13 DEC 2022 · Season 3 is winding down but we're going out with a bang and not a whimper. This week friends and podcast co-hosts https://www.instagram.com/busyphilipps/?hl=en(https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/girls5eva-season-3-renewed, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/busy-philipps-is-doing-her-best/id1527623861, Cougar Town) and https://www.instagram.com/instacais/?hl=en (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/busy-philipps-is-doing-her-best/id1527623861, Busy Tonight, Watch What Happens) had a hard time coming up with something argue about but then came up with this: butter pecan vs. mint chocolate chip ice cream. Which one of these ice creams is the best of the worst? Full disclosure, my kid loves both and was devastated to learn these two flavors are unpopular but to be fair my kid hasn't found an ice cream flavor she doesn't like yet. This episode covers a lot of fun topics including manufactured olives, David Letterman pushing caviar, Martha Stewart judging the craft services table, deviled eggs and what they're all doing their best at this week. https://www.instagram.com/richardblais/?hl=en https://parkhyattaviara.com/eat-drink/ember-and-rye/ https://fourflamingosorlando.com See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

6 DEC 2022 · When we first started recording in early 2020, a guest was lined up who was excited to dig into the chicken sandwich wars but then covid shutdown came and the war on chicken sandwiches ended and the episode never happened. Cut to almost three years later and the topic is back! https://www.instagram.com/chefpyet/ (https://www.fox.com/next-level-chef/) is here to defend the Chic-fil-A chicken sandwich while https://www.instagram.com/chefnekia/?hl=en is arguing in favor of Popeye's. Pickle brine, 11 herbs and spices, can something be TOO crispy? A lot of things are covered and our honorable judge https://www.instagram.com/richardblais/?hl=en is put the test yet again. *After this episode the guests were so sweet they went to Popeye's and got us all lunch.

29 NOV 2022 · Every season someone brings an "I love this" vs an "I hate this" take. Season 1 brought us loving cilantro vs. hating cilantro and then season 2 brought us the infamous loving butter vs. hating butter and now here we are in season 3 with another spicy (or not spicy depending on your taste) take. Does spicy food have a place? Chef and author https://www.instagram.com/wyliedufresne/?hl=en is unashamed to say that he thinks spicy food is bad and overrated no matter how many people disagree with him. His friend https://www.instagram.com/chrisyingz/?hl=en (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dave-chang-show/id1375877915, Recipe Club) is here to say spicy food rules. These two came to court with buckets of evidence and it all adds up to one of the best Food Court debates of all time. The most iconic exchange of season 3 is in this episode and is about how difficult it is to make Pirate Booty, you don't want to miss this! https://www.instagram.com/richardblais/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/foodcourtpod/?hl=enSee https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

15 NOV 2022 · Wow wow wow, as we approach the holiday season https://www.instagram.com/carlaphall/?hl=enis here to throw down for savory cornbread against her friend, fellow cook and writer, https://www.instagram.com/chadwickboyd/?hl=en, who is totally okay with a little extra sugar in the mix. Carla does NOT add extra sugar in her recipe and she has the evidence to prove it. This is a Food Court to remember with Carla going into a trance that cannot be broken by any mere bell, Chadwick overcoming a duck confit injury and a final winner's scream that woke my dog from a deep sleep. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! https://www.instagram.com/richardblais/?hl=en Carla's book- https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Carla-and-the-Christmas-Cornbread/Carla-Hall/9781534494695 https://www.chadwickboydlifestyle.comSee https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

8 NOV 2022 · This week in the Food Court we have two podcasters, lovers of the art of arguing and friends: https://www.instagram.com/conspiracystuffshow/?hl=en https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stuff-they-dont-want-you-to-know/id732915228 and https://www.instagram.com/ephemeral.show/?hl=enhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ephemeral/id1461836123 take on the topic of dark beer vs. light beer. Which one is tastiest? Which one attracts the most snobs? Which one has notes of peanut butter? Which one did your grandpa drink? We have something called a tongue drum (seriously), learn that something called Heineken Zero exists (seriously) and that Miller Beer is comprised of soft bubbles (also true?).

Cousins https://www.instagram.com/manologonzalezvergara/ and https://www.instagram.com/sandravergaraone/ are in the studio (our first fully in-studio episode since March 2020!) to argue soft vs crunchy tacos.
