Opening Up The Feedbag!

Comments

Would you consider doing a bracket for McDonald’s items for a Tournament of Chompions? That could scratch the itch for much of the audience that wants a full episode on it!

William Chau Jr.

When you're at line in the grocery store and you see someone with only a few items it's proper etiquette to let them go ahead. Are there any rules of etiquette at fast food establishments that you have strong feelings for?

Chris Wentworth

Everyone except Yusong, what were your favorite movies of the year? Yusong, favorite Twitch moments of the year?

Sam Hudson

Yes.

SP

Have you weighed in on the hot fruit debate? Mike Schur (Parks & Rec and The Good Place creator) is adamantly against any and all hot fruit, including blueberries in pancakes and apples in pies, and seems to have a large amount of followers who ascribe to this belief. Curious to know your takes.

SP

Emma! I went to high school in Exeter, NH and I feel like it has the best food ever - Loaf & Ladle, Green Bean, Romeo’s, Front Row, Szchezuan Taste, etc etc... Is this just me having fond memories of my youth or is it really as good as I remember? (Sorry for the uber specific question —I got excited when you said you were from Exeter on the McDonald’s ep)

Emily

Emma & Mitch - Can you sing the Water Country jingle from memory?

Christopher Callaghan

I've worked in restaurants for my entire life, and no matter where I've worked, the staff always found itself discussing one important philosophical question. If you were in a standard 30 by 30 room with one doorway and no windows, and there was an infinite stream of 1st graders coming to kill you, how long do you last and what is your strategy? There are no weapons, and they are not trained, all they know is they need to attack and kill you. This is clearly hypothetical, and something we would discuss to pass the time, but seriously how long would you guys last?

william carlo

Did Mitch see Into the Spiderverse and if so, what did he think?

Tim

nick - what's your oft-discussed adobo recipe?

Casey Dell Otto

You may have discussed this before, but have you ever had a poor (with food or otherwise) experience at a fast food restaurant and did you stop going to that restaurant? Not a restaurant, but personally I love the hot wings at 7/11, but there are homeless people around the shops which makes me feel guilty about stuffing my face while people are starving.

Samer Esmail

Please help my family decide who is right. My dad and I prefer ice cream cake while my mom and sister prefer sheet cake when we celebrate birthdays. Which is better? Do you have a go-to birthday cake? Thanks!

Adam

Hello boys (& Emma)! I want your take on this deceptively simple question: how many bites are in a snack? At what point does a snack becomes a meal? Thank you for breaking your silence on this controversial topic

Brian C

On a recent visit to Chik-fil-a, I ordered a Spicy Deluxe sandwich and asked to hold the tomato (one of your frequent guests, I believe maybe Jon Gabrus, has opined that tomato detracts from most sandwiches, and I agree). Looking at my receipt, I noticed the line noting my request to hold the tomato also indicates they took 15 cents off the price. This blew me away; I'd never seen that done at any restaurant. Are there any little things like that a restaurant does that stand out in your mind as going above and beyond what you expect? (Also, I think it goes without saying, that 15 cent discount makes up for any other concerns one might have about Chik-fil-a and I'm sure you agree, so you don't even need to say.)

David M

Greetings Doughboys, Yusong, and Emma! I recently attended an out of state wedding and due to a lack of car and inclement weather, I ended up eating at the Chili's adjacent to the hotel for lunch, having drinks there between the ceremony and reception, and ending the day with a nightcap and appetizers there. If you had to eat all your meals in one day at the same chain restaurant, what would it be?

mr_dumb_shit

why aint yall be on yusong minecraft channel

Ben Fox

My friends, our dads, and brothers started a tradition around 15 years ago where all the men (and boys) go to hooters on Christmas Eve to spend a few hours eating wings and drinking brewdogs before the onslaught of Christmas activities. The tradition peaked with a group of nearly 40 but has petered out as the friend group has gone to college, moved away, and spends time with significant others over the holidays. This year my parents moved, so I’m driving an hour to a hooters that’s about in the middle of the core crew. This is a roundabout way of asking two questions 1) do you have any holiday related chain restaurant traditions? 2) other than for the podcast, what is the furthest you’ve traveled specifically to visit another chain restaurant

Mark gallo

Which Doughboys guest has been your favorite to share a meal with?

Chris Carosi

Yusong and Emma: is there a place that you would like to review with connections to your East Coast childhoods? Mitch can engineer and Wiger can fetch stuff from the kitchen. It's a dinner-role reversal

Michael Giron

WHAT IS EVERYONE'S XXXMAS BREAK PLANS????

ETHAAAN B

Which wrestler, past or present, alive or dead, would you most like to have on the show, and which restaurant would you review with them?

Kevin Ford

What is your food-related New Years resolution. Is there some way you want to eat healthier? Is there something new you want to try? A food destination you want to visit? Something else?

CPiz

sounds like the issue is lack of communication, person who liked it needs to use their words

Alina Servetnik

What's on your Mount Cookie-More? Mine would have to be Double-Stuff Oreo (If it's not double-stuff why bother?), Jammie Dodgers (British brilliance!), Stroopwafels (now featured at Trader Joe's), and Fig Newtons (because I'm a grandma at heart). Love the podcast and thank you for the hours of entertainment. I love Mitchy Two-Spoons, but BurgerBrigade for lyfe baby! #yusongdidnothingwrong

Bree

A local New Orleans restaurant, Turkey and the Wolf, sometimes has a "Wendy's spicy chicken salad roti." What are your favorite "dressed up" homages to fast food classics?? Also, what's your favorite food song. Despite being mostly vegetarian, I'm quite fond of Peelander Z's "S.T.E.A.K.".

OldKentuckyShark

Are there any restaurant chains that you have refused or would refuse to review?

Gavin Gibson

Hey doughboys! I recently had a miscommunication with a close friend over lunch plans and wanted some insight! If someone sends a text message regarding plans and you “like” it, does that count as a confirmation ? I thought it did, she said that a “like” is not a confirmation. Please help save our friendship !

Mary Gamble

Hiiiiiiiiiiii-dee-ho, boys (and Yusong and Emma). Us east coasters salivate at the idea of a tour sometime in the near future - if Mitch can somehow get Wiger to leave the state of California. With this idea in mind, Mitch, what would be three must-visit places unique to the east coast? Thanks for everything you guys do.

Graham

Hi guys! In my Massachusetts hometown, we have a nickname for the sub shop chain D'Angelos -- we call it Dangle-O's. Similarly, we call Dunkin Donuts -- Dunkies or sometimes Dunks -- and McDonald's: Mickey D's. Do you know of any similar nicknames for chain restaurants, or did you grow up calling certain restaurants anything other than the name on the building? Thanks for the great podcast, please come to Boston! Maggie

Maggie L

We've all had to get a quick meal from a chain corner store so what would your Mt. Rushmore of 7-11 items be? #NangGang #YusongDid NothingWrong

Josh

If you could try one food item from the Simpsons universe, what would it be?

Houston Barber

Hey, guys! There are a lot of different shapes of Reese's cups out there, such as pumpkins near Halloween and Trees near Christmas. My wife and I prefer the holiday shapes because the ratio of peanut butter to chocolate is different and, in our opinion, superior. Is there a shape you prefer? Do you think they're all the same? Or do you prefer the classic cup? Thanks!

Jake

Which chain restaurant mascot would you most want to do a Frost/Nixon style interview with?

Brian Edwards

Will you eventually do Grocery Store Month? As a proud former Trader Joe’s crew member that would make my heart sing.

Stu Coltrell

Why not salads for Munch Madness? It’d give you guys a break from the rumblies for a month, and I for one would love to know your take on which place has the best healthy lunch option for someone on the go. Sweetgreen? Chipotle? Veggie grill? There could be some fascinating throw downs! I know Mitch suggested it as a joke on the last episode, but he may have unwittingly stumbled onto a brilliant idea...

Benjamin

When was the time you felt most embarrassed in front of a guest?

Hannah Gadsby's Fat Upper Pseudo-penis Area

Hi Mitch, Wiger, Yusong, and Emma. Has anyone ever achieved a Doughboys hat trick by having a drop, a roast spoonman and feed bag question aired? You all are the best. Thanks for all the fun.

Jeff Hawkins

Hey Nick and Mitch! Very serious question: Am I supposed to tip when I call in a food order for pickup?!? Thanks!

Doctor Remulak

Hey Nick and Mitch! Nick, I’ve heard Mitch say you want to “get out of comedy” and your response is usually “yup.” Is this sincere? Are you going to become an investment banker? Do you have post comedy career goals? If so, what? thanks! #StandWithYusong

Doctor Remulak

What do you pay Yusong? And, to Yusong: Do you think it's enough?

Andrew M.

Hey Mitch and Nick! What are your favorite holiday time snacks, entrees, and desserts that make you think of home? Mine are hot chocolate, pozole/tamales, and choco-flan. Thanks! Doughboys is my favorite podcast, gets me through through work, especially now during the holidays at the post office. Also, the Phoenix show was amazing. Come back soon! ❤️

Raquelle Sanchez

Mitch & Wiger - How has your love of sushi changed your opinion on cooked fish? (P.S. Would love another ActionBoyz appearance)

DeadTiredAirplaneFriend

Hey Nitch and Mick, which country would you go to for primarily trying the cuisine? I've never been to the US so I would want to try some low and slow BBQ from the southern states. PS - If you ever find yourselves on the remote island of Guam, I'm your go to dude for the local cuisine which is a strange (but delicious) amalgamation of American, Asian, Spanish, and Hawaiian style foods. Happy Christmas!

Marvin Dompor

Hey guys, this is a question for everyone. Do you guys have a food where you get some memory association, either it conjures up memory of home, or if it reminds you of a particular event in your past? For example, simply having a freshly grilled hot dog and a bottle of cold beer always reminds me of my grad. school years in Australia since they held an Engineering barbecue almost every lunchtime (yes, day drinking can happen...) Thanks all and keep up the great work! PS. Green Tea Ice Cream is very subtle and is quite a popular treat in SE Asia... Yusong did nothing wrong!!!

Jerry Li

P. S. I am very open minded, not a contrarian and I pretty much love everything so I was very surprised. Should I go back, Nick? Maybe it was on off day.

Squit

I recently went to Apple Pan for a burger and not only was I not impressed I actually disliked the burger (and I'm a huge burger brigade baby boy!). Have you ever been disappointed by a food item that you had heard nothing but great things about?

Squit

One of the items on my death row menu is a sweet, spicy, and herbaceous shrimp toast made by Naomi Pomeroy, a local celebrity chef here in Portland, Oregon. What celebrity chef restaurants, chain or otherwise, have you patronized, and which ones lived up to the hype?

Charlise Powvalla

what was your favorite saturday morning breakfast growing up?

Christina Murphy

Col. Sanders has been played by a number of different folks in the last few years. Although that’s a thing planned from the outset, what are your personal best and worst character - actor changes from movies and TV.

Jonathan Smale

What’s your favorite memory of lunchtime at school?

andrew

Mitch, why did you poop in your hand?

Ryan

We’ve heard all about your fry preference between chains and types but the real question is ... do you like squishy fries or crunchy fries? Like I Looooove the long, squishy McDonald fry that you usually get

Michelle Kiang

Snack or whack idea: sour patch kids from the freezer. Extra points if you can find the 2X sour patch kids, they are way better frozen.

The Hunger.

So many variables.

The Hunger.

What would it take for a national Doughboys tour where you could try some of the smaller regional chains? El Meson, Bojangles, Raising Cane's, Cotton Patch, Friendly's . . .

Joe Weinmunson

Hey guys, you talk a lot about movies, but outside of sports or classic Simpsons you don't discuss television much. What current shows do you like? Any food tv you enjoy? Thanks for the great podcast and please come to Chicago for a show!

James Hanna

I dislike shoestring fries because I feel like they get cold much quicker and that I have to eat them with a fork. So I usually try to avoid them as much as possible.

The Hunger.

Yusong, please list the 20 movies you have seen. I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely curious!

SCOOP

Though I love the regular programming, I also enjoy when you talk movies; you both bring different but equally valid points of view to the same film. Can you talk abut your top 3 movies of the year? Mine are Hereditary, Annihilation, and Mandy -- if you have thoughts about those would love to hear that as well

David Conison

Can you guys talk about the early days of the podcast? Like, how you two found each other and decided that this was an idea worth pursuing. Also, please consider doing a live show in Massachusetts!

Barlimon

When are you going to have a curry showdown?

Robert Kalal

Hey guys! You both have mentioned before that you sometimes view food as your primary vices in life. What have been some of your low-points related to food or eating?

Sam Wiehe

Mitch, do you have any other fond food memories you experienced with Harris that you haven’t yet shared? It seems like two were really on the same page when it came to eating/snacking.

Daniel Bojko

With Star Wars Land opening next year at Disneyland, are there any themed foods or sweet treats you guys would like to be there? Blue milk perhaps? Unkar plutt bread?

emily

If you were given the task to create a weapon for MarioKart, what would it be?

Andrew Haslach

Mitch and Yusong, I've been mentioning to my lovely wife for 10 years that we should take a weekend trip to Ithaca and it might actually happen. I also haven't been there in over ten years - what do we do there aside from the waterfalls? Where's the good food?

Eli Green

Yes this was my exact question! Often chains have a "light and fit" type section of their menu or a list of stuff under XXX calories. I'd be interested in chain re-visits of just these menus, something along the lines of the movie tie-in menus.

Geena Brown

Tournament of Chompions 2019: DRIVE THROUGH. Tape live in the car and time the fast food spots from order to delivery. Great idea?

Ryan

Hi Guys, I’m 27 and recently I’ve been feeling very lethargic and having joint pain ALL THE TIME. I can’t tell if there’s something wrong with me or, if I’m just old now. When did you guys start feeling like shit? Love the show!

Carol Port

WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO VEGAS!?

Ryan

Who is your favorite food related video game character?

Ian Larson

What character do use in Super Smash for N64 and switch? Im a donkey kong man

Sam F Seagroves

When reviewing fast food places, you guys tend to focus on their lunch and dinner menus without thinking too much of their breakfast menus. So what do you guys think about fast food chains' breakfast, in general? (Feel free to use this for the Tournament of Chompions, it would be great)

Alison Sheppard

What percentage do you tip for good service and what do you think about restaurants that don’t allow tipping because they pay their servers well?

Andy wiesinger

What meal would make the best smoothie if dumped into a blender? Also Emma and Mitch, please convince Wiger to do a MA show!

Daniel Ramsey

I live in Idaho and we have two regional food items that I'm curious if any of you have tried. One is "fry sauce" (a condiment made from ketchup and mayo) and the other are "finger steaks" which are strips of beef, breaded and fried, and served with cocktail sauce for dipping. #yusongdidnothingwrong

Dustin

How would you rank the chicken fingers among major chains? And do you think chicken fingers are primarily a kid's food? Is it embarrassing for an adult to order them as an entree?

aurorafloyd

Often times when I go to McDonald’s and it’s not busy I ask for freshly made fries because: A. Usually when it’s not busy the fry turnover is less frequent thus the fries have been sitting under the lamp for awhile and taste terrible and: B. I feel like it’s not an inconvenience because they’re not busy! However my roommate constantly gives me shit for it! Am I in the wrong for wanting the best quality McDonald’s fries for my dollar?? Do either of you guys do anything like this??

Moses Goldfarb

I recently had a bad experience at an old favorite chain I hadn’t been to in a while, and it made me question whether or not I would go back again. How bad of an experience, or how many consecutive bad experiences would it take for you to swear off some of your favorite chains?

Cody Etheredge

How many drinks has Wiger had today?

Douglas “Scoop” Reinhardt

Can you guys comment on comfort food? I don’t think I even understand the concept. When I eat, I’m trying to not starve. I’m not concerned about feeling comforted. In that regard, I am like animal. Seriously though what are comfort foods and what makes them make people feel comforted?

Bryce M

As someone who enjoys the reviews as much as the general banter, I think it would be great to hear

Max Hardenbrook

Mitch, I was there at the San Diego show, and I saw what happened. You caved under pressure, yet again. Rubio’s is no four-forker - you know it and I know it. Would you like to take the opportunity now to retract your 4 fork rating for Rubio’s, just like you did with Japadog? P.S. I’m a Vancouver resident. I ate at Rubio’s while I was visiting San Diego, and in my opinion, Japadog is way better than Rubio’s. Japadog: 4 forks. Rubio’s: 3 forks.

James Leddy

I think about this, too. Like they should do a month of Doubles where they sample the recommended heart healthy (or w/e) option from chains.

Snappingturo

You have committed an unspeakable crime and your punishment is to do ten years of solitary confinement in a laboratory ran by food scientists. They are going to study the effects that arise from ingesting one brand and one brand only, in unlimited amounts, for ten years. By brand, I’m not talking Unilever or Yum!; I’m saying Ritz, DiGiorno, etc. Which brand do you choose? You will be provided unlimited water, so you don’t need to choose something that has a beverage.

Snappingturo

What was your video game of the year?

Tom Devine

If they were fully realized themeparks would you rather go to Flavor Town or Margaritaville?

Yoann Debonnaire

What would you do if you left comedy?

Steve C-B

Do you ever get a small fry when you go through the drive though as your “driving fries” so you don’t eat all of your fries before you get home? PS vanilla is a flavor #VanillaClub

Doctor Remulak

What guest would you most like to get for the program (Living or dead) to review which chain? (In-operation or defunct)

SenorScience

Our Family has the Christmas Tradition of each of the 4 kids gets to pick one thing that they want Mom to make for Christmas Dinner. (Don't have to be Compatible) The 4 of you each pick one thing for your ideal Christmas Dinner to share. ps, Any weird Xmas Food Traditions?

Brendan

For the rest of your life, every time you go to a restaurant you can only get one, which do you choose: apps or dessert

Doctor Remulak

If the Donkey Kong characters were fast food items, which fast food items would they be?

DartSpieg

Mitch. We just were in NYC and had pizza, ramen, bagels, sea food, street meet, and more pizza. The entire time my wife was missing our cats ( one is a 3 legged tuxedo cat named chip). What food do you eat on trips to drown out sorrows for missing the cats.

Not_a_gov_contractor

If you could build your own fast food item using ingredients from different chains, what would you build? Spicy chicken from Wendy’s animal style? #DIYFastfood #Spoonbrigade

Reegs

Describe each others dream afternoon

AnnyongNewman

Buying a switch soon: what 3 games should i buy?

Sam F Seagroves

Our Family has the Christmas Tradition of each of the 4 kids gets to pick one thing that they want Mom to make for Christmas Dinner, and the 4 things don't have to make sense together. The 4 of you each pick one thing for your ideal Christmas Dinner that you'd bring to share with the other 3.

Brendan

Often Mitch and Nick have talked about how bad the food is for them. And no doubt it's been detrimental to Mitchs efforts to lose weight to be doing a fast food podcast. That in mind have you guys considered getting the "healthy" options more often when reviewing a place? It's certainly something many chains push as a portion of their menu and seem like something that might be worth including in reviews more and might help reduce the toll doing the show takes on your bodies. Also, my girlfriend (who grew up in Southbridge, MA) wanted me to pass on that she thi ms Mitch's opinions on how amazing the new England area is are 100% accurate.

Max Hardenbrook

My parents slurp their noodles and soup when they eat. What embarrassing food habits do your friends and family have that make you cringe?

Barry Lam

If you had to eliminate one food group/thing forever for the OTHER host, what would you choose to make them most miserable? Least miserable?

Matt Grondin

If a fast food item could become sentient and you could marry it, what would it be?

Zeke Gonzalez

Which one of you is the better cook? Also, who would win in a fight? Mitch has size, but Wiger has the steely-eyed demeanor of a shark. Yusong is the wild card in this scenario.

Rocky Choad

Mitch, why aren’t you ever with The Handbook Boys when Weiger is? I want to hear them barrage you with insults too. I already know that Weiger is the corniest man alive.

Jesse Stell

For the whole doughboys crew: if you had to self identify as one simpsons character who would it be and why?

Anthony razo

What is the biggest misconception that people may have about doing a food podcast? Thanks for the laughs!

Aaron Blankenship

When will you quit being a bunch of cowards and stop ducking Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers?

Billy Slane

Jalapeño poppers filled with cheddar cheese or cream cheese?

Spencer LaBute

I'm here because of Harris. (RIP) If he was on ep where would you go? McDonalds, Chilis? What would be snack or whack? Microwaved cheese?

Sam F Seagroves

My firends and I went to brunch and the food took almost an hour and a half to come out. We debated about leaving but never pulled the trigger. What's the longest you've ever waited for food, and have you ever left a etablishment for a long wait or bad service prior to getting served?

Brock Basta

I ate some Wetzel's pretzels with dipping sauce this morning. It was delicious. I have no question #yusongdidnothingwrong

Dan McNulty

What was the saddest meal you’ve ever had? What was the happiest?

Spencer LaBute

What are y’alls favorite movies of the year?

Laura Riordan

Weiger, could you please read the product description of Water from the official Taco Bell website? <a href="https://www.tacobell.com/food/drinks/cup-of-water" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.tacobell.com/food/drinks/cup-of-water</a>
