Episode 143: Drop Biscuits

Episode 143

dimanche 8 mars 2026Duration 01:05:04

We've all had, if God has been good to us, a beautifully flaky, buttery, rich biscuit that's almost too good to put gravy on.

Episode 135

dimanche 2 novembre 2025Duration 50:59

Episode 45: Brownies

Episode 45

dimanche 30 juillet 2023Duration 45:54

The perfect lunchbox dessert, without which no bake sale is complete. Noah and Louisa reminisce about these fudgy squares, whose present as a no-fuss baked good would surely astonish the people who (supposedly) invented it as a fine dining treat.

Episode 44: Pulled Pork

Episode 44

dimanche 23 juillet 2023Duration 55:13

A beloved mainstay of many a summer barbecue, whether you like it with spicy vinegar, grown mustard, or that thick brown ketchup Kansas City calls barbecue sauce. Louisa discusses the importance of making an effort, while Noah tries to hang on to his faith in humanity.

Episode 43: French Toast

Episode 43

dimanche 16 juillet 2023Duration 01:01:48

Have you ever wondered why this breakfast food is associated with the French? Well, Noah and Louisa have no answers for you there—but they'll spend plenty of time talking about how to make a delicious little bread dish, and all the ways people have failed to improve upon it.

Episode 42: Fish and Chips

Episode 42

lundi 3 juillet 2023Duration 59:00

Were you expecting hot dogs? Hamburgers? Some other American food that might be appropriate for the 4th of July? What podcast did you think this was? Noah and Louisa take you back to the Eastern Hemisphere on a journey through Britain, Portugal and Japan to wax poetic about the wonders of battered cod and haddock.

Episode 41: Potato Salad

Episode 41

dimanche 25 juin 2023Duration 53:33

No summer barbecue or 4th of July cookout is complete without someone bringing a big container of this stuff. Which is interesting, because if you've ever talked to anyone about it, you quickly learn two things: 1) everyone has their own recipe, and 2) no one seems to actually like it all that much. Noah and Louisa try to figure out why.

Episode 40: Shrimp Scampi

Episode 40

dimanche 18 juin 2023Duration 55:59

There are few pleasures in life as simple as butter, garlic, and good shrimp—or so you'd think. Noah and Louisa discover that a lot of people have rather interesting ideas on how such a classic combination can be . . . well, is "improved" the right term?

Episode 39

dimanche 11 juin 2023Duration 59:03

The preferred breakfast of traitors, Popes with weird egg deficiencies, and white people getting their weekend drunk on. Noah and Louisa break down every facet of this brunch staple.
