Does Everything This Holiday Season Have To Have Peppermint In It? Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

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.

If You Drink Sparkling Water…Then You Fancy Dec 14, 2022

Show notes

When it comes to water, who doesn’t want sparkling water over flat? No one, that’s who. In this episode, Kirk and Lindsey are talking about all things sparkling water and, boy, do they drink that topic up. They discuss ice or no ice, fruit wedge or no fruit wedge, underrated and overrated flavors, and which brands are awesome and which are just trying too hard. Then the two play the La Croix Elimination Game to see which La Croix flavor will be left standing. And, for the first time in Food Fight! history, Kirk and Lindsey burp on air…YOU’RE WELCOME.

“This Grilled Cheese Has Too Much Cheese.” - Said No One Ever Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

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) Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

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) Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

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? Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

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 Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

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 Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

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! Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

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) Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

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”?
