PodFast FoodCast

We're headed back to Burger King to review their new Mozzarella Fries. Now you might be thinking, "hasn't Burger King been making mozzarella sticks for years?" Yes, they have, but these are "fries" not "sticks" and that makes them different. "Good" different? We'll be the judge of that. Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabay bur...

Summer may be upon us, but this week's episode of the PodFast FoodCast is frozen solid! Get out your parkas because we're reviewing the Dairy Queen Blizzard Treats.

Shhhh! Keep this episode on the down low. We reviewed Taco Bell's new Secret Aardvark Nacho Fries, and we're trying to keep it under wraps. Don't let this episode get out into the wild. This one is for the heat seekers. Heat seekers = welcome; Hot Ones = not invited. Don't let Sean Evans hear this one under any circumstance. Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from...

The PodFast FoodCast is headed down to the bayou to feast on some Cajun cuisine! Well, not really, but we got the next best thing: McDonald's. Specifically, their new limited time menu item, the Bacon Cajun Ranch McCrispy. They injected the regular McCrispy with a healthy dose of Mardi Gras, swamp, and Drew Brees. How does it stack up? We'll let you be the judge. Intro/Outro Music: "Fo...

With the Starch Madness tournament in the rear-view mirror, we are now back with our regularly scheduled programming. What better way to kick things off then with a brand new (to us) chain restaurant: CoreLife Eatery! You read that right - an InterCapped name, just like the PodFast FoodCast. This week, we put our biases aside, and got right down to business as usual. The PFFC you know and love is...

And now, the end is near, and so the PodFast FoodCast faces it's final tater(s). This week, we start things off by wrapping up the first round with a match-up between KFC's mashed potatoes and the Mr. Hero Loaded Tots. But that's not all - we then make our way through the rest of the bracket before declaring the 2024 Starch Madness Champion! And we did it our way. Intro music: "The...

As Starch Madness enters it's third week of competition, March Madness finally begins. So despite this episode being ripe with basketball talk, we still found time to declare a victor in this weeks potato match up. The Taco Bell Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes went up against Swensons Potato Teezers. Which starchy snack reigns supreme? How badly will our brackets get busted? Will we remember to declare...

Starch Madness rolls on with another heated battle, this time between two baked potato dishes. We've got the Bacon & Cheese Baked Potato from Wendy's pitted against the Cheddar Baked Potato Soup from Bob Evans. Who's got the better bake? We'll be the judge of that. This episode also features musings on BBQ sauce quality, NBA player Otto Porter Jr., and the films of Denis Villen...

It's time to bring down the patriarchy. The Burger King is dead, long live the Dairy Queen. This week on the PodFast FoodCast: the DQ Chicken Strip Basket. But wait - that doesn't make any sense, Dairy Queen serves ice cream, not baskets of chicken. WRONG. We went to our local DQ Grill & Chill and they showered us in chicken strips. Long live The Queen indeed. Intro/Outro Music: "F...

Another week, another podcast. This time, we're taking a look at the BRAND NEW Sidekicks from Subway. What's a Sidekick, you may ask? It's a foot long snack, that's what.

Ho, ho, ho! This year, Santa came early, and he brought the latest edition of the PodFast FoodCast. To bring the second season of the PFFC to a close we went to McDonald's and got our hands on their Holiday Pies. Do these handheld sugar bombs prove to be a fitting conclusion to 2023? There's only one way to find out. We want to thank you for listening to the PFFC. We'll be back with br...

Ghosts, goblins, and ghouls have invaded the PodFast FoodCast - it's time for our spookiest episode yet! Well, we don't actually talk about tricks, treats, scares, or frights on this one... but it's implied! Steven and Ryan went to the Bell and reviewed their new Steak and Bacon Grilled Cheese Burrito. It scared (one of) us senseless, that's for sure! Intro/Outro Music: "For Fo...

This week on the PodFast FoodCast we're keeping it simple. We went to Chick-fil-A and got their chicken nuggets. We ate them, reviewed them, and then gave them a score on a 5 point scale. That's all there is to it. Relax. It's fine. Don't have a cow, man. Intro/Outro Music: "For Food" by ComaStudio from Pixabay burger pic: Emoji One, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Twi...
