“I Don’t Eat Gluten” Is Like Saying, “I Don’t Watch TV” Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

Kirk and Lindsey aren't nutritionists. They're barely functional human beings. So take what they say with a grain of salt when it comes to their hot takes on gluten-free foods. (Wait...is salt gluten-free?)

Potatoes…No Skin…No Eat-y Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

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.

Lobster Mac & Cheese Is Fake Luxury Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

Linsey is finally back! And this week she and Kirk jump right into a heaping pile of mac and cheese, debating the best instant brands, does it need a protein in it, does it need a veggie in it, what's worse - too dry mac and cheese or too wet, shells vs. elbows vs, tubes, why does everyone get so gooey over lobster mac and cheese, and then the two trash any mac and cheese dish that is not officially just mac and cheese... staring daggers at you, mac and cheese balls.

It's Chinese New Year! So Why Are We At A Thai Food Fest? Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Happy Chinese New Year! (It's the year of the rabbit, FYI.) And what's the best way to celebrate that holiday? By going to a Thai food fest, of course! This week frequent guest and FOFF Kelly Wallace-Barnhill joins Kirk and his wife on a field trip to the Wat Thai Temple in North Hollywood, not to experience any sort of spirituality, but to literally eat their weight in yummy Thai food. Gung hay fat choy!

If Your Snack Isn’t Cheese-Flavored, It’s Not Really A Snack (with Jackie Brubaker) Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

Lindsey is still out, so Food Fight All-Star Jackie Brubaker jumps into the food fray to talk about cheese-flavored snacks. And on this episode we’re tackling the really important questions like: How cheesy does your cheese-flavored snack need to be? How orange do you want it to look? Cheetos vs Doritos? Are keto cheese crisps all that? And the most important question…Better out of the box or in a bowl?

Eating in College...a Lesson in Struggle Meals (with Theodore Pynchon) Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

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?)

It’s The End Of The Year…So F It Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

We finally made it to the end of 2022! So to honor the end of one year and the beginning of the new one, what are Kirk and Lindsey doing? They’re saying “F it. ” That’s right — the two are just gonna talk about the foods they eat when they wanna say “F it, I have had enough of this day,” or “F it, I earned this,” or even “F it, I can’t even with Kirk anymore.” The two dive into what does and doesn’t constitute F-it food, is pizza really and truly an F-it food, where to eat your F-it food, and how the more ridiculous the food, the higher the F-it quotient. And they also give a sneak peek of episodes coming in season four!
