This is such a fun show, (especially if you are a food-obsessed lardass with questionable dignity.) Wiger and Mitchell have a great, snippy rapport, and people talking about guilty pleasures with unbridled earnestness and candor is almost always an enjoyable listen. I loved Spoonman's increasing hatred of the Rockdoughberfest concept with each subsequent episode and the way he kept retroactively downgrading his previous reviews. I do hope was playing up his fatigue with the concept of the show itself, though. This week they're taking on one of the big boys: Burger King. I've got hella opinions about BK myself (I still like a regular Whopper but otherwise they've gone fully off the rails since ownership changed hands in 2010 and dropping Crispin Porter + Bogusky as their ad firm hasn't helped; also what the gently caress is with their recent offerings like the "Extra Long Cheeseburger" and the "Yumbo") so I'm eager to hear what the Doughboys have to say about them. anotherone posted:I maintain a tumblr to keep track of the ratings and some of the other awards, check it out if you're interested: http://goldenplate.club/ Glory be, this is handy. Plus you included their photos! Good work, I give it 5 forks. Tatum Girlparts posted:Should I eat taco bell???? I find it handy to remember this little rhyme: Taco Bell, Good as Hell (If you listen to Wiger, you should eat at Del Taco, which is some fuckin' West Coast elitism if I've ever heard it. It's been creeping eastward but my "closest" location is Atlanta, which is still nearly 6 miserable hours away.) Mr. Squishy posted:My fave memory of this pod is the TGI Firdays one where, around 50 minutes in, Mitch's opening to his review of the restaurant and Friday the day forces like a minute-long laughbreak. "Friday was pizza night...Urkel...TGIF...all these things I loved as a kid. And now, here's this restaurant..." JethroMcB fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Nov 5, 2015 |

Great episode, though I wish they had touched on the "Exotics" menu that Fuddruckers offers (Bison, boar and elk burgers.) I was ready to join their Sad Loners at Fuddrucker's club myself and go this weekend, but it looks like the location near me fell victim to the effects of the 2008 recession Wiger mentioned in his intro. There's only two left in my state now and they're both 3 hours away. Doughboys built my hopes up and reality dashed them once again.

I always want to side with Burger Boy but...between this, his proclamation that he likes BK's "Extra Long Cheeseburger," his indifference to Thanksgiving, and his preference of Cheese-Nips over Cheez-Its (Fuckin'....what,) I think I'm fully a member of Spoon Nation.

Wiger wins me over by pronouncing "Reese's" correctly...and then immediately goes on a two minute, fundamentally wrongheaded rant about how eggnog is bad. Tsk tsk, Burger Boy.

mennoknight posted:The first episode stunk. Does it get better quick? I think Nick and Mitch find their voices and settle into an engaging, combative back-and-forth pretty quickly, and they and the guests share pretty fun personal stories. That said, if you don't enjoy people super earnestly talking about fast/casual dining then you may want to ditch it. There's a reason that pretty much every episode is at least 90 minutes long. These people are genuinely invested in whatever bad food they're tackling that week. If you want to experience a capsule version of the show, maybe try jumping ahead to the Rockdoughberfest episodes. In just four episodes you'll get a solid window into the show's dynamics, the hosts' chemistry and a foreshortened version of the Spoonman's gradual disillusionment with the very conceit of the podcast.

Today's play-in minisode for the 6th seed was a great, silly installment with a wildly unexpected outcome. Also Spoonman's continued insistence that Five Guys demands too much of the customer is ridiculous. You can always just ask for it "All the Way" - mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions and mushrooms. There, that is their "signature" burger that you don't have to think about.

djnkro posted:I will not weigh in on the final results of the tournament, as it is not my place. I will. Who died and made Susser God of Doughboys? Wiger said Fatburger wouldn't have made the tournament because it's "LA Regional," but it at least has 150+ locations worldwide. Shake Shack only has 66 locations, and half of those are either in NYC or the Middle East. gently caress Susser, gently caress In-N-Out, gently caress Shake Shack. This tournament turned into a travesty. The Sonic the Hedgehog movie is going to suck.

In 2008 Barack Obama ordered something with arugula during one of those "candidate makes a folksy stop at a local restaurant to meet the people" appearances and the GOP tried to spin it as "This frou-frou elitist eats weird poo poo you've never heard of!"

"So wait, the overall event is called the 'Doughlympics Susser Games,' but within that, there is an event called 'The Susser Games.'" "Yes." "YOU HAVE RUINED THIS PODCAST!" As the spiritual successor to Much Madness: Tournament of Chompions, I think the Doughlympics Susser Games are doing a great job of carrying on its legacy of making the hosts hate their own show and everything about it. Looking forward to tomorrow's after show and hearing Burger Boy take some shots at Susser for the Frozen Face-Off. I also loved the extended tangent about Cloud Atlas in the middle of the actual restaurant discussion.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, following his exit from Fox and the drama over the direction of Deadpool 2, Tim Miller has moved to Sony where he is now exec producer on a live action/animated Sonic the Hedgehog movie. The script is coming from...Golan the Insatiable creators Patrick Casey and Josh Miller, NOT Yogurtland reviewer Van Robichaux and Commissioner Evan Susser. This is karmic retribution for the travesty that was the Doughlympic Susser Games.

A food podcast that doesn't release some kind of special ep - at worst, a best-of ep - on the most food-centric holiday...a shameful podcast. Though, honestly, I'm just worried that taking one week off will give Spoonman the motivation he needs to say "gently caress this show" and end it.

little munchkin posted:my favorite part of the doughlympics was when Susser forgot to heat up a bunch of frozen convenience store food for his segment, so the hosts had to stall for five minutes while he microwaved them, then he came back but everything was still cold My favorite was Susser thinking "three men counting the number of fries in a bag out loud, simultaneously, would make for great podcast listening." I mean, it turned out it was, but only because Mitch started shouting "ONE! TWO!" while Wiger laughed for like 20 seconds solid.
