All-star, all-rookie, national champion, rebounding dynamo, Forbes 30 under 30, social media mogul, the Bayou Barbie. These are mere descriptors. None could ever fully contain the verisimilitude and complexity of the one and only, Angel Reese. That's where the food scientists at McDonald's step in. A meal perfectly constructed and calibrated to the exact specification of its namesake. A meal that can stand on its own, above the fray. Something unique, something... special? This week on the PodFast FoodCast: the Angel Reese Special.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast
Inglewood, California. Home of the 2028 Summer Olympics, birthplace of WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, setting of the Rick Famuyiwa film Dope, and in the summer of 1995 a young Aaquil Iben Shamon Brown welcomed his younger brother Khalif into the world. The duo would later be known by the noms de guerre Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee, or more widely known as Rae Sremmurd. Two decades would pass before the brotherly pair would take the world by storm with their debut triple platinum single "No Flex Zone" and another decade still before the iconic trap track would be immortalized in a commercial so audacious, so entrancing that it captured the hearts and minds of broadcast television viewers the world over.We focus on a father sitting around the family dinner table with his wife and two daughters engaged in a battle of wills, competing to emerge victorious in a match of Hasbro's ever popular board game, Jenga. He locks in, laser focused, the dulcet tones of Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee surround us, only to be distracted by his younger daughter with the allure of an irresistible chicken sandwich. The tower collapses, game over.Hard cut. We pan out to reveal the entire family basking in the afterglow of a hard fought battle, with a celebratory feast of east Texas' own: Wingstop. Dad has the sandwich in hand. Baskets upon baskets of their sumptuous chicken tenders, each daughter with one of their own. Ramekins of the classic house made ranch dressing placed generously around the table. The smell of freshly cut french fries fills the air. This meal has it all. Rae Sremmurd fades out, sending the viewer to a palace of nostalgic bliss. This is the vision of an idyllic world. Family, brotherhood, competition, togetherness, the American Dream, desire, Black Beatles, and fried chicken. This week on the PodFast FoodCast: Wingstop.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast
Sides, the backbone of any meal. From french fries to onion rings, we at the PodFast FoodCast HQ have reviewed a great many number of "tag-a-longs" and "sidekicks". But it's been nearly two years since we last took a look at one of the quintessential backyard BBQ staples: macaroni and cheese. And what better way to triumphantly return to the world of "also-rans" and "other guys" then spending an afternoon with our close personal friend Colonel Sanders, and his famous restaurant, Kentucky Fried Chicken. That's right, we had the KFC Mac & Cheese, and now it's time for the review.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast
The fourth season of the PodFast FoodCast is here, and it's time for these old dogs to learn some new tricks. You see, the last few seasons we've kicked things off with a review of a McDonald's breakfast item. This season? A Chick-fil-A breakfast item. Completely different. Remember the 'dles? You guys loved those. Those are gone too, we play Sporcle quizzes now. New year, new podcast.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast

It's the most wonderful time of the year... if you're a gamer! The 2024 Game Awards presented by video game industry veteran Geoff Keighley aired last week and Steven and Ryan had A LOT to say about them. If that's not enough - we also reviewed not one, but two of the most iconic fast food menu options from our favorite fast food restaurant, Taco Bell. The indomitable Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos and the inimitable Mountain Dew Baja Blast. It's been a long time coming, and we finally delivered.

Is it "the best McRib we've ever had"?

The mighty cheese curd is known far and wide, from the Badger State to the Great White North. It is an encapsulation of its people, an intermingling of both fortitude and grace. At the restaurant Culver's Frozen Custard and ButterBurgers they have harnessed the power of that elegant dance, and morphed it into something far greater than anyone could have possibly imagined. Here at the PodFast FoodCast we are proud to present: the CurderBurger. A Culver's Deluxe topped with a golden Wisconsin Cheese Curd Crown. A sandwich fit for a king.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast
The train has reached the station. Penn Station. But not the one you're thinking of, this week's episode has nothing to do with The Big Apple, NYC, New York City. Instead, we're talking sandwiches, Penn Station East Coast Subs, a submarine sandwich chain from Ohio. The Buckeye State. We also solve a math equation.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast

Hut, hut, hike! Football season is right around the corner, and what's a better way to celebrate than heading over to your local Culver's and grabbing the NEW JJ's Way Meal presented by NFL superstar JJ Watt! It comes with a Culver's Deluxe cheeseburger, a Culver's signature root beer, and their famous cheese curds. Or at least, it's supposed to come with cheese curds... your mileage may vary.Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast
With the dog days of summer dragging on, here at the PodFast FoodCast we only have one thing on our mind: heat. Blistering temperatures are one thing, but an entire fast food menu dedicated to heat, the inferno, pure unadulterated FIRE? That's what the food scientists over at Burger King HQ whipped up this summer, and we are here to review their Fiery Bacon Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Try and say that one ten times fast!Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabayburger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsTwitter: @podfastfoodcastInstagram: @podfastfoodcastYouTube: PodFast FoodCastTwitch: podfastfoodcast
