Chinese Food with Lily Du and Jon Yao Nov 04, 2026

Show notes

Put Chinese food on screen, and it steals the scene. Comedian Lily Du and James Beard Award-winning chef Jon Yao join Chris to dig into the dumpling-making in ‘Shaolin Soccer’ and ‘Crazy Rich Asians,’ and the Peking duck in ‘A Christmas Story,’ with stops at ‘The Wedding Banquet’ and ‘Waiting for Guffman.’ Then Jon cooks a beautiful meal of squirrel fish inspired by ‘Eat Drink Man Woman,’ braised greens, and a not-so-basic fried rice.

Halloween with Zach Kornfeld and Keith Habersberger Oct 28, 2026

Show notes

Sometimes the scariest part of a Halloween movie is the food. Zach Kornfeld and Keith Habersberger of The Try Guys join Chris to unpack the midnight margaritas in ‘Practical Magic,’ popcorn in ‘Scream,’ and shrimp cocktail in ‘Beetlejuice.’ They also confess their own fears while digging into Chris’s take on popcorn and hot dogs (which looks nothing like popcorn and hot dogs).

Sexy Foods with Adam Conover Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Is there anything sexier than a food scene? Writer and comedian Adam Conover joins Chris to explore some of the most sensual moments in food movies, from the egg yolk passed between lovers in ‘Tampopo’ to the fridge-lit feast in ‘9 1/2 Weeks’ to the spaghetti kiss in ‘Lady and the Tramp.’ Then they throw a make-your-own temaki party and try to find the limit of how many hand rolls you can eat on a date before it stops being romantic.

Talking Tarantino with Chris Ryan Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Quentin Tarantino is the greatest food director of all time, full stop. Chris Ryan of The Watch joins Dave and Chris to argue the case, from the diner scenes in 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Reservoir Dogs,' to the mac and cheese in 'Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,' to the frozen margaritas that keep turning up across his movies. To fuel the conversation, Ying makes nachos in honor of 'Death Proof' and his very first 'Inglourious Basterds'-inspired strudel.

Jiggly Jello With Solid Wiggles' Jena Derman and Jack Schramm Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

Is jello boring? Is it sexy? Can it be both? Jack Schramm and Jena Derman of the cocktail jelly company Solid Wiggles join Chris in the Recipe Club clubhouse to wobble through jello's many movie cameos, from the classic 'Jurassic Park' scene to 'Airplane,' 'Wuthering Heights,' and 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' Jack and Jena also show us how to make Blue Hawaii cocktail jellies inspired by 'Blue Crush,' and Chris makes soup dumplings that are, to his disbelief, not terrible.

Joyful Food Documentaries With Morgan Neville Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

According to today's guest, Academy Award–winning documentarian Morgan Neville, there are basically two types of food documentaries: the ones about how food is killing us, and the ones about how food brings us life. Today we're (thankfully) looking at the latter ('Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers,' 'I Like Killing Flies,' and 'El Bulli: Cooking in Progress'). David Chang hadn't seen any of them before, but now happily recommends all three. We can also recommend making Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic like Chris did for this episode.

Naughty Kid Food Fantasies With Andy Hearnden Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Beloved chef Andy Hearnden (Andy Cooks) joins Chris to find out what happens when you let a bunch of kids eat whatever they want. In 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' (1971), it means a lot of candy. In 'Hook' (1991), it means turkey legs and colored goop. The boys discuss whether the movie version of Charlie Bucket is hungry enough, cook oxtail and cabbage soup, and share their most private food fantasies.

Show notes

This week we're eating in the car, on the car, and sort of near the car with the hilarious comedian and actor Sherry Cola. What's the best food to eat while driving? What's a diva cup?
