Danny had a "blind" tasting of some Japanese Pringles-style chips. Look for the video later this week.
"blind" in quotes since we could see the chips, we just didn't know what flavors they were.
We end on a sweet note with some South American Oreo-style cookies - chocolate and white cream, Ducle de Leche Caramel, and Strawberry Cheesecake.
We have a listener line - call us! (402) YUM-FOOD (402-986-3663)

Before all that, we discuss our food experiences of the week, and some food news.
Lastly, we have a new listener feedback number. Call us! (402) 986-3663
Danny had a salad, by choice! We learn all about it in our Food Experiences of the week, where we also discuss Bryan's "sandwich" and discuss a random pepper challenge.
Bryan also brings us Oreo news with sneak peeks of 2019 varieties.
One of our listeners gave us candy to try, knowing... hoping... for a "great" reaction. We'll have video of this, too, so keep your eye out for our social media.

This episode is all about Danny, and Danny talking, and Danny in Texas. Ok, maybe not all about Danny, more like 95%. :-D

Danny bought another $75 Tiki Mug, Amy foists candy corn on her coworkers, and Bryan has a candy corn contest - that's all just in the Food Experiences of the Week.
How do Japanese fish cake (Okonomiyaki?) Pringles compare to American flavors? We answer that as we finish the last of the items from our Japan box. This leads to our further discussion of Meat, and Meat adjacent, chips.
We take a brief pause to enjoy Oreo hot cocoa, before moving on to discussing how to decide whether to go to a buffet or not. What are the evaluation criteria?

Chinese Oreos - We got them! A listener really wanted us to try the new Oreo flavors in China - Hot Chicken Wing and Wasabi - and had some shipped to us. We got them, we ate them, we even video-ed us eating them.
Then we continued on with our treats from Japan sent from another listener. What a delectable and interesting array of snacks. We also have video of these treats.

Bryan and Danny got a sneak peek at August's Blizzard of the Month! We also hear Bryan's heartfelt tribute to Dairy Queen. Then we also try the new Limited Edition Oreos, and go to a local international store to pick up some international treats based on a tip from listener Heather. That somehow leads us to discuss Danny's dessert strategy again based on a recent buffet outing.
These week st start with breakfast talk.

- Danny has a Monte Cristo

In Food Experiences this week Bryan has a grievance related to string cheese, Amy eats a Cheeseburger Wich from Which Wich, Danny was gifted a Bag of Dicks (Van Dyke, Clark, Patton, etc... :-P - not really) and went on a search for Nashville Hot Chicken Pringles.

We start off with some food confessions. Find out our dirty little food secrets. :-D We did find the Cereal Milk we talked about last week and gave that a whirl. When we try to move on to Oreos, Danny pulls us back to Cereal Milk, much to his detriment. We do talk about those international Oreos, and then end with Pop Tarts - buttered vs not, toasted vs not, and every combination thereof.
Yes, you saw that right Packing Peanuts. And yes, we ate them. Some of us ate more than others.
Bryan reads us the foods in Buzzfeed's "16 Really Weird Versions of Food That Make You Say Gross or Yum" and we give our "yay" or "nay'.

We start talking about Easter candy this week and learn that frozen Cadbury Creme Eggs are quite tasty. We also revisit buffets (shocking, right?), talk about the doneness of meat, and discuss what NOT to put on buffets. Bryan and Danny close with a plea to consult them before you buffet, and to perhaps even invite them along.
It's that time of year again... Girl Scout Cookie Season! And we rejoice in it. But first, we revisit Apple Pie McFlurries and the trials and tribulations of trying to get one made for us. Then we discuss and review Girl Scout cookies and their knock-offs. (yes, there are knock-offs available :-O ), which leads us to Lofthouse cookies (aka "Crack" cookies), and we close with a post listener Meghan made to our Facebook page that leads to a discussion of Facebook recipe videos, in general.
This week we discuss so many things.

3) Spicy Skittles

Along the way, Danny realizes why we have an Explicit rating, we question if Danny really is Bryan's food soulmate, and talk about pineapple on pizza.
A listener "came at" us/Danny about Pringles. Danny doesn't think they are potato chips and a spirited discussion ensued amongst us. We then talked about the a $60 buffet and Danny's disappointment in a friend/fan not following the "rules". We close with Food Challenges past and future.
This week we review Salted Caramel Pepsi, discuss the new Oreo flavor, the Oreo of the Month club, Nestle selling their US candy operations, and sparkling water. Along the way we ask "What flavored soda pop do you like?" and also take a detour into dessert bars.
This week we discuss January's Blizzard of the Month (BOM), Danny's coffee, circle back to the BOM (where you'll learn the "secret weapon" to make good blizzards), meat chips and answer a listener question about buffets on a budget.
We review the newly released limited edition Oreos and then transition into strategies for tackling desserts at a buffet. Along the way we also talk about favorite and least favorite desserts, killer cake, and indefensible lemon bars.
We briefly revisit Oreos based on listener feedback, then get into a full discussion of New Year's resolutions and healthy eating tips. We learn about how make cookies "healthy" and the evils of soda pop. We also discuss a return to bacon normalcy and what not to do in front of my salad.
We review the Blizzard of the Month for Dec 2017, then discuss the newly announced Oreo flavors for 2018, and then delve into a discussion of past Oreo flavors. We answer questions such as "Is lard still used in Oreos?", "Is there a point to Golden Oreos?", "Does portion controlling as kids translate to healthy eating as adults?" and "Why does this podcast exist". Yes, that's right, we talk about the origins of this podcast. (Oooohhhh…) We wrap up with a listener question about foods we won't eat.
We 1) briefly talk about a seasonal sandwich, then 2) discuss pizza... a lot, so much so that you're going to want to eat pizza, and then 3) close with a listener question about cereal.
This week we discuss all kinds of holiday foods from Oreo candy canes to jelly beans to peeps to krumkaka. We even talk turkey!
Bryan and Danny discuss their recent food experiences including:
1) Buffets - is food touching food OK? is layering food OK? and what exactly are hash browns.
2) Blizzards - killing the Cheesequake, and asking do you like sprinkles? do you like peanuts?
3) Hot Chocolate and the legal definition of chocolate
4) Mac & Cheese
