Episode 23 We have our second ever co-co-host. Mark’s son Oren. He’s a fisherman and after all the fish stories we got this month, we wanted some professional help. Also he attends the media's latest darling: Florida Gulf Coast College. Go Eagles!FGCU is not only where they were hiding an amazing basketball team, they also have an on-campus sushi bar. Did your college? How about alligators and snakes? They have them too. Did you know they treat their freshmen like royalty? They do, and maybe this is why they win. We also have a number of fishing questions that Oren answers. He was good enough to take time away from shore fishing on beaches filled with bikini clad co-eds. What dedication! This is a tarpon. They sure are shiny.Food Porn (29:00)Oren’s selection: 120 Bites of Peanut Butter MayhemPaula's crazy creation!After 120 bites of luxurious peanut butter, we needed something salty and savory.The Slaughterhouse Sandwich The Slaughterhouse is a KFC Double-down inside of a Wendy's Baconator.Probably best to enjoy this during your college years while you still have a high metabolism Mark's Selection:The Amish Buffet on Highway 64Curiously enough it was not the Amish Buffet that was full of Amish. It turns out they all hang out at the McDonalds next door!Can you see all the beef in that gravy? Oh yeah.It's a buffet. Seconds is sorta mandatory. Spaghetti and mash potatoes? Don't judge. This week the SOJCast is sponsoring The Way Home Rescue Alliance They take animals from kill shelters and give them a place to stay until you adopt them!Like them on FB and give them a few bucks, or better yet - Adopt a new friend.
Episode 22 Special Guest: Robert Irvine from Restaurant ImpossibleThis week the SOJCast doesn't have a sponsor. Instead, we are sponsoring the Freestore Foodbank. We spend a lot of time talking about food here at the SOJCast but it's vital to remember that not everyone has access to food, even here in Cincinnati. That's where the Freestore Foodbank comes in. Don't forget there's still time to get your entry in the March Writing Contest here.We extended the deadline to March 25, so what's your excuse? Your favorite team won't make the Final Four anyway. Cash prizes, trophies and other great stuff. Lex-Con is host to such greats as Billy Dee Williams, Margot Kidder and Charity Parkerson. The SOJCast got on the road and went to bring Charity some Abby Girl cupcakes and some GiGi's cupcakes so she can decide which was best. We suspect future food porn in the making...Taco Bell troubles call The Wolf, or Mark, whichever. He'll talk you through it. Don't forget the Verde sauce. You were warned. We also lament the loss of Taco Viva.That Clint Eastwood spoof of a commercial has been saved on the internet hereIf you remember Taco Viva, drop us a comment. We love to commiserate. Interview with Chef Robert Irvine (14:15)A SOJCast impossibility becomes possible as the Food Network's Chef Robert Irvine does an interview while driving. Always cool under pressure, Chef Robert does not crash his car. He talks Restaurant Impossible, how to get your kids to eat vegetables (without bribery of ANY kind), the charities he supports, and his favorite food. You'll never guess what it is. You'll have to listen. He also tells us what his ultimate restaurant deal breaker is and the one dish he makes better than anyone else. You'll never guess that one, either. Find out what question we were afraid to ask, but did it anyway. Chef Irvine was kind enough to let us leave it in the broadcast. Take that, Anne Burrell!Watch his television show: Restaurant Impossible!Visit his website: http://chefirvine.comFollow Robert Irvine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/robertirvine1In keeping with the philanthropic tone of this week's episode, please visit the Gary Sinise Foundation, which supports all of our wounded warriors. Food Porn (39:00)Stacey’s selection: Red State BBQIt was so good, Stacey forgot to take a picture. Like all good BBQ joints, when they are out of something, they won't have any more for hours. We enjoyed the pulled pork and brisket but when's Rib and Chicken Day?Good thing Laura got a picture of hers:Mark's plate: Pulled Pork, Brisket, Green Beans and Corn Pudding. Mark's Selection:Django's Western TacoIf you’re in Northside, definitely stop by Django’s. The Jalapeno and Bacon Cornbread as mind boggling. The bean dip was unimaginably delicious. Also try some of their tacos. On display here are Al Pastor (Marinated Pork, Pineapple, mint), Chicken (salsa verde) and Beef (horseradish crema and cilantro)See that empty plate? That was the bean dip.
