Year of the Sandwich Podcast

In the years before KFC, Colonel Sanders ruled Hell's Half Acre with a loaded shotgun - but whatever you do, heed his wise words and "Don't eat the Gravy". The Legend of the Colonel known as 'Old Man Kentucky' still lives on, especially in Japan - with every striped bucket and Japanese 'Party Barrel'.   But what was Harland Sanders really like behind the white suit and cane?  Could he be Santa Claus?  Did he shoot a man down?  The evidence is mounting... Find out the insane history of the world's most infamous Chicken Man.  Tuck in.

It's an interview with a Veg-pire...I've had Vegan Mayo and I have survived the process.  Join me and Tapes From the Crypt, noted living Vegan, as we navigate the dangerous landscape of bread spreads.  A perilous journey through Internet Scams and Un-Refrigerated Spreads - but thanks to Critical Egg Theory, the lads may never be told of the real truth.   Even the great Worchestershire Sauce is looking rather suspicious...@yearofthe.sandwich

When you follow the Mayo money – it takes you straight to a rotten yolk.  Will the Eggmen rise again, or will the Veganists have their day? This is the legend of a plant-based Weapon of Mass Egg-struction.    A table side deathmatch with spreadable results...the very Genesis of Vegan Mayo.   But remember,  young one, the Eggs must flow.     Tuck in.@yearofthe.sandwich

Hot Dog's aren't Sandwiches, not in America - not anywhere.  But, if you are clever - there is a loophole.  Take them down across the border and into Mexico.  Smuggle them in the tasty bread of a Torta - the Mexican Lunch Staple of the Ages - and if all goes well, then you just may have a real sandwich citizen.Join me and KyleMan as he returns to help tackle the first taste of two Amazing TORTAS and analyze what makes them so damn tasty.  Its a fusion showdown, and we just might findthat sandwich-dom is even larger than you think!@yearofthe.sandwich

Party Mix is a Zombie snack - invented by resurrecting nearby dying snacks and recruiting them into a super-group that only plays the hits.  The literal patent lists 4 main members, but the supposed 'inventor' says there are actually 6...and he filed the patent.So what is going on with a snack that arrives stale, is sold in every corner store, but is strangely and absolutely only made in the state of Pennsylvania?  What exactly is the key to the Party Mixture?  Are snacks better in a barrel or a bag?And most importantly, who makes the best Party MIxture in the world?  Join me and snack expert, Ben Money, as we comb through the shady details that lie just  below the surface of this strange but oddly popular snack, and unearth some cruel facts you may have never considered.And yes, that is a Jabberwocky Reference.  Good Form.@yearofthe.sandwich

'The Pearl of Hamburg' -  You can order it at nearly every restaurant.  Two buns, stuffed with meat - and no butt-hole.  Well, where I'm from we like to do it at home on the kitchen table.  It usually starts out pink and raw...but then after some heat it develops a salty crust, and the juices tend to fill your mouth and run down your chin.   With a lamb and cow involved, it'll definitely leave you speechless...Hamburgers can be such an afternoon delight.  And this round, I'm joined by a large man who plays bass.@yearofthe.sandwich

Some people have to fight for their rights.  All I wanted was Fried Chicken on a Sunday.   ...And yet, somehow, we would all end up fighting together against a common foe.You wouldn't know from the decor, or the flavor, that Chick Fil-A was up to something.  They are the #3 Fast Food Restaurant in America, but why doesn't their menu convince the rest of the world?  Why Can't they sell fired chicken anywhere else but North America?And did they really 'invent' the Original Chicken Sandwich?  Time to shine a light on this mystery.@yearofthe.sandwich

It starts with bread.  A simple an innocent baguette - in the far East.  Confused, it tries to mingle with the  locals, and then...so inviting...the warmth of an open hearth, the smell of those exotic flavors, what is a lonely baguette to do?well...Shove that dough in raw, and watch it grow, and then pull it out and fill it to the top.  Just be aware, there is an unique smell...They call it Banh Mi.  And it's ready for a night of pure food fusion.Join me and guest Kyle as we discuss this amazing and uniquely smelling sandwich, windows down.@yearofthe.sandwich

They say Lox belongs on bagels...they say meats and cheeses can't touch.  But what happens when bacon wins?  Does God get vengeful?What really happens when 'Kosher' goes wild?  And what the living hell is Gefilte Fish????  In this episode, Jaclyn B. helps us decipher the core flavors and authenticate an open faced Lox Sandwich on Honey Wheat Bread.  Is this a new chapter in Koshology?  Or attempted crimes against the tribe?  Join us as we explore the many types of cured salmon and figure out the value of bagels.@yearofthe.sandwich

Swine, my Brother?Whether it's belly, back, or streaky...Canadian, British, Italian or American...Bacon is  one of the greatest foods ever.   So good that its almost a cheat - Bacon seems to make everything better.So naturally, Bacon has its own flagship sandwich - the BLT - Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato.Few others could go by such a bold approach and survive.  BLT's are a powerful force and ranked #1 in the U.K. and #2 top sandwiches in the U.S. - until 2019... Then something happened.  Currently the BLT sits at #6 in the states.It seems there are those who wish to topple the Bacon Powers that be...those who sew deceit and misinformation about our lovely BLT - to dilute its purity and create madness.Some say it's actually a well-dressed Tomato SandwichSome say it has mandatory Mayonnaise requirements...and  some may even say that you can add Shrimp and Avocado - and it's still a BLT?Join me and guest Semi-Pro Food Philosopher Stephen W. as we discuss what it means to be a BLT and figure out how can you tell if it's upside-down.I'll see you at the table.Share@yearofthe.sandwich

They want you to eat fresh.  They want you to Obey.And they will stop at nothing to feed you....But peel back those deli slices and wipe away that spread - and you'll see the makings of an underground plot to change the fabric of our very world.   Subway is constantly in the courtroom for falsifying their standard ingredients and selling non-foods as sandwich gold.  Join me as we explore the secret truths of SUB-anon, the international sandwich cabal that will destroy the metric system and maybe even bread as we know it....The time is now - will you rise like yeast and fight - or burn in the pan?@yearofthe.sandwich
