Show notes

On this installment of Food Court with Richard Blais podcaster and journalist Robert Evans (Behind the Bastards, After the Revolution) goes up against longtime friend and collaborator, podcaster and rapper Propaganda (Hood Politics, Red Couch Podcast, Behind the Insurrections) in a case to determine whether or not butter is nasty or tasty. Is it a miracle or a curse? This one is a doozy!

Prop's new book Terraform: Build A Better World is on shelves now!

**NOTE** Apologies for Richard's audio- he had to record this one on the go while doing Top Chef promos so there is a bit more echo than usual

Pancakes vs. Waffles Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

This week in the Food Court with Richard Blais two comedians (and supposed friends), Atsuko Okatsuka and Danielle Perez, go head to head in a no-holds-barred fight between pancakes and waffles. These two are not afraid to make it personal and make us all laugh.

RIP Siete Mares, the amazing fish tacos place that Danielle shouted out that closed during Covid.

**NOTE** There were some technically difficulties with this one and I had to use the zoom audio sometimes so you'll hear an echo etc... as the internet connections were often laggy. I did my best and I think you can at least HEAR what they're saying. Apologies! -Producer Crystal

It's the season 2 premiere of Food Court with Richard Blais and Dan Pashman (the Sporkful) is here to tell Evan Kleiman (KCRW's Good Food), and the rest of the world, that spaghetti is the worst pasta shape but mafalde, a pasta shape few have even heard of, is the best. Last year Dan and Evan set out on a quest to create a new pasta shape and along the way Dan came to the realization that he just hates spaghetti but Evan couldn't disagree more so they had to bring this case to the Food Court and find out who's right, once and for all.
