"It's kind of like you're having like a little pilgrim meal." - KateBob, Kate, and Matt, discuss a wide variety of food-related topics. We begin by sharing our recent meals, including pizza from Donatos and an extended conversation about wings from various restaurants like Roosters and Buffalo Wild Wings.
A significant portion of the discussion focuses on Indian cuisine, with Bob describing a recent, somewhat challenging experience at a restaurant called Bawarchi Biryani and debating the merits of dishes like biryani and samosas. We share favorite vegetarian options, including a shout-out to the website shelikesfood.com.
We also spend time tasting and reviewing new product flavors, such as Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry and Peanut Butter and Jelly M&M's, before closing with a philosophical discussion on historic eating habits and the feasibility of a vegetarian or vegan diet.

"That tasted like a new toothbrush when you first put a new plastic toothbrush in your mouth." - Brandi
This time with special guests, Tammy and Brandi!
Bob and the guests discuss recent food experiences, including Bob's trip to the reopened Hunan Lion Chinese restaurant, which he disliked despite the good fried rice. Tammy recounts a poor experience at Supreme Chinese Buffet and a positive visit to a new Mexican place on Broadway near Grove City.
The episode includes a taste test of new sweets, starting with cherry Jolly Rancher Stuffed Puffs and Raindrops Gummy Grapes, neither of which were popular. We also review baked goods: a homemade pumpkin spice bagel by Mom and various donuts from KKP Bakery in Grove City, which Tammy highly recommends, especially the stick donut.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to nostalgia. We reminisce about school lunches, fondly remembering the "hot pack spaghetti" (iykyk) and sugar cookies from elementary school and quality food from high school in the '90s, while critiquing the current state of school meals (citing things like a muffin, cheese stick, and yogurt, or 700-calorie uncrustables).
We also discuss local restaurants that have gone out of business, such as Mr. Philly and Green Gables, and nostalgic places that are still operating, like Schmidt's and Spaghetti Warehouse. The episode ends with a brief discussion on "grief food," such as Hostess orange cupcakes.
This episode of the See Food Diet Podcast features hosts Bob, Kate, and guest Vanessa, diving into a massive array of food reviews and cultural trends - like we do.
High-End Dining and Grocery Review:The episode features an extensive review of an Omakase tasting experience at HARU near Polaris, in Columbus, detailing high-end dishes like Wagyu, fatty tuna, and a unique Japanese taco featuring barbecue eel. This luxury is contrasted with the "bougie" experience at Dorothy Lane Market (a Dayton-area locally-owned grocery store), where they recount the absurdity of the $36 parmesan-crusted chicken breasts and review items like a Turkey Reuben sandwich and chocolate cake.
Product Tastings and Fast Food Frenzy:The hosts conduct an in-studio tasting of Burger King's spooky menu, which includes the violently orange jack-o'-lantern burger, monster mozz sticks, and the surprisingly popular monster sundae (complete with Pop Rocks and Oreo crumbles). They also review experimental beverages, such as Vita Coco orange dreamsicle and Califia Farms piña colada drinks, and conduct a blind test of Floura high-fiber bars (created by the founder of Jeni's Ice Cream), identifying unique flavors like Brambleberry Lavender and Blueberry Matcha.
Home Cooking and Viral Trends:Home cooking adventures are recounted, including failed attempts at knockoff Crunchwraps requiring a "cheese plug", and the creation of an unexpectedly thick, nougat-like chia pudding (thickened with cottage cheese). They also discuss viral food phenomena, specifically the global trend of Pudding mit Gabel (eating pudding with a fork), and try to identify the licorice-flavored herb in Pho (concluding it is likely Tarragon, but it probably Thai Basil).
Culture and Competition:Non-food topics include an analysis of the intense reality competition show Love Island Games, discussing dramatic contestants like Garbi and a serious on-set injury involving a medicine ball. The episode concludes with a challenge to create a Harry Potter sorting treat to assign the hosts their houses.
"I want a shirt that says soup freak." - Kate
Bob, Kate, and Matt, (and Charlie Tacos!) talk about food experiences and reviews from the past week, including visits to Fiery Sky Asian Kitchen and The Old Mohawk restaurant, where they sample various dishes and drinks. Topics range from the surprising sweetness of a salted egg appetizer to the debate over whether the Old Mohawk's turtle soup contains actual turtle meat. The hosts also briefly discuss AI-generated food content on platforms like TikTok, with a focus on its nonsensical and often disgusting nature, before concluding with general conversation about pop culture and personal updates.
"It's full of dolphins, but no mercury." - Bob
Bob, Kate, and Matt discuss their recent food-related experiences and general life updates. The majority of the conversation revolves around meals and desserts, including a review of Mark Pi's almond boneless chicken and a sushi restaurant called Song Lan, which earns an "eight" rating on the "eat it scale." They also offer extensive reviews of a white cake and assorted cupcakes from Valerie Farm Bakery, noting the exceptional quality of the buttercream frosting. Additionally, the episode touches upon Matt's first experience with tuna salad, a discussion of fast-food loyalty programs, and a "beef" between country artists Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock. The hosts conclude with a tasting of Austin Pretzel Co. butter toffee pretzels and an update on their participation in a music league.

The episode kicks off with Nila sharing her sparkly box-mix cupcakes with strawberry Pop-Tarts and Kate confessing to a summer diet of "garbage" food. They discuss Matt's TikTok share of fried fish, which Bob humorously deemed "trash". Kate also shares her ongoing hunt for illusive Littleton pastries and her attempt to find an alternative at Juice Time, which offered an overwhelming "Cheesecake Factory level" menu of juices and sweet treats that looked good but lacked flavor depth, leading to a confusing order experience.

The episode takes a wild turn with a snack tasting session from Rocket Fizz:

"It's back. It's better than ever." KateThe "Seafood Diet Podcast" hosts Bob, Kate, and Matt return for their second season, immediately engaging in a lively discussion about various food experiences. They share personal opinions on fast-food chains like Little Caesars and Freddy's, debating the quality of specific items like their chicken sandwiches. The conversation covers unique food finds, such as viral fruit-shaped ice creams from Asian markets and offerings from popular travel stops like Buc-ee's, along with reviews of local restaurants.

"I ate like a quarter of a huge watermelon in like 5 minutes. And then went back to my room. And everyone was like, 'Where'd you go?' I was like, 'Oh, yeah. I threw up.'" - NilaWelcome to the latest See Food Diet Podcast with hosts Bob, and Kate, and special guest Nila. This episode comes with a major announcement: this Memorial Day installment is the Season One finale, as the podcast is taking a summer break until mid-to-late July !
Host Matt is away, busy coaching baseball. While they're on hiatus, they suggest revisiting older episodes or perhaps inviting them over for a meal.
The week's personal eats were mostly routine, but Bob gave a glowing review to delicious #Qdoba carnitas, praising their lack of fat. This sparked a discussion about other meats like Chipotle's limited-edition carne asada and the frustration of food getting stuck in your teeth, citing barbacoa, birria, and pot roast.
A recent excursion to the picturesque but pricey and self-checkout-based Copia Farms led to unique purchases, including frozen roast, duck eggs, and kefir. Bob found unexpected joy in peanut butter chocolate chip cookies despite others' less enthusiastic reviews, while contemplating, but ultimately passing on, an $18 pint of ice cream. Copia is also a source for great pickle sauerkraut.
Other food highlights included shout outs to Native Cold Pressed for their amazing Pineapple Upside Down Cake protein balls, a favorite despite general protein bar dislike. They also sampled delicious Wagu Brasola from Foris, described as a peppery, beefy alternative to prosciutto, and praised a tasty Caprese sausage. The hosts lamented the disappearance of their favorite sourdough bread from Littleton's.
The episode featured some memorable taste tests. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups with Jelly (strawberry and grape) were deemed a failure, offering minimal flavor impact and tasting artificially. The consensus? Stick to a Native protein ball or a real PB&J. Various Kit Kat flavors received criticism for a waxy texture. The highlight (or lowlight) was the Fresh Fizz organic Date Cola, which evoked descriptions like smoke, frankincense, myrrh, or "first Christmas soda".
The conversation then dove deep into cookout and BBQ food. Top choices included hot dogs and brats. Sides like baked beans, potato salad, and macaroni salad were popular picks. Strong opinions were shared on mayo-based pasta salads. Desired cookout items included fruits, dips, chips, cheese cubes, and avocado salsa. Desserts sparked debate, from fruit pizza (loved by Bob, hated by Kate) to Rice Krispies treats and Texas sheet cake. Nila's upcoming graduation party prompted a discussion on giant party subs, though her party will feature Qdoba catering and Walmart cake instead.
They briefly touched on summer-only treats like Rainbow Twizzlers and a past incident of overeating watermelon in Norway. A quick note on the recent Eurovision contest highlighted potential political voting. Germany received praise for currywurst, contrasting sharply with the discussion of disgusting-looking Footy Scran (British stadium food) seen on TikTok.
