Hungry In Kentucky

Hello, ya little strawmelons! On episode 135 of HINKY, we have a rather long discussion about leftover storage and fad diets. We also run down the list of America's favorite fast food restaurants and number 1 will blow your mind! We try some rather savory snacks in Everybody Tries, and Sara continues the trend of cereal stories in the HINKY History Lesson. What else do we get into? Follow us where...

Hello, ya little sour tangy pickles! On episode 134 of HINKY, we have a lot to say about Prime Day for some reason, and that leads into a philosophical conversation about local food-themed events. We also talk about some of the places we went this week and Carrie has some sus thoughts about wings from a regional wing spot. We finally make it through the snacks that Sara bought at the beginning of...

Hello, ya little Fig Newtons! On episode 133 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara try to think of patriotic songs to start the show. Then there's a lengthy conversation about wings and that leads into what we ate this past week. We have another Snack Crate box to try from Czechia (or Czech Republic, or Czechoslovakia, but NOT Czechnia) and we get a little slap-happy during the process. Finally, Sara tells us...

Hello ya little refreshers! On episode 132 of HINKY, it's hot. Like, really hot outside. And you all know how we feel about heat. Carrie and Sara discuss all the different heat-related songs and how Sublime songs are actually quite dark, even though they sound all upbeat and nice. Sara recaps the food she ate on a recent trip to Portland, Oregon (with an interesting price comparison) and Carrie go...

Hello ya little mangoes! In episode 131 of HINKY, Sara gets caught in a storm and one of the flowers in Carrie's yard is decimated by a rogue gutter spout (RIP). We talk about some of the places we ate at this week and Sara gets so excited she chokes (unless that got cut out, so in that case, it never happened). We find out that an iconic ice cream flavor is going extinct, but we help to ease the...

Hello, ya little stroopwafels! On episode 130 of HINKY, we get into the nitty-gritty of the Red Lobster bankruptcy saga. We also talk about some local and non-local cuisines that we tried over the weekend, and Carrie finds out that people really DO frequent The Summit! Sara accidentally orders another Snack Crate box and struggles to pronounce Dutch words, and Carrie tells us about the history of...

Hello, ya tiny little cans! On episode 129 of HINKY, we're melting from the sudden onset of heat. Sara hates heat and summer and the sun, and it may be starting to get to Carrie too. We talk about the newest restaurant that we've been to in a fast-growing area of town, and we wish there were more tapas places in this town. We try some very on-the-nose-tasting snacks in Everybody Tries, and Sara te...

Hello ya little poppers! On episode 128 of HINKY, Carrie fears that Sara's car is being stolen in broad daylight (spoiler: it wasn't). After that mystery is solved, we talk about something random, as usual, then we talk about the new restaurants we tried recently. Sara shares an article about some of the tastiest-looking foods from the Simpsons, and then we try some GBS-related snacks in Everybody...

Hello, ya little chocolate-glazed donuts! On episode 127 of HINKY, we survived the apocalypse - sorry, I meant to say the eclipse - and we find out about some other special food releases besides those pesky Sun Chips. We each had our own separate food adventures over the past couple of weeks that were both pretty fun, and we talk about places we might wanna visit in the future. We try some snacks...

Hello ya little Cadbury bunnies! On episode 126 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara talk for (probably) too long about the Lexington Cemetery, even though it has nothing to do with food. Although I do suppose you could maybe have a picnic there... Anyway, we also chat about our latest food journeys, and Sara has been doing the Lord's work trying some of the newer fast food items on the market. We try a new...

Hello, ya little sasporillas!

They also talk about the different places they ate this week, and there's a borderline infuriating article about what not to eat at Red Lobster. We try some meaty-tasting Pringles and the new Space Dust Oreos in Everybody Tries, and Carrie tells us the histo...

Hello ya little Dinamitas! On episode 123 of HINKY, it's Fat Tuesday! We talk about Lent and how to navigate the season, and we talk about some of our food adventures from the week. We hear about some Mardi Gras facts and about the new menu items at Taco Bell (cause Sara loves it so). We try the world-famous king cake and a Super Bowl-advertised snack in Everybody Tries, and then we find out the h...

Hello, ya little onion nuggets! On episode 122 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara lament the dreary weather outside, but their moods brighten up as the show goes on. We talk about going to a restaurant that Carrie's never been to before, and we find out the most popular fast food chain based on customer satisfaction (you'll be surprised by the answer)! We try some pretzels and Oreos in Everybody Tries, and...

Hello, ya little nuts! On episode 121 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara talk about the first snow of 2024 and Carrie has a wild take on cold weather. We talk about the two new restaurants we tried over the weekend, both of which are local and delicious. Plus, the UK Men's Basketball team was spotted eating at one of these spots, so there's that! We talk about the food trends for 2024 (some seem normal, bu...

Hello, ya little Spindrifts! On episode 120 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara welcome a guest!

We recap the holidays and do a deep dive on the full English breakfast, and we learn about the history of French fries for the HINKY History Lesson. Do you li...

Hello, ya little Plopps! On episode 109 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara have a lot of catching up to do! Sara talks about her recent trip to California, and Carrie talks about her overnight stay in Louisville. Both trips involved good food, so you know we had to talk about it! And for Everybody Tries, we have a special holiday box from Snack Crate with Christmas and Hannukah-themed treats from all over...

Hello, ya little Milk Duds! On episode 118 of HINKY, Sara and Carrie chat up top and then get onto the topic of castle lore in Lexington. You may know it now as a fancy hotel and restaurant, but that hasn't always been the case! We also recap Sara's birthday dinners and the other places that we've at this past week. It's finally (kinda) cold outside, so we thought we'd let you know about the best...

Hello, ya little sugar plums! On episode 117 of HINKY, it's Sara's birthday! We talk about birthday traditions and memories, and we have a bonus history about the Happy Birthday song. We've been saving room in our bellies for Thanksgiving, so we didn't get to a lot of restaurants, but we make up for it by going through a controversial list of Thanksgiving sides from delish.com. We try some Starbuc...

Hello, ya little truffles! On episode 116 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara wax poetic about the time change (is this daylight savings time, we don't know!) and they place bets on what the weather will be on Sara's birthday.

On episode 115 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara dive on into their latest experience at a local Korean restaurant, and then they recap all the other tasty foods they've had over the past couple of weeks.

Hello, ya sweet little onions! On episode 114 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara rant about concert tickets (and it's not the rant you're thinking of, btw), and Carrie learns a new fact about Sara that she didn't know before. We recap our outing to a local Japanese restaurant, and we talk about the other things we ate over the past couple of weeks as well. It's officially feeling like fall, so all the snac...

Hello ya little bananas! On episode 113 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara had a big ol' Tuesday night at the Cheesecake Factory! We recap Carrie's first trip to the Lexington location, even though it's been here for 10ish years. Don't worry - Sara tried a bunch of local restaurants to balance out all the corporate cheesecake. We talked about our go-to Starbucks drinks, and we have another SnackCrate box (...

Hello, ya little mysteries! On episode 112 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara recap their weeks before getting into some fall food talk.
