  • Episode 122: Shakshuka
    Jun 1 2025

    The Mediterranean dish that proves if it's liquid, you can poach eggs in it. Noah and Louisa meant to talk about that food for an hour and change; the culinary gods had other plans.

  • Episode 121: Pastelón
    May 25 2025

    Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union between two of the most important foods in global culinary history: picadillo and plantains. Noah and Louisa, neither of them capable of holding their peace (even for a moment), rhapsodize about the results.

  • Episode 120: Stuffed Mushrooms
    May 11 2025

    Just as the monsters who will do battle with the gods at Ragnarök were ferried aboard the keratinous Naglfar, this fungal fleet ferries the flavors of cream cheese, scallions, bacon, and breadcrumbs, and more to your felicitous guests. So Noah and Louisa talk about them, using much less disgusting metaphors.

  • Episode 119: Chicken Paprikash
    May 4 2025

    The official* dish of Dracula Day, a Midwestern comfort classic, and (if you're Noah) a possible explanation for historical events of great importance, this is also the hardest food to pronounce we've ever done on this show.

  • Episode 118: Roast Leg of Lamb
    Apr 20 2025

    It is risen—and by "it," we mean the temperature in your oven as you cook this delectable meal. Noah and Louisa discover that they have very different frames of reference when it comes to this Easter classic.

  • Episode 117: Avocado Toast
    Apr 13 2025

    If only this had never been invented, the Great Recession could've been avoided. Noah and Louisa talk about the food that put housing, healthcare and more entirely out of an entire generation's economic reach.

  • Episode 116: Biscuits & Gravy
    Apr 6 2025

    Humanity has labored for millennia to discover the perfect breakfast. Well, wonder no more: a flavorful, rich, creamy sauce ladled over flaky, golden bivalves of bread. Noah and Louisa rhapsodize about an honorable diner food even further than this description already does.

  • Episode 115: Irish Soda Bread
    Mar 30 2025

    From the dark Satanic mills of nineteenth-century London, to the misty watercolored (false) memories the United States seems to have about the way Ireland was, to the table at everyone's St. Patrick's Day celebration, this is . . . actually, it's pretty great. So, of course, Louisa and Noah find the people who ruined it all.
