We see food, we eat it, and then we talk about it. Bob, Kate, and Matt tell you what's in their mouths and on their minds in this weekly podcast about food in Columbus, Ohio and beyond. It's that part of the cookout after everyone's eaten and now you're talking about eating.

Donuts and Nostalgia

"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.
