of my flowers happen to be edible - violets, carnations, roses, etc. are all edible if you choose the right species. My question is, do you like flowers in food and drinks? I remember Nick mentioned a banana blossom dish once. Have you had other experiences consuming flowers as food, or flower-infused cocktails or other beverages? As for me, I had a kind of rose tea once and it was absolutely cloying, but a friend recently baked lavender shortbread and the lavender buds really made it delicious. It didn't have the perfume aftertaste that has always made me avoid flowery foods. I wonder how you guys feel: Blossoms are awesome? Buds are duds? Thanks!

Sandi

When I was a kid, my Mom would get frustrated that I preferred Kraft Mac and Cheese and Stouffer's Lasagna to her home cooking. Is there any processed food that you know is inferior to the real thing but you still like better?

Mike Ewing

Me and my fiancee love eating graham crackers, which are tasty and no less healthy than many popular snacks, yet for some reason they are often unfairly dismissed as "children's food." Are there any foods you like to eat which you think are unfairly categorized as "children's food"?

Jaime Berman

Q2: I got hit by a car while riding my Vespa in my Doughboys T-Shirt. I got hurt, but didn't die. Which is nice. So is my Doughboys shirt good luck or bad luck?

Tyler Orton

Summer is ice-cream-truck season. What is your favorite ice-cream-truck treat, or what was it when you were growing up? -DadHasADD.

CPiz

Through my school days, the local Burger King gave out free food for good grades. It was a point system where if you got straight A's you would get a full meal. This was a real motivator for me in my youth. Did you guys have any food based rewards for good grades?

Tyler Orton

When will you guys invite the illustrious Desus & Mero to guest on your podcast? It would be worth it just to hear them talk mad shit about the Lakers and Celtics (note: I’m a New Englander but I love some good trash talk). They’re coming to LA this summer, JUSSAYIN’!

Chris Borden

If they were to make a doughboys video game what would the gameplay be like? What would the storyline be?

Drew VanRanden

Hey all, what are your hopes for the recently announced sequel to breath of the wild? Can we get a report from Emma and Yusong about their BOTW progress?

Stephen McKinney

In my hometown of Tucson, AZ there is a beloved local chain called Eegee’s; there’s something like 25 of them in Tucson (which isn’t exactly a huge city) and precisely 0 anywhere else. Do you have any particular favorite hyper-local chains like that? Poquito Más for LA or, say, Honeydew Donuts for Massachusetts come to mind (my wife is from Foxboro), but I was wondering if you have any maybe even more esoteric choices?

evanworse

My son recently turned 6 months old and we got to give him his first meal! We agonized over what to serve him - it seemed like such a big responsibility to pick the very first foods he would eat. What would you serve to someone as their very first meal?

Jenni Dreyer

Who's your ultimate celebrity guest for the podcast? I would love to see you guys have Conan O’Brien on.

Andrew Smith

What podcast would you guys want to do a crossover with? Would you do a crossover with James Bonding about the food that 007 has eaten over the years? An episode with The Greatest Generation about Star Trek food and drink? (By the way, if you aren’t aware, those guys talk about Doughboys on the pod all the time.) Maybe you could talk to the My Favorite Murder gals about famous killings where a restaurant is involved.

Andrew Smith

What has been your worst experience the rumblies? What do you think caused them?

Devlin

This one is more for Yusong and Wiger. Having recently picked up Slay the Spire myself, what is your favorite character to play as and what is your favorite style of deck to build towards? If you're too new to Slay the Spire to have a good thought, how about Hearthstone?

Ryan Bissonnette

What were your feelings about the Wendy’s Superbar?

Joe Wilson

What is the biggest difference between your podcast selves and your actual, real-life selves? Do either of you ever find yourselves questioning your identity because you have become well-known to strangers for (presumably) the podcast version of yourself?

David Garcia

Would you rather sneeze poop or sweat mayo?

Spencer LaBute

With so many restaurants doing upscale takes on fast food items, which fast food menu or dish would you most like to see given the high-brow treatment?

Kim Belair

Hey guys, thanks for all the fun times. This question is for Wiger/Spoon/Emma and Yusong; when you're dealing with the GOAT fast food sandwich the Big Mac, lettuce ratio is super important. What is WORSE: too much lettuce, or too little lettuce? Thanks guys!

Donnie V

Hi Doughboys, would you ever consider doing a mukbang video? Thanks!

Doctor Remulak

If Mitch joins the Celtics and Wiger joins the Lakers who wins in a seven game series?

Andrew Caudill

Why does cheesecake have the word cake in the name when it is clearly a pie

Colby Martin

Hey spoon and burgs have any of the team been to or tried any Scottish snacks? We have some of the sweetest snack known to mankind ever it’s ‘Scottish tablet’. Would love to send you some and some of our famous soft drink Irn Bru(iron brew). Thanks Fraser

Fraser craig

Hi Dough kings, what’s happened to the Rachel Ray bag? I feel like it had a strong run for a couple months and now I haven’t heard anything about it. Thanks!

Doctor Remulak

Hi, Doughboys Gang, Mitch and Emma: Who would win in a six-person battle royale in which the combatants represent each New England state? I'd have to go with my beloved home state of Maine, of course. We're hearty fishermen and lumberjacks. I admit this is blatant pandering for more New England-centric content, but since 98% of most podcasts are about LA and its institutions, it seems only fair. Nick and Yusong, I love you, too. Love this podcast. You guys are all wonderful. Thanks!

Benjamin Morin

I was a swimmer (#burgerbrigade) and I dreamed of having a sponsored Speedo. Nick and Mitch, what fast food ( or non fast food) brand would you sport

Not_a_gov_contractor

Fuck Marry Kill: Snap, Crackle and Pop

Alexander Utz

Hi Doughboys! Settle a debate between my husband and I. Whenever we eat a meal, he will eat the thing he likes the most first because he doesn’t want to risk getting too full to enjoy it. I like to get the boring foods out of the way first and save my favorite food for last to end on a high note. Which approach do you agree with?

Amber Maslanka

What do you like to cook

Bill M

Hey Doughboys, I'm currently pregnant with my first child - a boy due on October 5th which I know is the day before Mitch's birthday. I am hoping you can help me with an experiment. They say babies can hear voices while they are still in the womb and can recognize those they hear the most - well I listen to your show enough that I think he will be able to recognize yours. Can you please say something to him that I can play after he is born to test this theory and see if he responds? Thanks! Laura

Laura Lentchitsky

Hey Doughboys! You’ve now done a bunch of live episodes in cities across North America and have probably traveled elsewhere and sampled many regional chains. My question is, if you could pick one of those chains to open a location in Los Angeles, which one would you pick? Doesn’t have to be the best or your favorite. Consider also what would fill a need in the area. Thanks to you both, and Emma and Yusong, for getting me through the day.

Eric Matsuda

Hello all! Here’s the situation: you’re trapped on a deserted island, and can only take one video game, one movie, and one full meal with you, what do you choose? ❤️ from Portland

Grease Sommelier

What fast food CEO would you most like to meet in person, why, and what would ask/say to them?

Andrew Swindle

If Doughboys were to suddenly become a 3 man booth and you had to hire a 3rd co-host? Who would it be? Susser? Gabrus? Jerry the King Lawler?

Danny Colemire

What’s your favourite fast food mascot? The McDonald burger crew, the noid, Wendy herself, the Taco Bell chihuahua?

Matthew Stewart

Hey Doughboys, I was listening to the episode where Mitch said a pizza tasted like puke. There’s a great pizza place here in Baltimore called Barfly’s that a friend used to call Barf-lee’s. Now that’s the only way I can pronounce it despite it definitely not tasking like puke. It got me thinking, what’s your favorite restaurant nickname or mispronunciation? Examples I can think of are Mickey D’s for McDonald’s as a nickname and, for some reason, Chi-Pol-Tee for Chipotle as a mispronunciation. Can’t wait to see you in DC, Ryan

Rombus

On the semi-recent Portland episode, Wiger mentioned a local chef trashed Sizzle Pie after they noticed him doing research during the flight up. Who was it? It’ll just be between us...safely behind the paywall 🤫

MC

Hi Doughboys, If you somehow had the international appeal to book any guest of your dreams, who would you want to have on an episode? Optional continuation: what restaurant would you want to review with them? Thanks, -Ryan

Ryan Klumpers

Top 5 switch games?

trevor passage

Are you guys familiar with the recent growing trend of Mukbangs on YouTube where people eat massive amounts of (almost always unhealthy) food on camera? If so, what do you think of it? Is it weird to make/watch those videos?

A_H

You'll soon be coming to the UK, and as soon as I heard that I had a million suggestions for places for you guys to visit in your short time here. My question is - if we were to spend two days in your home states, what would be your "perfect itinerary" for visiting as much "must eat" places in such a limited time? Thank you! Huge fan of the show

Iolo Roberts

I have a friend who dumps tons of olive oil on top of his pizza before he eats it. It’s gross, even though olive oil is great. I have a relative who will openly talk about diarrhea/GI issues at the dinner table. I lose my appetite every time. Do you know anyone with gross food habits and/or have you ever lost your appetite in the middle of a meal due to someone else’s grossness?

Andy

As you’re well aware, snacks can often be discontinued at a moments notice, only to be given new life years down the road (for example, Ecto Cooler Hi-C, and Planters Cheez Balls to name a few). Has there ever been a snack from your past that’s been given a second chance? If so, how did it live up to your memories? Was it as good as you remembered? Should it have been left in the past?

Adam Shoultes

Could Mitch write the intro and get the show started? And wiger do the howdy ho?

Chris Reid

Emma, what is your favorite way to get stoned? Edibles, concentrate, or flower?

Taylor Abston

Yusong: when I followed your twitch channel, my internet was fucked up and I couldn’t hear ANY of the song you sang for me. Could I hear what that sounded like? A cappella is fine. On your cue, when you’re ready.

Noel Gray

Doughboys, what’s your MOUNT CEREAL-MORE? Thanks!from your buddy in Chicago, Quentin.

QUENTIN HIRSLEY

Is Brad Stevens coaching for his job?

Kyle O'Connor

What is the unlikeliest location you have encountered and eaten at a fast food restaurant / chain?

Sam Wotherspoon

Thinking back to the days of arcade games in restaurants, my bro and I would shake our parents down for a quarter while we waited for food. Did you get to play? Any key memories of certain games?

Robert Peterson

Hi everyone! If you could be one Taco Bell item, which would you be?

Karlie Menzel

Dear Burger Boy, Spoon, Emma, Yusong, Wolly, and Irma, I recently spent over an hour in the drive thru of a taco bell waiting for my food. Many people were angry and honked their horn. One guy even got out and walked up to the window while his gf looked mortified in the car. Luckily, I had the Doughboys pod to keep me company and couldn't help but think it was a fitting situation. When I finally got my food, it was worth the wait. My question is, what's the longest you have ever waited for food at a restaurant? Was the wait expected or unexpected? Was it worth it? Thanks so much for keeping the pod going despite it literally destroying your health.

Dillon Hooten

What’s your favorite vacation meal?

Dominic Lucarelli

Hey doughboys! How often do you run into fans while getting food for the podcast? Do any stories that stand out, positive or otherwise? Thanks for all the laughs, and shout out to Emma and Yusong! -Aaron Ensing

Aaron Ensing

I enjoy throwing back a brew dog or 10 on occasion, so I often find myself looking for ways to cure a hangover. Do you guys have any go-to foods to cure a hangover? Are there any foods you won't go near while hungover?

Michael Salot

Hey Doughboys - My wife calls a cheesesteak a "steak and cheese." She says it's a west coast thing, but that sounds like BS. She's wrong, right? Love the show.

Michael Kreps

When are you bringing JASON SHERIDAN to guest an episode? And will Bugmane be in the top 100 song "Lettuce Wrap"?

Jeffrey Loh

If you got a podcast to book deal (like welcome to nightvale, my favorite murder) how would you fill 300 pages?

Timo Supremo

I’m a real big fan of tiki bars and I know Mitch is big fan of Mai Tais. My question for everyone is how do you feel about tiki and do you have a favorite tiki bar and/or drink? Burger Brigade forever.

Brandon Ribeiro

Doughboys, you've developed plenty of dough-tastic ongoing bits over the years, especially ones you use to insult each other. For each of you: what is your single favorite bit to continue to riff on and try and twist new jokes out of? (And anything about Yusong, Susser, etc., of course, is fair game too!)

Chris Baker

Hi Doughboys and YuSong and Emma, Since you've guys done 100s of episodes, who has been the guest who has given you guys the most fun experience during the meal and during the record? For me listening, it's got to be D'Arcy Carden's Benihana episode. I felt the love and the laughs thru my speakers.

Joshua Chong

If each of you could create a signature item at a restaurant - which restaurant would it be, what would the item be called, and what would it include?

Alex mccormack

Hey Doughboys-

Michael Kreps

We’ve all been in this situation where your soda goes flat before you finish drinking it. What is the best soda to drink flat? Or more accurately; what is the least terrible tasting soda to drink flat?

Emilio

Do you guys watch any food shows on TV? Who is your favorite celebrity chef or TV personality?

Jessica Geisler

When we visited Florida a few months ago my fiancee and I went to a restaurant in Disney Springs called Deluxe Burger. They had all sorts of fun dipping sauces there like curry ketchup and a mustard sauce that was a mixture of all the different mustards. My question is: if you had to create a new condiment either from scratch or using existant condiments, what would you make?

Kilgore

Hey Doughboys, has any of the servers or food attendants you have named ever contacted you after hearing about themselves on the pod either directly or indirectly? I know it’s a large world but you never know.

John

When will Matt kowalick return???

Alex Staniloff

I’m a huge music fan, and like Mitch one of my favorite bands is Pink Floyd. I have a music question for each of the boys. Mitch: What’s your favorite Pink Floyd song? Mine is Wish You Were Here. Nick: What’s your favorite part of the old computer dialup sound? I don’t have a favorite part, cause I’m not a fucking robot. SpoonNation Forever, Burger Brigade is fine.
