In The Weeds with Ben Randall

Ya think YOUR apartment kitchen is shitty?  Wait until you hear about Steve's! (find us @intheweedswbr on Twitter, chefbenrandall on Instagram and intheweedswbr@gmail.com . C'mon, bug us!)

Tonight we delve into the murky & disgusting world of foodborne illness, and continue speculating about the KY Deli foodtruck.

Let's decode some common food additives!  Yum Science!

So we wanted to talk about what it takes to open a restaurant, and why you should never do that silly thing.  Instead we pitch THE GREATEST RESTAURANT EVER.

This week we're joined by our good friend (and sister) Elise, to discuss everything coffee, coffeeshops & hipster.  Also, we discuss the difference between a replicator (Star Trek) and a Replicator (Stargate).

It's our long-overdue discussion of fast food, how MacDonald's ruined out agriculture and why we should not go to Mars.

In which we start out talking about owners we could have done without, and end by roasting fast food, extolling Culver's and saving 5 Hour Energy's business plan.

Tonight we get into it with the stupidest customer questions we've ever been asked.  And let's be clear; we're barely scratching the surface.

Tonight, kids, we sit down with John & John from ManBQue!  Learn all about where ManBQue comes from, where and why it started and how not to be a bitch hunter.  They're dropping their second cookbook this month! https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Street-ManBQue-Guide-Making/dp/0762458690 http://manbque.com

I've always hated them up close, but tonight we hate on servers from afar.  We've all had that memorably bad service experience; now you're gonna hear ours!  

Every family has their 'secret recipes', and sometimes they're embarrassing as fuck when you learn that other people don't eat like you do.

Camping can be SO much more than just hotdogs.  Also, hotdogs.

It's the end of an inning, not the end of the game.

Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes, well, you know.

Every so often, someone comes along who changes your course, gives you a push or offers to fight you.   But in a good way.  And when that person leaves us, it's only appropriate to take a moment and quietly raise a glass.  Good shift, Chef Tim.  Take that break.

...but they're crunchy!  (spoilers/warning, we're eating bugs today)

What can ruin your shift in a restaurant?  Nearly everything!

Tonight we tackle the Force Awakens, suggest that Episodes 1-3 be stricken from canon and in general blow JJ but good.

Space food, bitches.  Food in space

Christmas Food.  You wouldn't eat it at any other time of the year.

Today, we get the view from the groom on Steve's wedding, plus a rundown of cruiseship food.

Gettin' hitched?  Wanna eat?  Listen to this first. Plus, the best best man's speech ever.  For reals.

Tonight we're debunking 'kitchen tips & tricks' from the big stupid internet.  Short story; just try stuff.  You'll figure it out.

Ok, if you're an adult human being who plans on eating out in a restaurant, listen to this  Be better.  Have a better time.  Be a better human.

Tonight we answer a list of questions sent to us by our buddy Josh Ladd (feralcuisine.com), and because it's us, we digress into relationship advice, customer bashing and Star Trek reboot fantasizing.
