Listening to Matthew Amster-Burton & Molly Wizenberg host the popular culinary comedy podcast 'Spilled Milk' is like eavesdropping on a giggly slumber party between two curious, well-read best friends who love to eat. Molly's last meal takes us to Oklahoma City, home of one of her favorite childhood treats: the chocolate malt at Braum's Ice Cream & Dairy Store. We'll learn the fascinating history of old timey, 19th century pharmacy soda fountains (which is where the malt was born, aww!) with beverage history buff Darcy O'Neil. And host Rachel Belle tries her very first (and second and THIRD!) malted milkshake. Matthew's last meal takes us to Japan, by way of Oakland, California with the owner's of Umami Mart, who break down okonomiyaki, a savory Japanese pancake best enjoyed late at night with plenty of beer. Last but not least, legendary Italian chef, cooking show host and restaurateur Lidia Bastianich joins the show to share the history of cacio e pepe, one of Rome's most ancient pasta dishes. Follow Your Last Meal on Instagram! 'Your Last Meal' is a James Beard Award finalist for Best Podcast & has been the #1 food podcast on Apple Podcast. Each episode, award winning host Rachel Belle interviews a celebrity (Greta Gerwig, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jenny Slate, Betsey Johnson, etc) about what they would choose to eat for their last meal. Then, she digs into the history/science/culture of that dish with experts from around the globe. Don't let the name fool you, 'Your Last Meal' is not morbid! We use food as a catalyst to learn about people. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Penthouse https://uploads.fireside.fm/images/c/c7e7a43b-5714-4470-a244-6aa82c1dceff/uaKzum8M.jpg On our fourth episode we listen to Luna’s Penthouse, Laura Loe’s favorite album of the 1990s. We discuss lush recording, embarrassing lyrics, shameless Velvet Underground rip offs, and the absence of early rock shows for aging Gen-Xers. Luna (extended thoughts from Laura Loe) There are a lot of amazing things about doing our Hidden Jukebox podcast. Tonight I'm listening to Luna's Penthouse for the millionth time with completely different ears--this is a super special rare gift. Thank you Matthew Amster-Burton for this amazing opportunity to re-hear the music that is so central to me. Some albums aren’t remarkable the first time you hear them. This is one of those albums. Over the years I have become more and more and more obsessed with it. From the first notes of Chinatown, I am transported to a particular moment in a person’s life when they think they are really fucking cool—I think this whole album mocks a certain New York rocker pretentious hipsterism… The lyrics get funnier and funnier the more you spend time with them. And some lyrics which seem playful at first can turn sinister after the 50th listen. Released in August 1995, this is the third album by Luna, produced by Pat MacCarthy who the interwebs tell me mixed Madonna’s Ray of Light. On Hidden Jukebox we usually ask... Where did you hear this album the first time? I was living in Evanston, homesick for Santa Monica and also homesick for a version of New York City--where I had never lived--but I was increasingly realizing was out of my reach. I’d grown up in the suburbs of NY till I was 13 and in my mind my 20’s would be spent there… Certain albums make me long for a New York that probably only exists in my daydreams. (The most obvious is probably Lou Reed's New York... but the most vivid for me is PJ Harvey’s Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea...) The songs on this album all run together for me. I almost never don’t listen to this album start to finish. The tempo of the songs is all just a little bit slower than any “hit single” will ever be. It is languid af and all feels like it must have been written and recorded on an ecstasy come down. The bass playing is exquisite and buried so deep in the mix. It is hidden. I didn't even pay attention to it till I became a bass player.... Another aspect of this album that requires many listens to really hear it. I’ve tried over the years to get various people to fall in love with this album as hard as I have. Almost never succeeded. This album makes me think about the times you call out of work or skip school or tell a lover you’re working late at the office but really what you’ve done is stolen a moment for yourself. Where no one knows where you are and it feels delicious.

We've finally made it to 300 episodes, so are celebrating with Bibimbap and then maybe some brown diamonds. We sing about rice and the Facts of Life (again) while learning about hot stone bowls and experiments in patience. Matthew's Bibimbap From Hungry Monkey, Matthew Amster-Burton, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2009 Serves 4 Time: 90 minutes, plus at least 2 hours marinating time Other popular toppings include carrots, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms and daikon, but try the simple version below first. And by all means try a vegetarian version, with tofu or without. The beef will be easier to slice if you freeze it for 30 to 60 minutes first. If you have access to a Japanese or Korean grocery, you'll find good-quality pre-sliced beef labeled for sukiyaki or bulgogi---a real timesaver. My favorite bowls for serving bibimbap (and many other rice and noodle dishes) are Crate and Barrel's inexpensive Bistro Bowls.For the bulgogi marinade: 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons finely grated Asian pear or Granny Smith apple 1 scallion, thinly sliced 1 medium clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper 1 pound beef flank steak, halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into very thin slices 8 ounces bean sprouts sesame oil 6 cups hot cooked medium-grain (Calrose) rice (from about 2 cups uncooked rice) 8 ounces napa cabbage kimchi (see note) 4 eggs peanut or vegetable oil gochujang (Korean hot sauce), thinned to pourable texture with rice wine vinegar or water (see note) Combine the soy sauce, sugar, pear, scallions, garlic, sesame seeds, oil and pepper in a bowl. Add the meat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Put the meat and the marinade in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook just until no trace of pink remains in the meat. Set aside. Blanch the bean sprouts in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Fry the eggs in a bit of peanut oil a large skillet. (A runny yolk is best here, because the heat of the rice will cook it.) Place 1-1/2 cups of rice in each bowl. Top each bowl with one quarter of the beef, bean sprouts and kimchi---arranging them reasonably artfully around the edge of the bowl---and place a fried egg in the middle. Serve immediately. Each diner should add gochujang to taste and stir everything together, including the egg. Eat with a spoon.Notes Gochujang is sold in Korean and other Asian groceries, and now often Western supermarkets as well, generally in a red plastic box. Kimchi is sold in jars in the refrigerated section of the supermarket, usually near the produce with the Asian noodles and tofu. The kind I call for is the most common variety and needs no prep before serving other than slicing it and putting it atop the bibimbap.

Biz and Theresa talk candy! Is there such a thing as too much candy and really, for whom are we asking? Between school celebrations, holidays, and parties, there seems to be a never-ending flow of candy into our lives. Do we try to control the candy or just use candy to control our kids?

Matthew Amster-Burton is a food writer and host of the podcast Spilled Milk. Matthew has a particular affinity for Japanese food, and that led to a trip to that country he'd promised to his daughter, Iris, who stars in his book Hungry Monkey. Their trip led to a second visit to Japan with Matthew's wife and Iris's mom Laurie, and to a second book, Pretty Good Number One, about eating in Tokyo. He talks about the perils of publishing with a large firm and on his own, and how he's navigated the maze of electronic book production. Matthew on Twitter: @mamster
