A Sandwich is a House That Needs Proper Constuction (w/Theodore Pynchon)

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0000

With Lindsey out on vacation trying to find her true self, Kirk has his son Theodore on the show to talk about sandwiches. Theo, who's spent the last year and a half making sandwiches as a part-time job, is a sandwich expert (he calls himself a "sandwich wizard"...um...okay), who gives us the fine art of creating the perfect sandwich in terms of bread, meats, toppings, and condiments. Then Theo uses all of his "wizardry" to create the ideal sandwich for his dad. Will he fail and disappoint Kirk as he has done most of his life?

Granola and the Chew-Chunk Theory

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Granola is for more than just hippies. It's for people like Kirk and Lindsey, people who can appreciate granola for what it is...a food that is kinda good for you but not really. So the two talk best/worst flavors, crumbly vs. chunky, what dried fruits belong or don't belong, the importance of the chew-chunk theory, and wtf is savory granola.

Drinking the Kool-Aid That Is Whole Foods

Wed, 13 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Whole Foods can seem like an annoying lifestyle...but it's an annoying lifestyle that Kirk and Lindsey are here for! So much so that the two devote an entire episode to it, filled with why they go there, what they get, what they don't get, the love/hate relationship they have with the fact that Amazon owns it, and then the two separately do their own Whole Foods visit, resulting in with one of the biggest surprises in the show's history.

There Is No Cool Way To Eat Jerky

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Is there a better snack than jerky? Kirk and Lindsey think not, and that's why they are celebrating all things jerked in this episode. They talk types (how come there's no chicken jerky?), flavors (Dr. Pepper Jalapeño is just sooooo stupid), and they marvel at the fact that certain squirrels actually make their own jerky!

When Does a Baked Potato Suddenly Become a LOADED Baked Potato?

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

It may seem like a philosophical question, but there is indeed an actual answer to when just a baked potato transforms into a loaded baked potato. And Kirk and Lindsey have that answer! (You're welcome.) They also have the answers to which type of loaded baked potato is the best, as well as a bizarre tale of why Kirk as a teenager once went to prom in Muncie, Indiana with a girl he met in Paris, France. (And yes, that story does have a baked potato theme.)

Why is Everyone Trying to Make Yogurt NOT Taste Like Yogurt?

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Kirk and Lindsey like to dabble in the yogurt world, but for the life of them, they can't figure out why yogurt can't just be yogurt. (MAPLE BACON DONUT IS NOT A FLAVOR OF YOGURT THAT SHOULD EVER EXIST.) So the two dive into all the bs flavors that are out there, as well as talk about best/worst add-ins, the nostalgia of certain yogurt brands, why fro yo is just dumb, and why certain bros are so intimidated by eating yogurt that they have to call it, "brogurt."

Pretzels are a Desperation Food

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Seriously, does anyone really care about pretzels? Kirk and Lindsey aren't just being s**tty (well, no more than usual). They seriously want to know. Cause when it comes to pretzels, the two of them give it one big, collective shrug. It's not that they hate them. It's just that they're...well...pretzels.

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0000

While Lindsey is on forced, unpaid, administrative leave (aka, another vacation), Kelly Wallace-Barnhill steps in to talk about a whole hill of beans! They do F Marry Kill with types of beans, play the Elimination Game with bean dishes, argue about the worth of chickpeas, and Kirk tells the tale of how he used to eat his green beans as a kid (it's as weird as you'd imagine).

This week Kirk and Lindsey dunk themselves into a refreshing, tangy bowl of salsa, discussing green vs. red, the best Mexican food to add salsa to, whether is it okay to add salsa to non-Mexican food, the wrong things to dip into your salsa, the excitement of seeing a salsa bar, and why fruit salsa is complete and utter BS.

Kirk's Salad Redemption??? (with Kelly Wallace-Barnhill)

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0000

In 2021, Kirk and Lindsey did a salad episode where they competed on who could create a better salad. Lindsey won...Kirk cheated. When the salad episode was re-released last month, frequent guest and friend of Food Fight! Kelly Wallace-Barnhill listened and lost her damn mind. So to right the wrong, Kirk, Lindsey, and Kelly gathered together so Kirk could create another salad (without cheating) in the hopes to mend fences. (It didn't.)

It's summer and if you aren't eating popsicles, are you even having a summer? Like when else are you eating popsicles? Spring? Meh. Fall? Hard pass. Winter? Just...stop. Popsicles are meant for summer, so that's what Kirk and Lindsey are talking about this week — nostalgic popsicles, bougie popsicles, creamsicles, even...wait for it...pickle popsicles. And out of nowhere, Lindsey's husband Bradley bum rushes the pod to explain the joys of eating popsicles as an adult.

Cottage Cheese Has Gotten a Glow Up

Remember when we all used to make fun of cottage cheese? It was that thing from the '70s and '80s that was scooped into a melon and eaten by moms everywhere? Not anymore. Thanks to Tik Tok, cottage cheese has gotten a glow up and now all the cool kids are doing it. But are Kirk and Lindsey doing it? Is cottage cheese worth all this new hype, or is it the same stuff we mocked decades ago?

Crepes are wonderful. So why the hell aren't we eating them? Shame on us...shame on us all. This week Kirk and Lindsey dig into what exactly is a crepe, when's the best time to eat them, dumb creperies names, savory vs. sweet, and why America has decided to "Cold Stone Creamery" the concept of a crepe.

Let's Debate the Hottest Food Takes from the Internet

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0000

You think Kirk and Lindsey have hot food takes? Yeesh! The internet is literally on fire with them, so the two dissect a bunch to see how valid they really are. Takes like:

"If you put nuts in brownies you are an evil person."

"Vanilla is the best flavor of ice cream."

"I love beets because they taste like how dirt smells."

And those aren't even the hottest!

If You're Gonna Be a Cafe, You Better Be Cute AF

Wed, 24 May 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Cafe food is good. But cafe food from a cute af cafe is GREAT. In fact, in Kirk and Lindsey's opinion, if your cafe isn't cozy, quaint, allows for dogs, and doesn't have a unicycle mounted to the wall, what's the point of even eating there? So, on this week's ep, the two not only talk about what vibe and what food makes a cafe great, but they compete head to head in creating their version of the perfect cute cafe.

Erewhon is an L.A. health food store — but is it more lifestyle than store? That's what Kirk, Lindsey, and regular Food Fight guests Kelly Wallace-Barnhill and Jackie Brubaker try and find out with a field trip to the overpriced Los Angeles institution. Their mission: To see how much they can get with a mere $20. How much can they get? And how bougie will it be?

Sunday is fun day...especially when you go to downtown LA's long-running food festival — Smorgasburg! It's been almost a year since Kirk, Lindsey, and frequent guest Kelly Wallace Barnhill went to stuff their faces at this weekly event, so they decided to go back and see if they can improve on their first experience. What will they eat? Will they order wrong? Will they order too much or too little? And why is the line for coffee so damn long????

Potatoes…No Skin…No Eat-y

Both Kirk and Lindsey agree that if it wasn't for French fries, they wouldn't eat many potatoes. Yet each time they talk of a potato dish, they rave about it. Weird? Yeah, well that's this episode. The two debate the proper way to load your baked potato, the dumbness of twice-baked potatoes, are mashed potatoes all that, fingerlings vs. redskin, russet vs. Yukon, how much cheese should go on a potato, and if there is no skin...then there's no eat-y.

It’s the start of 2023 and Lindsey is on vacation…again. So Kirk decides to school his college-bound son Theodore on the fine art…of…well…eating in college. The two discuss what to eat and what not to eat, dining hall food, peanut butter, ramen, tuna mac and cheese, crackers, canned soup, and, of course, ALL THE PIZZA. And Kirk forces Theodore to eat an absolutely gross dish he used to make when he was a college student in the ’90s. (Is that good parenting or great parenting?)

And they also give a sneak peek of episodes coming in season four!

It’s time for the holidays, aka, time for eating anything and everything! Kirk and Lindsey love this time of year but, of course, it comes with some caveats. They discuss why everything has so much damn peppermint in it, is lasagna a Christmas dish, why all the meat courses during the holidays are dumb, bacon-wrapped scallops vs. bacon-wrapped dates, why cookies are the most holiday dessert of all, and the two come up with the perfect Lifetime holiday movie that somehow turns naughty and not nice.

“This Grilled Cheese Has Too Much Cheese.” - Said No One Ever

Wed, 07 Dec 2022 08:00:00 -0000

Let’s just say what we’re all thinking: If you don’t like grilled cheese, then you don’t deserve nice things or friends. Grilled cheese is damn near perfect, and this week Kirk and Lindsey celebrate a meal that is just bread, cheese, and butter. They debate best/worst bread, best/worst cheese, how sexy is that cheese stretch, which is worse — burnt grilled cheese or not-melted-enough grilled cheese, best add-ons, when grilled cheese gets too cute with flavors, and does grilled cheese even need a bowl of tomato soup?

Let’s Pretend We’re Housewives From the 1970s (With Kelly Wallace-Barnhill and Jackie Brubaker)

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 08:00:00 -0000

A few episodes back (the wine party episode to be exact), off the pod Kirk brought out a handmade cookbook from 1972 that his mom was given when the family moved to the suburbs of Cleveland. Everyone thought it was so funny (and everyone had had so much wine), that Kirk and Lindsey decided that the two of them, along with Jackie Brubaker and Kelly Wallace-Barnhill, would randomly choose a recipe from the book, recreate that exact recipe, come back, and have a 1970's housewives dinner party. One month later…here they all are.

How Not to Be a Trash Monster at Thanksgiving (with Nick Leighton & Leah Bonnema)

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:00:00 -0000

It’s no big secret that Kirk and Lindsey are trash monsters and that they may need some…okay, A LOT…of help in the etiquette department. So this week they’ve invited the hosts of the incredible podcast Were You Raised By Wolves? to come on the show to discuss Thanksgiving manners, etiquette, and, of course, food. The four also dive deep into the question, “What do you do when friends invite themselves over for Thanksgiving?” and, more importantly, learn the power of the phrase, “Unfortunately, that’s not possible.”

Is It More Fun To Say You’re Vegan Than Being Vegan?

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 08:00:00 -0000

If you don’t think of vegan food as trying to be anything else than vegan food, then it’s actually pretty tasty. That being said, some vegans are just the WORST (looking at you West Side Los Angelenos) and the commitment to being vegan can be rough. (Vegan cheese, anyone?) So this week, Kirk and Lindsey hash out their feelings on vegan food, how well it works in Asian food, how awful it works in Italian, the genius of jackfruit, the acceptability of vegan desserts, why the F it’s so damn expensive, and they reveal 24 food products you probably didn’t know where vegan!

You Only Want Cajun Food When You Can’t Have It

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 07:00:00 -0000

When it comes to cajun food, Kirk and Lindsey are real dumb dumbs. (Well, more so than usual.) So on this episode they have a lot more questions than answers, such as jambalaya vs. gumbo, are po boys the best sandwiches ever, are red beans and rice too underrated, is chicory coffee all that, would they eat rabbit, would they eat alligator, and what’s the deal with all the damn King Cake dessert mutations?

If You Don’t Like Peanut Butter…We Don’t Like You

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Kirk and Lindsey love peanut butter so much that they just had to do an entire episode on it. (You’re welcome.) They debate crunchy vs. creamy (again), salted vs. unsalted, best peanut butter desserts, best and worst peanut butter combos, and weirdest dishes made with peanut butter. (Like…um…chili?) More importantly, Lindsey discovers a secret about her new husband that is so shocking that it makes her question her marriage!

A Good, Ole Fashioned Wine Party with Kelly Wallace-Barnhill and Jackie Brubaker!

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Lindsey’s married, bitches! And to celebrate that, Kirk and Linds are having a wine party with Food Fight friends Kelly Wallace-Barnhill and Jackie Brubaker. They’ve got red, white, rosé, unfiltered wine, Prosecco, and they’ve even got a charcuterie board AND chocolate chip cookies! And they’re talking wine too: Bests, worsts, is it basic or is it classy, wine coolers and spritzer, crushed ice in wine (WUT?) how wine is made for talking, how getting 2 Buck Chuck in your 30s is WRONG, and, for some reason, a deep dive into perfumes and colognes they loved back in the day. (Yeah, A LOT of wine was consumed on this one.)

Our Milkshakes DO Bring All the Boys to the Yard (with Theodore Pynchon)

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 07:00:00 -0000

While Lindsey is in the throes of wedding panic, Kirk brings on his teenage son Theodore to discuss all the things that make a milkshake…well…a milkshake. They debate if they’re more special than a bowl of ice cream, worst/best flavors, how many flavors should you be allowed when ordering a milkshake, the stress that is figuring how fast or slow you should drink a milkshake, and when does all the sparkle and extras put on a milkshake turn it into stunt food? More importantly, they pose this psychological dilemma: Why is it socially acceptable to dip a French fry in a milkshake but when you dip it in a bowl of ice cream you’re a “weirdo”?

Nutrition Bars: Candy Bars in Disguise

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 07:00:00 -0000

“OMG! I can’t wait to eat this nutrition bar instead of real food!” — said no one ever. And, yet, here we are, still buying all sorts of meal replacement bars for all these years, dating back to when they first started in the 1950s. So this week, Kirk and Lindsey break out the bars, talking about best/worst brands, best/worst flavors, are bars even worth it, why we all get rope-a-doped into buying nutrition bars in the first place, and finally, debating whether all these newfangled bars are just candy bars in disguise.

Airport Food: The Worst Food at the Worst Price

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Airport Food: The Worst Food at the Worst Price

If there is anything sadder than airplane food, well, we sure haven’t experienced it. And, yet, with each and every airport food moment, there is always a glimmer of hope that makes us truly believe that it’s all going to taste good in the end. (Spoiler: it doesn’t.) So this week, Kirk and Lindsey talk about the horror that is airport food and try to find constructive ways to solve it. (Spoiler: they don’t.) They also try to solve the “wilted lettuce on every airport sandwich” issue, argue if bringing leftover pizza to the airport is genius or bizarre, and play the “Airport Food Elimination Game” to decide once and for all which airport restaurant is the most tolerable.

Is Trader Joe’s Heaven or Hell?

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 07:00:00 -0000

One of the biggest — maybe only — benefits of living in Los Angeles is the proliferation of Trader Joe’s. They are…like…EVERYWHERE. And Kirk and Lindsey love the quirky store, so this week they are talking all things Trader Joe’s, including what’s great about it, what’s crap about it, what they obsess over, what drives them insane, best/worst products to buy, and the hell that is a Trader Joe’s parking lot.

Avocados Are a Fickle B**ch

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Avocados are wonderful. But, let’s be honest: They are a fickle b**ch that you have to keep happy if you wanna get with it. So on this week’s episode the two talk everything glorious about “the alligator pear” (that’s a thing — look it up), discussing how avocados are truly high maintenance, how they are SOOOO L.A., best ways to eat them, weirdest ways to eat them, what’s the ideal way to cut them open, and the pure agony of a brown avocado.

Ramen Was Meant for Slurping

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Kirk and Lindsey have danced around the topic of ramen in previous episodes, but now it’s time for the two to dive into a big, steaming bowlful of the stuff. This week they debate types of ramen, best/worst ramen toppings, when did ramen turn all “hipster”, is instant ramen trash or a necessity, how loud do you slurp your ramen, and how important is it for your ramen to have an egg? (Spoiler: VERY.)

Late-Night Eating…Go Big or Go Home (with Kelly Wallace-Barnhill)

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 07:00:00 -0000

While Lindsey is in Mexico on a “pre-honeymoon” (Is that even a thing?), Kelly Wallace-Barnhill joins this week’s episode to talk about the joys (and rules, per Kirk) of late-night eating. They debate at what age should you stop late-night eating, at what time does late-night eating become early breakfast, best/worst diner foods, best/worst frozen foods, eating out vs. eating in, and how if you are eating healthy late at night then YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

The Gang Eats an Edible (aka, “The Sillies in my Heart”)

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Kirk has never tried an edible, and the last time he was high was 2008. So he decides it’s high time (See what we did there?) to dive into cannabis culture and how it relates to food. With Lindsey and friend-of-pod Kelly Wallace-Barnhill, the three head over to West Hollywood for an edible field trip! What kind of edible will they try? Will it even taste good? How high will they get? Will they get the munchies? And what happens when Kelly suddenly gets, “the sillies in my heart”?

Kirk and Lindsey’s Sausage Party

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Lindsey is back and, per her request, she’s asked to talk about…sausages? Yeah, sausages! Sausages rule. Why? Cause you can literally put them in anything. So this week, Kirk and Lindsey discuss different types of sausages, different flavors, why they’re WAY better than hot dogs, link vs. patty, are they better whole or cut up, and what dishes are the two exactly putting their sausages in. (Get your minds out of the gutter, folks.)

Dining and Dating (with Jackie Brubaker)

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 07:00:00 -0000

While Lindsey is out enjoying her best life (without Kirk), we invited back to the show our super-talented friend and multi-hyphenate, Jackie Brubaker! One of Jackie’s many talents is that of a life/relationship coach, so she and Kirk dive into the crazy world of dining and dating. The two debate best and worst foods to eat on a date, judging a date based on their food choices, how too nice of a restaurant is just too much pressure, sharing appetizers vs. sharing desserts, is a lunch date even a date, and then the two share their most horrible dinner dates ever!

The SPAM-i-sode (with Theodore Pynchon)

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 07:00:00 -0000

While Lindsey is away being all…Lindsey, Kirk brings his teenage son Theodore on to talk about the joys of…SPAM? It turns out Theo is a staunch defender of “The Miracle Meat,” so much so that he even coined the title of this episode. The two discuss why SPAM gets such a bad rap, why are people so freaked out about it, how great it goes with, well, almost anything, weird SPAM combos, weird SPAM flavors, and then father and son cook up a batch of a “Scientifically Processed Animal Matter” flavor they’ve never tried before. Will it keep them on Team SPAM?

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Nobody…and we mean NOBODY…loves Bloody Marys more than Lindsey Gentile and Kelly Wallace-Barnhill. So Kirk invited them over for some grilled chicken tacos, some homemade salsa with restaurant-style tortilla chips, and all the Bloody Marys the two besties can handle. The three discuss what makes a good Bloody Mary, are they only good for brunch, best/worst pairings with food, what else can you use besides vodka (or tomato juice), and why the hell do today’s Bloody Marys have so much damn garnish? Then Linds, Kels, and Kirk see who can make the best Bloody Mary based not just on taste but — as Lindsey calls it — SPARKLE.

Brownies Deserve More Love Than We Are Giving Them

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Who doesn’t like a brownie? Weirdos, that’s who. That being said, despite being amazing, it kinda feels like brownies don’t get as much love as other desserts. So on this week’s episode, Kirk and Lindsey dedicate an entire episode to this underrated gem and debate which flavors pair best with a brownie, are they as good as cookies or cake, edge vs. center, chewy vs. fudgy vs. cakey, brookie vs. brownie, do nuts really belong in brownies, are fruit-filled brownies even worth eating, and the dumbness of brownie bites and brownie brittle. Then Kirk tries a famously nostalgic, store-bought brownie that everyone swears is amazing and Lindsey talks about the time she sold pot brownies to help fund her web series.

She said she wanted to participate in a food auction, so here we are. Who will create the best fine dining menu? Will the math finally work out? Will they kill each other? Yeah, this one gets TESTY.

Casseroles: Hipster, Old-Fashioned, or White Trash?

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Casseroles get made fun of but, at the same time, everyone eats them. That sounds like the perfect recipe for a Food Fight! episode, doesn’t it? So this week Kirk and Lindsey are taking a big heaping spoonful of casserole, debating which ones are comforting, which ones are garbage, do casseroles make the best leftovers, what can really be called a casserole, and since casseroles are so 1970s, would you eat a casserole at a swinger’s party? And then the two play a game that Kirk totally made up at the very last minute: Is this casserole hipster, old-fashioned, or just straight-up white trash?

Kirk gets called out for how he says “egg” more than anything else on this show. So why not do an entire episode about them, just so he can keep saying “egg” repeatedly and bug the crap out of Lindsey? That sounds fun, right? So this week, the two are talkin’ egg facts, are eggs better alone or when added to a dish, the best dish to add an egg to, best/worst ways to cook eggs, eggs for breakfast vs. eggs for dinner, and why the hell are hardboiled eggs so damn hard to peel?

Who said that? Well, you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out, cause this week Kirk and Lindsey are talking dip! They argue personal favorites, what truly can be called a dip, best/worst snack dippers, best/worst veggie dippers, and is “double-dipping” really that much of a crime? Then Kirk tells the story of the best-tasting dip experience he’s ever had that will either sound delicious or it will haunt your dreams.

Does anyone really get THAT excited about eating nuts? Well, Lindsey does, and she proves that when it comes to nuts, she is a queen. And, in this week’s episode, she gets to show off her nut knowledge as she and Kirk debate how basic are peanuts, almonds vs. cashews, the joy and/or heartache of opening pistachios, how long have you kept nuts in your cupboard, best/worst flavored nuts, should you bring nuts to a party, and then the two compete in a “Create Your Own Trail Mix” challenge, where Lindsey owns Kirk so bad that all he can do is bow down to the queen.

If you can’t get with bagels then, frankly, Kirk and Lindsey can’t get with you. But, of course, not all bagels are created equal, as there is a lot of trash out there. (CHOCOLATE CHIP BAGELS ARE NOT A THING.) So, this week, the two are discussing banger and bulls**t bagel flavors, why New York wins at bagels, why LA sucks at bagels, the wrongness of certain cream cheese flavors, how much cream cheese is too much, toasted vs. not toasted, best/worst bagel toppings, and then Kirk describes exactly what his ideal bagel shop would be if he owned one. (Thank God he doesn’t own one.)

Think of it as a beer tasting (minus the classiness) as the three discuss best and worst beers, beer fads, beer stories from their youth, and then things truly unravel when the three compete in a game of Beer Pong. Oh, and they also dive deep into Kelly’s imaginary boyfriend, Todd, who microbrews IPA. (We said this was one for the ages, didn't we?)

Bubble and Squeak, Nik Naks, Jam Roly Poly, and…Spotted Dick? (With Sze Wing Leong-Simpson)

Wed, 18 May 2022 07:00:00 -0000

British food at times might get unfairly dunked on for not being very good, but with names like Bubble and Squeak, Nik Naks, Jam Roly Poly, Discos, Bangers and Mash, and (of course) Spotted Dick, it definitely wins for most enjoyable names to say. Of course, Kirk and Lindsey are total dumb-dumbs when it comes to British cuisine, so this week they’ve asked Kirk’s good friend (and bonafide Brit) Sze Wing Leong-Simpson to come on the show and school them on the fine art of English yummies, what’s tasty, what’s not, and are British food names really that funny? (Spotted Dick will never not be funny.)

The competition gets even fiercer as Lindsey, Kelly, and Kirk (who won the first time) test their food knowledge on food topics ranging from bread and BBQ to veggies and wine, and more.

Wed, 04 May 2022 07:00:00 -0000

The FDA classifies gum as a food, so why not spend this week’s episode having pointless and unnecessary arguments about it? Kirk and Lindsey talk about how gum is much more important to you as a kid, how mints are better than gum, what’s the best Wrigley gum, Bubble Yum vs. Bubblicious vs. Hubba Bubba, was Fruit Stripe gum all that, and is Juicy Fruit the worst effing gum on the planet? Then Lindsey sees how long gum lasts before it loses its flavor and Kirk tries a gum that’s been around since 1884 that basically scars him for life.

Which Casual Dining Restaurant Chain Should Be the “Last Chain Standing”?

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 12:00:00 -0000

We’ve all been to casual dining restaurant chains, but do we really like them? Really? That’s what Kirk and Lindsey will be discussing this week, as the two dig into the sameness of the restaurant chains, what to order, what definitely not to order, should you take a date to a chain restaurant as an adult, and are they sadder if they are attached to a mall? And then Kirk and Lindsey play the Elimination Game, taking out individual casual dining chains one by one until there is only a single chain restaurant left standing. (Teaser: Kirk’s first restaurant eliminated is a DOOZY and nearly pushes Lindsey over the edge.)

Spilling Some Tea

People don’t love tea as much as they should and, quite frankly, that’s just a damn shame. Cause tea is awesome…well…with some major caveats, of course. On this week’s episode, Kirk and Lindsey dive into tea vs. coffee, how much bottled iced teas suck, loose vs. bagged, iced vs. hot, how herbal teas are not even tea, is jasmine green tea the best tea ever, has anyone ever really had white tea, are afternoon tea times really worth it, and then Lindsey takes a tea test and fails MISERABLY.

Abby Gardner Loves Circus Peanuts and Will Defend Them to the Death

We’ve done candy shows in the past, but we haven’t focused exclusively on the non-chocolate variety. And we’ve also never done it with such a very special guest like Abby Gardner, host of the awesome podcast, ‘We Have Notes.’ Abby is a straight-up candy freak who loves any and all candy including gumballs, Laffy Taffy, and, yes, even Circus Peanuts. And, yet, she doesn’t really care about chocolate. Who is this person? Kirk and Lindsey find out as they debate with Abby about Skittles, Lifesavers, Jolly Ranchers, jellybeans, Bottle Caps, Spree, grandma candies, and how Abby would even take a grape-flavored candy over a piece of chocolate. Again…WHO DOESN’T CARE ABOUT CHOCOLATE?

Kirk Helps Lindsey Plan Her Wedding Dinner Menu!

It’s coming up on that time of the year…WEDDING SEASON! (Okay, maybe that much excitement for wedding season is a smidge much.) But, tis the season, and since Lindsey is in the middle of planning her own wedding (yikes), she and Kirk decided to talk — wedding dinners. The two debate what they want and don’t want to see on a wedding menu, is the food at a wedding even that important, how much pleasing of the guests do you really need to do, and how weird or different can you get with a wedding dinner. And not only does Kirk reveal what food he had at his own wedding (20 years ago!), but he also helps Lindsey plan her upcoming wedding menu. What are the odds she takes his advice?

Flashback Episode: When Kirky Met Lindsey

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Kirk went on a family vacation to San Francisco, and while he ate ALL of the food in the city, he decided to take a little break and not record any of it. (We all make choices.) So instead, we've decided to flashback to nearly two years ago to the very first episode Kirk and Lindsey ever did. What did they debate? Sandwiches. Come see where the love and, more importantly, the fighting began!

Can I Interest You in a Salad Smoothie?

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Juice and smoothies are more than just drinks…they are a lifestyle. But should they be consumed with actual meals? That’s just one of the topics Kirk and Lindsey debate on this juice/smoothie episode, along with if juicing is really worth it, how awful grape juice is, which orange juice brand would you F, Marry, or Kill, are smoothies really just adult milkshakes, which fruit is the “flavor bully” in a smoothie, would either of them try a meat smoothie (yes, it’s a thing), and then Kirk tries to sell Lindsey on the concept of a salad smoothie. Will she go for it?

Should Boba Be Considered A Dessert?

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Kirk and Lindsey LOVE dessert…but do they love Asian desserts? That’s what they’re going to find out on this episode, as the two travel the San Gabriel Valley on an Asian dessert field trip to see if they can get behind grass jellies, red beans, taro roots, sweetened shaved ices, pudding buns, egg waffles, coconut jellies, and, of course, boba drinks. Yeah, it’s a lot of dessert eating for one episode, but they do it for the love of science. (Dessert is science, right?)

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 08:00:00 -0000

After talking about it forever, after many scheduling conflicts, Food Fight! is finally having a pierogi (and Prosecco) party! Kirk, Lindsey, Kelly Wallace-Barnhill from ‘F*ck You, I’m Smarter,’ and Jackie Brubaker from the ‘That Girl’ podcast are all here to learn how to make pierogi from Kirk’s wife, Ann. (Who in turn learned how on the Internet.) This episode is filled with pierogi-making tips, pierogi facts, pierogi quizzes, lots of pierogi eating, and copious amounts of Prosecco. Kirk’s kids even deign to come down from their rooms to eat pierogi and talk trash about their dad, cause it ain’t a party until some tears are shed.

A whole episode dedicated to crackers?! Hells yeah! This week, Kirk and Lindsey dive deep into crackers; the one food that’s always in your pantry but you’re just not quite sure how it got there. The two debate Wheat Thins vs. Triscuits, cheese crackers vs. peanut butter crackers, does everything taste good on a Ritz, should Goldfish be considered crackers, are keto crackers worth it, and how crackers with raisins in them are straight BS. Then Kirk attempts to swallow six Saltines in one minute without any water. Will he succeed?

Whose Bar Would You Rather Eat In?

Executive Producer: Kirk Pynchon

Producer/Engineer: Andrew Price

Theme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” Pynchon

Description: We all know that the sole purpose of bar food (aka, “pub grub”) is to get us all to drink more and, frankly, we ain’t mad at that. Well, sometimes Kirk and Lindsey are, depending on what type of bar food the two are shoving down their gullet. The two discuss if pizza, hot dogs, and sandwiches can really be considered bar food, does bar food taste better when you are physically sitting at the bar, are gastro pubs worth it, is it sad to eat alone in a bar, and how ordering an actual meal in a bar is just plain stupid. Then, Kirk and Lindsey play a game where they create their interpretation of “the perfect bar” with the perfect bar food menu. Whose place are you going into first?

What better way to celebrate the 100th episode of Food Fight! than having Lindsey come over to Kirk’s on a Saturday night to eat some steak? (Answer: There is no better way.) So, while gorging on a full steak dinner, the two discuss the best cuts, how much of a crime is medium well, is rare steak just a flex, grilled vs. broiled vs, pan-fried, best/worst toppings, best/worst sides, and the pure joy of going to a steakhouse. Can Kirk and Lindsey last another 100 episodes without killing each other?

Executive Producer: Kirk Pynchon

Producer/Engineer: Andrew Price

Theme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” Pynchon

With Lindsey on vacation in Costa Rica, the show nabs one of the hardest guests to get in the history of podcasts, with none other than Kirk’s daughter Lily gracing the show with her presence to talk about chicken nuggets. Lily is an absolute nugget expert (just ask her), and she’s here this week to do two things: drop some nugget knowledge and nosh on some nug nugs. The two discuss which sauce is the ONLY sauce you should get with your nuggets, are they better than chickie tendies, where do they rank in the canon of fast food, at what age should you stop eating chicken nuggets, and, most importantly, does Tayler Swift eat chicken nuggets. The two then road trip it to five different fast food joints to determine who has the tastiest nuggets (which is the only way Kirk could convince Lily to actually do the podcast).

(That is, until the two try a bacon dish that is so bad that it nearly makes them lose faith.)

It’s the first episode of the new year and, of course, Lindsey is on vacation. So Kirk has brought in his teenage son, Theodore, to speak on the most basic (and most comforting?) of foods…the chicken tender. They talk best dipping sauce, worst dipping sauce, how do tenders compare to chicken nuggets, what age should you stop ordering chicken tenders, and debate whether “strips”, “fingers”, and “tenders” are the exact same thing or not. The two then road trip it to SIX different fast food joints to determine who has the best chickie tendies around. (Chickie tendies is a thing…deal with it.)

It’s a rehash of old arguments that still won’t die, as well as a teaser of what’s to come in season three. Happy new year!!!

Theme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” Pynchon

With Lindsey off this week, regular guest and multi-hyphenate/triple threat Jackie Brubaker joins this episode of Food Fight! to discuss Hungarian and Polish food! And, shockingly, for an episode that doesn’t have Lindsey in it, there is a lot of weirdness in this one. Topics include: is there a more comforting food than a pierogi, why is there so much damn paprika in Hungarian and Polish food, the joy of eating (and saying) beef stroganoff, stuffed cabbage vs. stuffed peppers, would you eat raw minced meat topped with a raw egg (aka, steak tartare), would you eat sweet cherry soup if the world depended on it, the phallic shape of kielbasa, Jackie’s past life as a child in the 1940s, and Kirk eats the worst pickle in the history of pickles. Like we said…it’s a weird one.

Theme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” Pynchon

If you think rice is boring, then you are doing rice WRONG. Kirk and Lindsey take this week’s episode to sing the praises of rice, the oldest known food that is still widely consumed today. They debate where rice falls in the pecking order of carbs, white rice vs. brown rice, Mexican vs. fried, does risotto really feel like rice, can sushi rice be eaten without sushi, which rice is sadder — pilaf or wild, and, for reasons unknown, the two spend much of the episode doing theatre tongue twisters like the theatre nerds that they are.

Not only that, but this week’s show was all his idea, as Kirk and Theo are talking fast food chicken sandwiches. (So if you hate this episode…blame Theo.) The two go on a fast food chicken sandwich tour, visiting (and eating…and judging) five chains known for their fried chicken sandwiches. Which one is the best, which one is the worst, how awful will they feel afterwards, and why does every fast food chicken sandwich need friggin’ mayo?

It’s Thanksgiving time…the foodiest and fightingest time of the year! (Yes, we are saying those are actual words.) But rather than argue about traditional Thanksgiving foods (which they did last year - episode #37), Kirk and Lindsey have decided that this year they’ll debate the merits of the more bizarre Thanksgiving dishes, as well as odd Thanksgiving-flavored foods. So, they’re talking piecakens, Hot Cheetos turkey, frog eye salad (yes, it’s a thing), green bean casserole bites, Thanksgiving ice cream, Thanksgiving potato chips, Thanksgiving candy corn, and even Thanksgiving soda. Yeah, it gets weird, soooo…Happy Thanksgiving?

Description: When it comes to chocolate, Lindsey is a little on the snobby side. As for Kirk, well, let’s just say he’s…easy? So there are A LOT of hot takes from these two when it comes to talking about pure, unadulterated chocolate. They debate milk vs. white vs. dark, is mint chocolate underrated, is caramel chocolate overrated, how good is Dove chocolate, how crappy is Hershey, what’s the best fruit to cover with chocolate (hint: it’s not orange), and then Lindsey shares how psychedelic mushrooms and chocolate are really the best combo out there!

What The Hell Is Cardamom? w/Jackie Brubaker

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Spices are confusing. What defines a spice? How do you use them? Which spice goes with which food? Honestly, Kirk and Lindsey have no idea, so they’ve brought back podcaster, author, home cooker, home baker, and all-around multi-hyphenate Jackie Brubaker to figure this whole spice thing out. The three talk about which spices they always use, ones they never use, how using too many spices is like you’re pretending to cook, why cumin is underrated, why paprika is dumb, and what the hell is cardamom and why is it so damn popular? Oh, and most importantly, all three declare which Spice Girl they would be. That’s the big takeaway here.

Kirk & Lindsey Get RAW

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 07:12:12 -0000

For this very “special” (aka, “ridiculous”) episode, Kirk and Lindsey went on a three-day raw food diet, where they ate nothing but raw fruits, raw vegetables, and raw nuts…for all of their meals…for 72 hours. NOTHING ELSE. Why? We’re not sure. But they did and they are here to talk about what it was like, what they ate, how they felt, was it worth it, what did they miss most, would they do it again, and just how much farting went on for those three days.

Filipino Food: Come For The Pork…Stay For More Pork!

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 11:01:55 -0000

As mentioned MANY times on the show, neither Kirk nor Lindsey are food experts. And nowhere is that more apparent than on this week’s episode, where they talk about Filipino food. When it comes to the food of the Philippines, Kirk is super basic and Lindsey…well…Lindsey tries. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t enjoy it, cause Filipino food is tasty AF. So Kirk and Lindsey take a dive (albeit a shallow one) into the underrated Asian cuisine, discussing why it’s so hard to find, what the deal is with banana ketchup, how lumpia is better than egg rolls, are Filipino desserts sweeter than Western desserts, the genius of garlic rice, is the fast food chain Jollibee really all that, and why won’t Lindsey ever order chicken adobo?

Sourdough Bread Is A Fickle B**ch w/Carlos Perez

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 09:40:00 -0000

While Lindsey is on vacation doing…Lindsey things…Kirk decides to have his old friend Carlos Perez (from the Peruvian episode) over to school Kirk on the art of making homemade sourdough bread. Full transparency: Carlos tried to teach Kirk the fine art of sourdough bread-making months ago, even going so far as to give him some of his precious mother dough, but Kirk f’ed it up so bad that he had to throw it away (which is an actual crime in the eyes of many). But this time Carlos is here to right the ship, and they not only actually make sourdough bread on the episode, they talk about the process, offer tips and hacks, do’s and don’ts, debate what should and shouldn’t go on a slice of sourdough bread, the proper way to cut it, and, of course, just go completely HAM on a freshly baked loaf.

The weather’s changing (it actually rained in L.A. — wut?), and with the cooler temps, it’s time to talk soup. Neither Kirk nor Lindsey eat soup on the regular, but when they do they both want A LOT of s**t in it. (Their words.) The two debate the differences between stew and soup, is soup better as a dinner or as lunch, are ramen and pho actually soup or are they something else completely, is Souplantation worth it, the genius of soup in a bread bowl, and has there ever been a canned soup worth consuming?

20 episodes ago, Kirk and Lindsey did their first fine dining food auction. It failed. 10 episodes ago, they did their second fine dining food auction. It was…meh. Now, despite multiple protests from Lindsey, the two are doing ONE MORE auction to see who can come up with the best seven-course, fine dining menu. Who will win? Will they get it right this time?

Pot Luck Dinner and Slumber Party Stomach w/Kelly Wallace-Barnhill

It’s time for the first ever Food Fight Pot Luck Dinner! Kirk invites not only Lindsey over for dinner, but also friend of the podcast and frequent guest, Kelly Wallace-Barnhill! And not only do they feast on tons of yummy pot luck food (SO MUCH FOOD), the three dive deep into the social aspects of pot luck dinners, debating such topics as: Are random pot lucks better than themed? Is it okay to bring something not homemade? Can pot lucks be too competitive? How rude is it to actually cook your pot luck item at the host’s house? Can you keep bringing the same food to every pot luck? And, after all that eating (SO MUCH EATING), Kirk explains the concept of “Slumber Party Stomach.” Yes, that is the scientific terminology.

Did you know that there is an actual fear of cooking? It’s called mageirocophobia, and while Kirk and Lindsey don’t have it, they certainly are not the most prolific when it comes to home cooking. That’s why they brought on podcaster, Youtuber, author, and home-cooking expert Jackie Brubaker to talk about it! The three discuss when is home cooking NOT home cooking, is it stressful or relaxing, what’s the hardest thing to make, what’s the easiest, expectations vs. reality when it comes to home cooking, is grilling considered cooking, and, since Jackie used to own a cupcake shop — and was on ‘Cupcake Wars’ — Kirk dives deep (yet again) into why cupcakes are the worst.

These Foods Belong In ‘Food Jail’

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 10:08:41 -0000

Kirk and Lindsey judge food a little bit on Food Fight. Okay…A LOT. So, the two have just decided to lean into it for this episode and they’re putting on their black robes, picking up their gavels, and deciding which foods belong in “food jail.” Some of these foods are straight-up guilty (well-done steak), some are completely innocent (cilantro), and some have been falsely accused (cereal with no milk). Which foods will get pardoned, which ones will get life, and which ones will Kirk and Lindsey have to bust out of prison?

Cuban Food: “I Want To Hurt From The Garlic”

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 07:46:43 -0000

Cuban food rules. And even though Kirk and Lindsey don’t eat Cuban food often, that doesn’t stop them from having hot takes about it. The two debate plantains vs. yucca, would they eat a Cubano sandwich from a non-Cuban place, the best way to eat black beans and rice, is rum overrated, the greatness of guava & cheese strudels and how shameful it is that Lindsey doesn’t like them, and why Kirk hates…HATES…flan. Then for “How’s It Taste?“, Lindsey buys $80 worth of Cuban food while Kirk has to be talked off the ledge when he discovers there are onions on his sandwich de chorizo preparada.

College = Drink Beer, Eat Garbage, Rinse, Repeat

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 08:50:00 -0000

Kirk went to college at the University of New Hampshire in the late ’80s/early ‘90s. Lindsey went to college at Miami University in the early to mid 2000s. But despite their different locations and slight (SLIGHT) age difference, they both have one thing in common; they both ate like trash monsters for all four years of higher learning. So that’s what this episode is all about! The two dig into all of the glorious sadness that is college food: ramen, cup o’ noodles, microwave nachos, late-night pizza, soup and crackers, Velveeta Mac & Cheese, frozen stir fry in a bag, even…rice cakes? And, apropos of nothing, Lindsey reveals that she didn’t know burps could smell until she went to college. Honestly, it’s amazing these two even graduated.

“We’re The TOAST Of The Town!”

Wed, 18 Aug 2021 09:04:54 -0000

Blame Lindsey for the title of this week’s episode if you want, but she and Kirk are talking toast this week! The two get real as they debate how burnt is too burnt, is too toasted better than not toasted enough, best and worst breads to toast, best and worst spreads to put on toast, would they eat beans on toast, and do they really eat the last end piece of toast in the bag? Oh, and Kirk reveals a childhood trauma regarding toast that just might explain why he hates onions so much. (And, again, blame Lindsey for the title.)

Kirk Eats Chicago

Wed, 11 Aug 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Lindsey is still — STILL! — on vacation, so Kirk flies solo on this mini-episode. Where’s he flying to? Chicago! Earlier this summer Kirk visited the City of Big Shoulders, a city where he lived in his early 20s and that still holds tremendous sway with him, particularly when it comes to food. So while he was there, Kirk recorded a little travelogue/food log of every single place he ate while in Chicago. And if it seems like all he did on his vacation was eat, that’s because THAT’S ALL HE DID.

Is It Soda, Pop, Or Soda Pop?

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 07:00:00 -0000

With Lindsey on vacation, Food Fight! is visited by frequent guest host (and Kirk’s teenage son), Theo Pynchon to discuss all things soda, pop, soda pop…soft drinks? Whatever you want to call it, the two debate what food goes best with soda, what food you should NEVER drink with soda, bottle vs. can, ice vs. no ice, is Cherry Coke overrated, what are the best (and worst) fruit-flavored sodas, which weird flavored sodas would they be willing to try, and then Kirk challenges Theo to see if he can taste the difference between Coke and Pepsi AND Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi. (Note: Theo’s pretty damn cocky about this.)

Fine Dining Food Auction Part II: This Time It’s Personal

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 16:46:51 -0000

Exactly ten episodes ago, Kirk and Lindsey did a fine dining food auction to see who could create the best seven-course meal. It…did not go well. Lindsey was perfectly okay with never doing another one again. Kirk? Not so much. So, much like Hollywood giving a sequel to a movie no one asked for, they are doing it again! Will they get this fine dining food auction right this time? (Doubtful…very doubtful.)

No…Seriously…What Would You Do For A Klondike Bar?

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 10:30:57 -0000

We are waist-deep into summer right now, and things are mind-numbingly HOT. So why not cool off with some ice cream truck treats? That’s what Kirk and Lindsey are doing, so join them as the debate what’s the best flavor of popsicle (spoiler: it’s not grape), ice cream sandwiches vs. ice cream on a stick, bomb pops vs. firecracker pops, what’s harder on your teeth — chocolate chip cookie sandwich or chocolate frozen banana, why are cartoon-character ice cream treats so janky-looking, are Snickers ice cream bars the greatest invention ever, and Kirk makes Lindsey cringe (more so than usual) when he takes a bite out of his favorite ice cream truck treat from his childhood.

Is Matcha Green Tea Flavor The New Pumpkin Spice?

Wed, 14 Jul 2021 10:40:05 -0000

Matcha has been around forever but in the past five or six years it’s really become a big trend, and it seems like any food that can be made is now made with matcha green tea. It’s like pumpkin-spice’s underrated, alternative little sister. So for this episode, Kirk and Lindsey are talking ALL the things that are made with matcha, are they good, are they worth it, which matcha green tea foods are delightful, which are straight trash, and has matcha green tea-flavored food, like it’s basic older sister pumpkin spice, gotten completely out of control?

Some Food Duos Are Relationship Goals…Others Need To Breakup NOW

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 08:36:48 -0000

There are foods that have a meet cute, fall in love, and stay together forever (chocolate and mint). Other foods seem like a nice couple until you realize they should have never hooked up in the first place (burgers and potato chips). And still others food duos are just a straight-up booty call (Brussel sprouts and bacon). Yup, on this episode, Kirk and Lindsey take it to another level and talk about food dating, specially, which food duos were meant to be together, which food duos could use some couples’ therapy, and which food duos should just have swiped left on each other.
