I love love love grilling romaine hearts and had a whole healthy mix of oil pepper salt and lemon I would put on it. I say "had" because I no longer rent a house where I can go grill style but one day I will again and the first thing on there will be grilled romaine hearts. I guess this makes me pro hot salad?! I'll take it!

I’d love to hear what the boys think of that scene in TLJ where it looks like a ship landing, but it’s actually an iron.

Hey Mitch, wieger, and Yusong. One day, someone from the year 1585 shows up in our time and country. You are put in charge of introducing them to fast food. What restaurant do you take them to and what item do you recommend? Love the show, keep up the good work, thank you!

Miles Klos

Hi Doughboys (and Yusong)! I will be traveling to Ithaca to interview for the food science PhD program at Cornell. My dream is to create disgusting and/or delicious food products like the ones you guys eat on this show. What food places should I check out in Ithaca? Are there any local delicacies I should know about? On a slightly related note, did you guys have any food hacks or invent any strange food combinations in your college dining hall?

Terrence Dent

2018-02-03 00:59:22 +0000 UTC

I believe you meant beloved HOT salad sir

Zach Millar

2018-02-02 21:47:36 +0000 UTC

How is it possible for you guys to continuously give Taco Bell 5 stars? It literally gives me a rumbly tummy every time I go, and that's before I even eat the food. Gross.

Hello D'Boys Now that the film is confirmed, I'd like to know your live-action Mario Bros casting. I'm having trouble because I genuinely think Gabrus should play Mario, but I'm not clear on who gets to be Luigi. Mitch is definitely Wario in this scenario by the way. Also I haven't forgiven you for liking Galaxy chocolate which is demonstrably the worst chocolate available in the UK. Just dreadful. You lie! etc... Love you John

Hey, 'Boys, if you ever found yourselves trapped inside a Friday the 13th movie, do you think you'll survive to the end? If not, how do you think Jason, the original Big Boy, is gonna kill you off?

Andrew Schwartz

2018-02-01 02:15:18 +0000 UTC

Hello Mitch and your cold robotic companion. I have recently learned that my wife enjoys a similarly strange snack as Wigers beloved HOT salad. The poor woman enjoys cold chips. By that I mean she likes to refrigerate, or preferably put her chips in the freezer before consumption. Potato, corn, you name it. Do you guys have any advice on how to handle this situation? Also wanted to mention that I was at the Vancouver show, and strongly agree with Mitch’s recent bumping down of Japadogs score, the place is wack as hell. Thanks and keep doing the Lords work, Levon.

2018-02-01 01:11:01 +0000 UTC

Dear D-Boys, I was wondering if Mitch could actually get MORE nit-picky and utilize even more of a selective memory when criticizing the newest Star Wars movies. It doesn't seem possible, but I'd like to see him try.

Zachary Hudson

How do you feel about Reba McEntire as the new Colonel Sanders?

2018-01-31 07:23:23 +0000 UTC

Hey boys, think you could do a quick roundup of all the highlight/lowlight local things you ate on your 2 recent trips? What'd you guys think of Cupcake Royale cupcakes in Seattle?

Neil Rhoades

2018-01-31 03:05:33 +0000 UTC

Dear comedy freaks, which chain has the funniest mascot and/or advertising campaign?

Hey Nick I saw on Twitter that you had a blast at PWG show recently. Have you watched any wrestling since then? What do you think of current wrestling? Any chance you become a fan?

Trevor Dreher

Aaron Blankenship

2018-01-30 21:31:11 +0000 UTC

Hey guys, love the show! I went on a road trip recently, and sometimes during long drives we would end up having to stop at similar chain restaurants for multiple meals because we had limited options on the road. I was wondering, what chain restaurant would you choose if you had to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at it, all in one day? P.S. Why did you come to Canada and not do a big Canadian chain? (Should have done something like Tim Horton's, Canadian A&W, Boston Pizza, Smoke's Poutinerie...)

Caleigh B

2018-01-30 20:45:19 +0000 UTC

What are your favorite cartoon characters? I was asked that in a high school class and after we all answered the teacher said the character we picked is a reflection of how we see ourselves.

It’s Oscar season! If you could give a chain restaurant spokesperson or mascot best actor/actress for their work in commercials, who would it be? Also which chain gets best picture (best commercial) in 2017?

2018-01-30 17:44:11 +0000 UTC

hey guys big soda freak here... i know wiger will say to stay away from liquid calories but i just can't resist a great soda. what would be your mount sodamore? do you prefer cans, bottles, or fountain? any good combos from these new coke freestyle machines? i gotta go with Jarritos Toronja, Mexican Coke, Boylan's birch beer, and Cheerwine, with an honorable mention to the ghost of Sprite Remix. Also diet soda can go right in the trash

2018-01-30 15:40:48 +0000 UTC

Hey boyz lot of talk about some of the bigger Nintendo games (botw and oddessey) but are there any other games that you loved in the past year? One of my biggest surprises of 2017 was the mummy demastered (yes the official mummy movie video game) an amazing metroidvania that feels like the next Metroid

I see alot of fans asking for your recos when visiting LA. With that said, if Doughboys Corp ever expands to Hollywood guided tours, where would you take Doughboys fans on a sightseeing/eating tour of the LA area? Related question: where would Mitch take fans on a guided tour of Quincy during his annual four-month sabbatical?

Cody Bozarth

2018-01-30 14:50:39 +0000 UTC

Hey Doughboys + sides, do you have any food "regrets"? This isn't something you regret eating because it was bad but something you regret not eating enough of. This can also include a city where you didn't get to try many places at or a place that shut down before you could go back.

Christar Heng

2018-01-30 14:25:46 +0000 UTC

Fuck, Marry, Kill..... Paddington Bear, Peter Rabbit, and Sherlock Gnomes? Also, if you ever come to Chicago (which you NEED to) is it possible to show the unaired pilot during the show?

Popcorn is the perfect snack for the movies. Hot dogs, peanuts and cracker jacks for the ballgame. But what activity is the best compliment to a hot salad?

What are the best foods for a food fight?

J Vance

2018-01-30 13:36:59 +0000 UTC

With Nick having written a list for Giant Bomb's game of the year feature, inquiring minds want to know: Will this new relationship lead to anyone from Giant Bomb guesting on the show? Or perhaps Nick and/or Mitch being a guest on the Bombcast? Either crossover sounds like a completely natural fit.

Alex

2018-01-30 10:51:03 +0000 UTC

As people who love both video games and sports, what do you thnk of all these traditional sports teams getting involved in eSports? The Warriors, Rockets, and Cavaliers all own League of Legends franchises now, as an example.

Oarfish Fever

2018-01-30 09:52:08 +0000 UTC

Have you heard of any global chains that you'd like to try? I can think of a few in the UK that you'd love if we ever get a 'Doughboys world tour'!

Jack sullivan

2018-01-30 09:51:10 +0000 UTC

Hi doughboys! One nice idea for the double would be if you visited a really high end michelin star restaurant and reviewed it the same way as the chains. Would be fun to hear Mitch and Wiger complain about sauce quantities in fancy dishes.

David Lindberg

2018-01-30 09:12:28 +0000 UTC

Wiger, since you are a known heat seeker, and Mitch may just like to eat, have either of you ever tried a hot wing challenge or some sort of food challenge before? Thanks guys! Love Nick

Donuts

2018-01-30 05:50:56 +0000 UTC

The fountain drinks at Torchys and lots of other Austin restaurants are “natural sodas” with real sugar. Do you like these hippie sodas or prefer your regular Coke products?

Evan peterson

2018-01-30 04:44:10 +0000 UTC

Are there any discontinued fast food or snack items that you miss and would like to see brought back? For me it was the failed arch deluxe burger from McDonald’s that famously cost them millions in the late 90s. I also miss me some PB Crisps. Like nutter butters but even smoother baby!

Nick Corvinus

2018-01-30 04:30:49 +0000 UTC

Mitch - have you thought about a taste test of the new diet cokes?

Jason

2018-01-30 04:01:26 +0000 UTC

What’s one food from and animated show, movie, or comic that looked good enough to eat in real life?

Shaun G.

2018-01-30 03:24:28 +0000 UTC

Hi Yusong and the Doughboys! Imagine this, you are at work ready to go home for the day. Suddenly you remember that you are supposed to have a date with a real hottie tonight and you had promised her/him that you would cook a wonderful dish for the date. You notice that you can only spare 30 minutes for a detour to get something to eat or else you will be late home. Best case scenario is that your date will be impressed with your cooking skills while also not figuring out what a fraud that you are. What do you do?

Tim Johansson

2018-01-30 03:22:46 +0000 UTC

If you were in charge of a Star Wars themed promotional campaign with a fast food chain, which chain would you choose and what Star Wars inspired items would you put on the menu?

Garrison L.

2018-01-30 03:02:22 +0000 UTC

Yusong, please describe the smell in Mitch's house. I've always been curious. Thanks.

Eric Day

2018-01-30 02:46:47 +0000 UTC

If you had to review one fictitious (tv/film) fast food chain, which would you pick and why? some examples... Good Burger, Chotchkies (Office Space), McDowell's (Coming to America), Big Kahuna Burger (Tarantino universe), Mooby's (Clerks), Los Pollos Hermanos, Krusty Burger, etc.

Anthony Sams

2018-01-30 02:33:06 +0000 UTC

What is one food item you enjoy that you wish a fast-food restaurant should carry but doesn't?

Chris PaperclipPound

2018-01-30 02:29:49 +0000 UTC

Are there any foods you prefer at a different temperature than is traditional? Like how some people prefer cold pizza or hot salad?

Steven Smith

2018-01-30 01:57:01 +0000 UTC

When you are/were on a “regular” work schedule (however you want to define that) do you plan your meals out in advance for the week?

Noel Miquiabas

2018-01-30 01:38:04 +0000 UTC

Nick seems like an alcoholic, and Mike, it sounds like you partied in college. Have you guys ever gotten so drunk you pissed your pants? If not, what sorts of embarassing accidents have you had due to your respective alcoholism and party animal status? P.S. - Do you think Wiger will ever be able to toss his own hot salad? He's almost there if he's giving himself BJ's. Spoon Master! Spoon Nation!

Brian Perkins

2018-01-30 00:55:17 +0000 UTC

Have you guys ever tried Blue Apron?

billy b

2018-01-30 00:06:38 +0000 UTC

Hey Doughboys, How important is it for the advertised appearance of a fast-food item to match how it looks when you receive it? I don't think most people assume their burger or sandwich will look as good as it does in commercials, but are there any chains that come to mind that are particularly guilty of serving up food-stuffs that look nothing like their advertised image? What chain's food looks as good or better as advertised? I'd love to hear your opinions on the subject. Long live Burger Brigade, Spoon Nation, Catfish Navy, and Knife Bloc! Robert Seattle, WA

Robert Persinger

2018-01-29 23:53:25 +0000 UTC

A magic genie appears an offers you this deal, do you take it? All fast food you eat is zero calories and will have no ill effect on your weight or health, BUT every time you order it you find a single hair in your food. The hair length and color is different every time. Do you take the deal?

Doctor Remulak

2018-01-29 23:42:30 +0000 UTC

It feels like sporks peaked around 15 years ago, or maybe they just play a bigger part in youth. Have you noticed a decrease in sporks? Were sporks taken out by big utensil? Thanks.

Doctor Remulak

If you're on death row, and you're offered a last meal (fast food or not), what would you request?

I make Brewdogs for a living and personally I think that beer pairs better with food than wine does. What are the best beer/wine and food pairings that you guys have ever experienced?

Caleb and Emily Gilgan

2018-01-29 23:05:30 +0000 UTC

As a college student, the cost of food is very important to me (it's often the determining factor for whether I can get it!). As a result, relatively bad tasting food becomes "good," just because it's so cheap. For example, this restaurant near campus makes the worst egg and cheese sandwiches I've ever seen, but... they're a dollar. Are there any foods that are like that for you? What about the reverse (are any "good" foods just too damn expensive to be worth getting?). ... Fuck the burger brigade

J G

2018-01-29 22:10:58 +0000 UTC

I recently broke up with my GF and have been listening to the Doughboys nonstop to help lighten my mood. What comfort foods do you guys enjoy to help cheer you up? I personally just enjoy a good beer.

Erik Kang

2018-01-29 21:58:20 +0000 UTC

I definitely feel the same way about subway. I think the stuff used to seem so much fresher. And other than the one $6 footlong of the day, the price has risen so much that it's not much cheaper than much better places.

Bobby Beans

2018-01-29 21:32:56 +0000 UTC

Have you done any reviews where afterwards you feel like you got it totally wrong? Either you had an atypical experience, or ordered way wrong? Love the show, congrats on 50 doubles!

Bobby Beans

2018-01-29 21:29:33 +0000 UTC

Now that the Switch is wrapping up it's first year and we've had our big Zelda and Mario games, what are you guys looking forward to in the next year of the Switch's life? Also are you currently playing any thing right now? One last thing if your ever around the mid-south check out Fazoli's it's "fast, fresh, Itaian" based out of Lexington KY (my home). It's fast food Italian that's destroys Olive Garden in every way and it's not even a sit down chain.

Jake Terry

2018-01-29 21:09:30 +0000 UTC

Do you have any utensil preferences/hang-ups? I personally hate forks with 3 tines. I think they are cheap and don't do a good job. And at home, I never use the salad forks that came with my flatware set. I only use the larger dinner forks. I'm a huge fan of using iced tea spoons (very long handles), particularly when eating ice cream or yogurt. I don't like using soup spoons.

Prof_Murph

2018-01-29 21:03:07 +0000 UTC

I live in Boise, Idaho and am curious if you're familiar with a couple of our local items. First, "finger steaks" which are battered and deep fried strips of steak served with cocktail sauce. And second, "fry sauce" which is available everywhere in Idaho and Utah.

Dustin

2018-01-29 20:49:34 +0000 UTC

Having recently re-listened to your catalogue I noticed something on Bug Mane's first appearance. At 33:23 right before he talks about fucking pooty for the first time it's just calompletely silent for 2 seconds. What did he say that had to be edited out?

Firefly Depot

2018-01-29 20:25:06 +0000 UTC

I've got a question for Yusong: what is/was it like living with Mitch, Wolly and Irma? What's Mitch's weirdest roommate habit?

Cal

2018-01-29 20:22:30 +0000 UTC

What chain have you really enjoyed but has fallen the farthest? For me, I always loved Subway when I was younger but with all the new stuff on the menu, I think the service has really gotten terrible. Maybe I am just older and grumpier. Also, why does Yusong hang out with you guys still?

Rob Ward

2018-01-29 20:21:21 +0000 UTC

Would you guys ever come back east and do like an NYC, NJ, Philly run? Hit up WaWa, try pork roll, etc.?

JN

2018-01-29 20:14:04 +0000 UTC

I'm sorry Vancouver sucked. Is there anything we can do to make our city more spoonman, burger-boy friendly? We have an ambititous, hippie city council you might like. They reduced waste going into the landfill by 35% in the last ten years

HotDingus

2018-01-29 20:11:42 +0000 UTC

Mitch, at the end of the polarizing Taco Bell 3 episode, Bobby Lee issued you a challenge regarding the opposite sex. If you failed to complete this challenge, he would shun you on the set of Love. I need to know - did the Spoonman rise to the occasion?

Ryan Funk

2018-01-29 20:09:54 +0000 UTC

Now that you have traveled for quite a few live shows - what's the best and worst experience you've had on the road?

Alex mccormack

2018-01-29 20:02:31 +0000 UTC

Mitch, your hatred for Neil DeGrasse Tyson is well established. How do you feel about his landscaping brother, Moe DeGrasse Tyson.

ageeogee

2018-01-29 19:48:28 +0000 UTC

Are you guys aware that fast food breakfast exists, and is even served all day at some places? Is Nick already on lunch by 9am because of his weird sleep schedule? Or do eggs just gum up his machinery?

ageeogee

2018-01-29 19:43:49 +0000 UTC

Mitch does this thing where he blasts Noel DeGrasse Tyson for overanalyzing movie science, and then immediately overanalyzes the fake science of Force powers in the new Star Wars movies (i.e. Leia couldn't pull herself through space, Kylo Ren is too weak to hold a blaster beam). Nick, does this infuriate you as much as it infuriates me?

ageeogee

2018-01-29 19:40:57 +0000 UTC

I always hear about certain high status foods, such as foie gras, caviar and even gold leaf being used to elevate common delicacies such as hot dogs and burgers. What is your guy's take on these indulgent ingredients being used to gussy up good old fashioned American fare? Deliciously decadent or needlessly lavish?

In a fictional world where fast food/ snack food mascots are professional wrestlers. Who wins the Mascot Royal Rumble, and becomes Mascot Champion of the world. I'm choosing Hollywood Ronald McDonald as champion, he wins via heel tactics. Interference from members of "The Happy Meal Gang". HMG 4 LIFE.

How do you guys go about the check dance, particularly when you know the other person is going to pay for it (maybe a boss or something), but you don't want to seem like you are taking it for granted? Do you make the first move to act like you're going to pay for it, or just let them take initiative? Any good acting tips Mitch?

David Gu

2018-01-29 18:58:52 +0000 UTC

If America had a “National Sauce,” what would it be? I think it’s a two-horse race between ranch and barbecue sauce, and would love to hear your take on this ongoing debate that is dominating the nation’s discourse (in my mind, at least). Love the show; thanks for all that you guys do!

Alan

2018-01-29 18:39:04 +0000 UTC

Hey Doughboys! My husband and I love going to a local diner near our home. It is by far our favorite place to eat out - the food is great, the service is great, there's only one problem...they only have Hunt's ketchup. We both grew up eating nothing but Heinz and feel strongly that all other brands are subpar, so much so that we're thinking about starting to bring our Heinz with us. Please help us settle our debate. If we were to look inside the diner owner's fridge at home, would we find a. a bottle of Hunt's (he's a rare Hunt's guy), b. a bottle of Heinz (he has good taste but is also cheap), or c. no ketchup (he doesnt use ketchup so he doesn't know any better)? Do you all have any condiment brand loyalties? Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm a drummer and when I was 22 played my first show at a big venue. I was extremely nervous and didn't eat anything all day. I got up on stage within 30 seconds of the first song threw up all over my drums - the lighting made it look like blue man group basically. Do you guys have any embarrassing or memorable stories from performing on stage?

Jonathan Hillman

2018-01-29 18:16:15 +0000 UTC

I hated this! Did you guys have any dumb ways your friends tried to ruin your dining experience growing up?

Daniel Wiemals

2018-01-29 18:12:34 +0000 UTC

Hey Doughboys, when I was in high school, my friends developed this game called 'sandwich punch' where if you didn't put a single fry/chip on top of your burger, sub or taco another person you were eating with was allowed to punch your lunch into oblivion

Doughboys, Burger King's whopper used to be my favorite burger, but a recent whopper was poorly crafted left me super unhappy. Now I'm second guessing my past self. have you ever had a meal at a formerly-loved restaurant that totally destroyed the nostalgia and love you had for it?

Hi doughboys, If Mitch, Nick and Yusong were stuck on an island what role would each person play to survive? love the podcast and come back to Houston sometime!

I’m a Burger Brigadier, but also a cat owner. Mitch, what object in your home have Molly and Irma identified as unsanctioned scratching posts? Food wise, are they rocking wet or dry? And it’s the birthday of my longhair bicolor Persian, Charlie, tomorrow 1/30. Can you give little Charles a feline birthday shout out / Moment of Meow?

I know it's a pain, but you guys should do short flights to weird white whales and do travelogue eps. There's a fully-clothed "Hoots" spinoff in Chicago calling your name.

Mitch- did you go on a date with Nicole Byer yet? I'm eagerly waiting your episode of her podcast.

Rafael Gaitan

2018-01-29 17:56:09 +0000 UTC

If you’re having a terrible day, or a day of heartbreak, what food item do you turn to for comfort? Do you have any other food items that you use specifically as a pick-me-up?

Kim Belair

2018-01-29 17:55:39 +0000 UTC

Dear Doughboys,

Rafael Gaitan

2018-01-29 17:53:04 +0000 UTC

Is there a chain, regional, national, international, etc. that you haven't been able to cover yet that is on your bucket list to review?

Jaye Brown

2018-01-29 17:53:01 +0000 UTC

What is a food you wish was easily delivered? I love patty melts and reubens and I am rarely able to go to a sit down restaurant. I often wish there was technology that would allow me to "download a hoagie"

Chelsea George

2018-01-29 17:49:49 +0000 UTC

It's almost Valentines Day, so my question is what were the best/worst dates you guys ever went on? #HotDate or #ColdMate

Josh

2018-01-29 17:49:29 +0000 UTC

What does the Spoonman think of the traditional spooned dish of his native land, CLAM CHOWDAH? On a similar note, have either of you had to abandon some of the linguistics affects or accents you grew up with? Mitch's accent isn't nearly heavy enough for this Masshole, khed.

Gray Bouchard

2018-01-29 17:49:18 +0000 UTC

Hot salad aside, are there any foods you prefer at the "wrong temperature." Some people enjoy cold pizza for example!

Ben

2018-01-29 17:48:15 +0000 UTC

Spoonnation represent! Real question guys. Who do you main in Mario Kart?

MrSarah Hayes

2018-01-29 17:46:44 +0000 UTC

Hey guys, I was wondering after all the fast food you've had since the podcast started, do you like it more or less than you did before?

Michael Dooley

2018-01-29 17:45:57 +0000 UTC

Dearest Boys: With The Doughboys recent departure from Feral Audio, will Yusong and/or Dustin have anything to do with future episodes? Also, would Wiger consider any of this to be “problematic?” My guess is, yes.

Pheelup Mybaloney

2018-01-29 17:45:50 +0000 UTC

There’s a restaurant here in Phoenix that puts pomegranate seeds in their guacamole and I refuse to patronize this establishment for that reason alone.

Dana

2018-01-29 17:44:48 +0000 UTC

Has Wiger had to replace his batteries yet or does he draw charge while he "sleeps"?

Ben Wissett

2018-01-29 17:44:43 +0000 UTC

Nando's is actually South African and thankfully there are some in the U.S! They're mostly in the DC area and Chicago though 😕

Ben

2018-01-29 17:43:59 +0000 UTC

As gameboys, are there any video games about the culture of food that you like? Also, if Nintendo made a Doughboys video game what type of game would it be? Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!

Ian Larson

2018-01-29 17:43:57 +0000 UTC

I’ve been wondering if Yusong was still with the show, but I figured you’d address it when Mitch finally made his way back to town to record new episodes. Glad he’s still around. We love Yusong!

Dana

2018-01-29 17:43:29 +0000 UTC

Lately I've noticed a sharp decline in the quality of the food at my local In-n-out. Nick, if this happens at your favorite location, or overall, would you cop to it or are you ride or die with your In-n-Out fandom?

Robert Davidson

2018-01-29 17:43:22 +0000 UTC

Hey Doughboys - As a kid who grew up in a relatively healthy household, I developed some strange snacking habits. I would rummage through cupboards for anything that wasn't directly fruit-related as that made up a lot of my diet. This meant snacking on things like croutons and french fried onions - a habit I still haven't broken in my mid-20s. My significant other doesn't think this is weird, but I've felt the need to hide my strange snacking habits from roommates and friends in the past. What do you think: can salad toppings be a snack? Do you have any strange snacking habits yourselves? Spoon Nation, Baby. - Aaron

2018-01-29 17:42:19 +0000 UTC

I have a non-trolling question about Hot Salad. I have been known to mix my green salad with pasta sauce if the two are sharing a plate. I have also enjoyed throwing romaine hearts on the BBQ during the grilling season. If forced, what is one thing that qualifies as Hot Salad that both of you would look forward to eating?

frank f

2018-01-29 17:41:42 +0000 UTC

Are there any foods you guys love but hate it when people put auxiliary ingredients in it? For example, I love guacamole, but hate when people put tomatoes in it. Thanks guys!

Niall

2018-01-29 17:41:05 +0000 UTC

Nandos exists in the states too! The DC area for sure.

Jaye Brown

2018-01-29 17:40:39 +0000 UTC

Every time I see a picture of Mitch, he's wearing a Doughboys shirt under a flannel. I assume this is not staged and he simply wears a Doughboys shirt all the time. Does Mitch steal a new shirt from Doughboys HQ every day or does he make Yusong do his laundry? I kid because I love!

Josh L

2018-01-29 17:40:02 +0000 UTC

Assuming Nick is able to scarf down a plate of disgusting french fries - how do you feel about mayo on french fries? While it's popular across much of the world - it is still rarely seen in the U.S. - I think it's delicious.

Danny Knight

What is the most indelible heatseeking mission the three of you have individually journeyed on? Have you ever eaten something so spicy that it stuck with you, in an upsetting or transcendent way?

henry baker

2018-01-29 17:38:39 +0000 UTC

Nick - in the Minions movie, Kevin clearly sacrifices himself by swallowing Scarlet overkills missle, and then latching himself onto her in the Earth’s orbit to destroy her, and presumably himself. Yet he survives! As a self-proclaimed Minion fan, how do you explain this?

Alex Staniloff

2018-01-29 17:38:14 +0000 UTC

What are your go-to pizza toppings?

Brian Edwards

2018-01-29 17:38:05 +0000 UTC

Have either of you guys ever been on a binge eating session? Perhaps when you were younger? What is the most amount of food you've ever taken down in one sitting. Also for Nick, when you hugged Mitch's mom for the ep of the pod she was on, did she smell nice?

Norris Boris

2018-01-29 17:38:03 +0000 UTC

Originally emailed this, but I'll post for good measure. Hey Burger Boy and Spoonman, Hulu just served me an ad promoting Domino's "Carry out insurance" (link below) that provides you a new pizza in the event of an accident when you transport the pizza home yourself. While this may come in handy for Spillboy Wiger, do you think this makes sense for the general public? Are weird innovations like this part of keeping chain restaurants interesting and relevant? What's next? Thanks for listening to my question and since I can't choose between you two, viva la Doughboys!

If you had to live the rest of your lives trapped inside of a video game world, which one would you choose?

Andrew Vuilleumier

2018-01-29 17:37:27 +0000 UTC

I know that Nick is big on video game soundtracks, and I think I've heard a brief snippet of a Mario Kart 64 remix ("Day's End" I believe) played accidentally on a few episodes, so my question is: Are you fans of video game remixes? And if so, what's some of your favorites?

John ketchupspectre

2018-01-29 17:37:05 +0000 UTC

I was going to ask a similar question about the show binging with babish. Seems like a perfect combo for fans of film and food!

Ben

2018-01-29 17:36:17 +0000 UTC

What is your favorite "suicide" soda? Dr. Pepper and Coke is up there for me. And follow-up should restaurants that don't give you the option to fill up your own cup be burned to the ground?

Houston500Anchor

2018-01-29 17:35:59 +0000 UTC

I feel like going in a food date can be precarious. Do you have any good food genres or a specific dish that isn't incredibly messy or unflattering?

RustedShakles

2018-01-29 17:35:53 +0000 UTC

If you guys were given the job to write Episode 9, what would each of you have happen in the plot?

If you had to create one burger using ingredients from any chain restaurant but not 2 from the same what would you chose

Miles Hastings

Ever thought about doing an international tour? Like going to England and trying the chain ’Nandos’ for example

Opening Up The Feedbag

Comments

Who would win in a cage match, The Hamburgeruler or Nick Wiger?

I’d love to hear what the boys think of that scene in TLJ where it looks like a ship landing, but it’s actually an iron.

Hey Mitch, wieger, and Yusong. One day, someone from the year 1585 shows up in our time and country. You are put in charge of introducing them to fast food. What restaurant do you take them to and what item do you recommend? Love the show, keep up the good work, thank you!

I believe you meant beloved HOT salad sir

How is it possible for you guys to continuously give Taco Bell 5 stars? It literally gives me a rumbly tummy every time I go, and that's before I even eat the food. Gross.

What dream podcast would you host?

If you had to come up with a disgusting, macabre, (and slightly racist) feast ala Temple of Doom, what would it include?

Hey, 'Boys, if you ever found yourselves trapped inside a Friday the 13th movie, do you think you'll survive to the end? If not, how do you think Jason, the original Big Boy, is gonna kill you off?

Dear D-Boys, I was wondering if Mitch could actually get MORE nit-picky and utilize even more of a selective memory when criticizing the newest Star Wars movies. It doesn't seem possible, but I'd like to see him try.

How do you feel about Reba McEntire as the new Colonel Sanders?

Hey boys, think you could do a quick roundup of all the highlight/lowlight local things you ate on your 2 recent trips? What'd you guys think of Cupcake Royale cupcakes in Seattle?

Dear comedy freaks, which chain has the funniest mascot and/or advertising campaign?

Hey Nick I saw on Twitter that you had a blast at PWG show recently. Have you watched any wrestling since then? What do you think of current wrestling? Any chance you become a fan?

If The Doughboys were a band, what type of music would you play and what would you title the album? PS Yusong is also in the band.

What do you boys think would be the closest real life analog to the milk Luke shot out of that space utter?

Mount Cheesemore? Top 4 Cheeses you can't live without.

If you were a video game character in the Doughboys video game, which food would be your power-up?

What are your favorite cartoon characters? I was asked that in a high school class and after we all answered the teacher said the character we picked is a reflection of how we see ourselves.

What's the first tv show you remember ever watching?

It’s Oscar season! If you could give a chain restaurant spokesperson or mascot best actor/actress for their work in commercials, who would it be? Also which chain gets best picture (best commercial) in 2017?

What's your perfect Sunday?

What do you guys say to creating competing subs/hoagies/grinders by drafting sandwich ingredients?

did you guys like the Great Gatsby?

Why don't you talk about Sega Genesis?

What toy from your childhood do you remember as bringing you the most happiness?

Hey Doughboys + sides, do you have any food "regrets"? This isn't something you regret eating because it was bad but something you regret not eating enough of. This can also include a city where you didn't get to try many places at or a place that shut down before you could go back.

Fuck, Marry, Kill..... Paddington Bear, Peter Rabbit, and Sherlock Gnomes? Also, if you ever come to Chicago (which you NEED to) is it possible to show the unaired pilot during the show?

Popcorn is the perfect snack for the movies. Hot dogs, peanuts and cracker jacks for the ballgame. But what activity is the best compliment to a hot salad?

What are the best foods for a food fight?

With Nick having written a list for Giant Bomb's game of the year feature, inquiring minds want to know: Will this new relationship lead to anyone from Giant Bomb guesting on the show? Or perhaps Nick and/or Mitch being a guest on the Bombcast? Either crossover sounds like a completely natural fit.

As people who love both video games and sports, what do you thnk of all these traditional sports teams getting involved in eSports? The Warriors, Rockets, and Cavaliers all own League of Legends franchises now, as an example.

Have you heard of any global chains that you'd like to try? I can think of a few in the UK that you'd love if we ever get a 'Doughboys world tour'!

Hi doughboys! One nice idea for the double would be if you visited a really high end michelin star restaurant and reviewed it the same way as the chains. Would be fun to hear Mitch and Wiger complain about sauce quantities in fancy dishes.

Wiger, since you are a known heat seeker, and Mitch may just like to eat, have either of you ever tried a hot wing challenge or some sort of food challenge before? Thanks guys! Love Nick

How would you spend 24 hours in each other’s bodies?

Seems like everybody has the cold and flu right now. Including me. What are some of the doughboys go to eats for when their under the weather?

The fountain drinks at Torchys and lots of other Austin restaurants are “natural sodas” with real sugar. Do you like these hippie sodas or prefer your regular Coke products?

Are there any discontinued fast food or snack items that you miss and would like to see brought back? For me it was the failed arch deluxe burger from McDonald’s that famously cost them millions in the late 90s. I also miss me some PB Crisps. Like nutter butters but even smoother baby!

Mitch - have you thought about a taste test of the new diet cokes?

What’s one food from and animated show, movie, or comic that looked good enough to eat in real life?

If you were in charge of a Star Wars themed promotional campaign with a fast food chain, which chain would you choose and what Star Wars inspired items would you put on the menu?

Yusong, please describe the smell in Mitch's house. I've always been curious. Thanks.

If you had to review one fictitious (tv/film) fast food chain, which would you pick and why? some examples... Good Burger, Chotchkies (Office Space), McDowell's (Coming to America), Big Kahuna Burger (Tarantino universe), Mooby's (Clerks), Los Pollos Hermanos, Krusty Burger, etc.

What is one food item you enjoy that you wish a fast-food restaurant should carry but doesn't?

Are there any foods you prefer at a different temperature than is traditional? Like how some people prefer cold pizza or hot salad?

When you are/were on a “regular” work schedule (however you want to define that) do you plan your meals out in advance for the week?

Have you guys ever tried Blue Apron?

A magic genie appears an offers you this deal, do you take it? All fast food you eat is zero calories and will have no ill effect on your weight or health, BUT every time you order it you find a single hair in your food. The hair length and color is different every time. Do you take the deal?

It feels like sporks peaked around 15 years ago, or maybe they just play a bigger part in youth. Have you noticed a decrease in sporks? Were sporks taken out by big utensil? Thanks.

If you're on death row, and you're offered a last meal (fast food or not), what would you request?

I make Brewdogs for a living and personally I think that beer pairs better with food than wine does. What are the best beer/wine and food pairings that you guys have ever experienced?

I recently broke up with my GF and have been listening to the Doughboys nonstop to help lighten my mood. What comfort foods do you guys enjoy to help cheer you up? I personally just enjoy a good beer.

I definitely feel the same way about subway. I think the stuff used to seem so much fresher. And other than the one $6 footlong of the day, the price has risen so much that it's not much cheaper than much better places.

Have you done any reviews where afterwards you feel like you got it totally wrong? Either you had an atypical experience, or ordered way wrong? Love the show, congrats on 50 doubles!

I live in Boise, Idaho and am curious if you're familiar with a couple of our local items. First, "finger steaks" which are battered and deep fried strips of steak served with cocktail sauce. And second, "fry sauce" which is available everywhere in Idaho and Utah.

Having recently re-listened to your catalogue I noticed something on Bug Mane's first appearance. At 33:23 right before he talks about fucking pooty for the first time it's just calompletely silent for 2 seconds. What did he say that had to be edited out?

What is your Mt Guestmore? You can have any five guests of your choice on the pod. Keep up the gr8 work u 2.

When are you coming to Boston for a weekend to review Papa Gino's and Bertucci's? If not one of those two, what New England chain is Mitch looking forward to reviewing?

Just want you say you guys keep my hope alive in clean comedy!

I've got a question for Yusong: what is/was it like living with Mitch, Wolly and Irma? What's Mitch's weirdest roommate habit?

What chain have you really enjoyed but has fallen the farthest? For me, I always loved Subway when I was younger but with all the new stuff on the menu, I think the service has really gotten terrible. Maybe I am just older and grumpier. Also, why does Yusong hang out with you guys still?

Would you guys ever come back east and do like an NYC, NJ, Philly run? Hit up WaWa, try pork roll, etc.?

I'm sorry Vancouver sucked. Is there anything we can do to make our city more spoonman, burger-boy friendly? We have an ambititous, hippie city council you might like. They reduced waste going into the landfill by 35% in the last ten years

Mitch, at the end of the polarizing Taco Bell 3 episode, Bobby Lee issued you a challenge regarding the opposite sex. If you failed to complete this challenge, he would shun you on the set of Love. I need to know - did the Spoonman rise to the occasion?

Now that you have traveled for quite a few live shows - what's the best and worst experience you've had on the road?

Mitch, your hatred for Neil DeGrasse Tyson is well established. How do you feel about his landscaping brother, Moe DeGrasse Tyson.

Are you guys aware that fast food breakfast exists, and is even served all day at some places? Is Nick already on lunch by 9am because of his weird sleep schedule? Or do eggs just gum up his machinery?

Mine is the opposite of Yarightdude's: What is the one chain restaurant meal that you have tried (or would like to try) to recreate at home? And how did it go?

Wat u look lik tho?

How is the money from the Patreon used? I'm happy to continue supporting the podcast, just curious as to the business side and where these funds go.

If you could have any restaurant in the world re-create your favorite homemade meal which restaurant would you choose, which dish would they be making, and would you have them spruce it up in any way?

What's Tim Kalpakis up to these days?

How has the show changed your day-to-day relationship with food (for better or for worse)?

Hey doughboys! Just curious why the ties with Feral Audio were severed?

If America had a “National Sauce,” what would it be? I think it’s a two-horse race between ranch and barbecue sauce, and would love to hear your take on this ongoing debate that is dominating the nation’s discourse (in my mind, at least). Love the show; thanks for all that you guys do!

What was the sickest that a chain ever made you feel? And does that turn you off of the chain, even if it's one that you have been to multiple times before? Love you three boys, have a good 2018 <3

Gents, has the prospect of an international tour been considered? / Any new "FASTEST to 2" updates?

When are you guys going to do a SImpson centric double episode? Whether it be talk about favorite episodes or reviewing Simpsons world at Universal.
