An impromptu episode where Kirk's kids, Theo, and Lily, ask for hot wings for lunch, and Kirk agrees....but only if they come on the pod to talk about it.

A Sandwich is a House That Needs Proper Constuction (w/Theodore Pynchon)

With Lindsey out on vacation trying to find her true self, Kirk has his son Theodore on the show to talk about sandwiches. Theo, who's spent the last year and a half making sandwiches as a part-time job, is a sandwich expert (he calls himself a "sandwich wizard"...um...okay), who gives us the fine art of creating the perfect sandwich in terms of bread, meats, toppings, and condiments. Then Theo uses all of his "wizardry" to create the ideal sandwich for his dad. Will he fail and disappoint Kirk as he has done most of his life?

Granola and the Chew-Chunk Theory

Granola is for more than just hippies. It's for people like Kirk and Lindsey, people who can appreciate granola for what it is...a food that is kinda good for you but not really. So the two talk best/worst flavors, crumbly vs. chunky, what dried fruits belong or don't belong, the importance of the chew-chunk theory, and wtf is savory granola.

Drinking the Kool-Aid That Is Whole Foods

Whole Foods can seem like an annoying lifestyle...but it's an annoying lifestyle that Kirk and Lindsey are here for! So much so that the two devote an entire episode to it, filled with why they go there, what they get, what they don't get, the love/hate relationship they have with the fact that Amazon owns it, and then the two separately do their own Whole Foods visit, resulting in with one of the biggest surprises in the show's history.

There Is No Cool Way To Eat Jerky

Is there a better snack than jerky? Kirk and Lindsey think not, and that's why they are celebrating all things jerked in this episode. They talk types (how come there's no chicken jerky?), flavors (Dr. Pepper Jalapeño is just sooooo stupid), and they marvel at the fact that certain squirrels actually make their own jerky!

When Does a Baked Potato Suddenly Become a LOADED Baked Potato?

It may seem like a philosophical question, but there is indeed an actual answer to when just a baked potato transforms into a loaded baked potato. And Kirk and Lindsey have that answer! (You're welcome.) They also have the answers to which type of loaded baked potato is the best, as well as a bizarre tale of why Kirk as a teenager once went to prom in Muncie, Indiana with a girl he met in Paris, France. (And yes, that story does have a baked potato theme.)

Why is Everyone Trying to Make Yogurt NOT Taste Like Yogurt?

Kirk and Lindsey like to dabble in the yogurt world, but for the life of them, they can't figure out why yogurt can't just be yogurt. (MAPLE BACON DONUT IS NOT A FLAVOR OF YOGURT THAT SHOULD EVER EXIST.) So the two dive into all the bs flavors that are out there, as well as talk about best/worst add-ins, the nostalgia of certain yogurt brands, why fro yo is just dumb, and why certain bros are so intimidated by eating yogurt that they have to call it, "brogurt."

Pretzels are a Desperation Food

Seriously, does anyone really care about pretzels? Kirk and Lindsey aren't just being s**tty (well, no more than usual). They seriously want to know. Cause when it comes to pretzels, the two of them give it one big, collective shrug. It's not that they hate them. It's just that they're...well...pretzels.

They do F Marry Kill with types of beans, play the Elimination Game with bean dishes, argue about the worth of chickpeas, and Kirk tells the tale of how he used to eat his green beans as a kid (it's as weird as you'd imagine).

Kirk's Salad Redemption??? (with Kelly Wallace-Barnhill)

In 2021, Kirk and Lindsey did a salad episode where they competed on who could create a better salad. Lindsey won...Kirk cheated. When the salad episode was re-released last month, frequent guest and friend of Food Fight! Kelly Wallace-Barnhill listened and lost her damn mind. So to right the wrong, Kirk, Lindsey, and Kelly gathered together so Kirk could create another salad (without cheating) in the hopes to mend fences. (It didn't.)

It's summer and if you aren't eating popsicles, are you even having a summer? Like when else are you eating popsicles? Spring? Meh. Fall? Hard pass. Winter? Just...stop. Popsicles are meant for summer, so that's what Kirk and Lindsey are talking about this week — nostalgic popsicles, bougie popsicles, creamsicles, even...wait for it...pickle popsicles. And out of nowhere, Lindsey's husband Bradley bum rushes the pod to explain the joys of eating popsicles as an adult.

Cottage Cheese Has Gotten a Glow Up

Remember when we all used to make fun of cottage cheese? It was that thing from the '70s and '80s that was scooped into a melon and eaten by moms everywhere? Not anymore. Thanks to Tik Tok, cottage cheese has gotten a glow up and now all the cool kids are doing it. But are Kirk and Lindsey doing it? Is cottage cheese worth all this new hype, or is it the same stuff we mocked decades ago?

Let's Debate the Hottest Food Takes from the Internet

You think Kirk and Lindsey have hot food takes? Yeesh! The internet is literally on fire with them, so the two dissect a bunch to see how valid they really are. Takes like: "If you put nuts in brownies you are an evil person." "Vanilla is the best flavor of ice cream." "I love beets because they taste like how dirt smells." And those aren't even the hottest!

If You're Gonna Be a Cafe, You Better Be Cute AF

Cafe food is good. But cafe food from a cute af cafe is GREAT. In fact, in Kirk and Lindsey's opinion, if your cafe isn't cozy, quaint, allows for dogs, and doesn't have a unicycle mounted to the wall, what's the point of even eating there? So, on this week's ep, the two not only talk about what vibe and what food makes a cafe great, but they compete head to head in creating their version of the perfect cute cafe.

And Kirk forces Theodore to eat an absolutely gross dish he used to make when he was a college student in the ’90s. (Is that good parenting or great parenting?)

They discuss ice or no ice, fruit wedge or no fruit wedge, underrated and overrated flavors, and which brands are awesome and which are just trying too hard. Then the two play the La Croix Elimination Game to see which La Croix flavor will be left standing. And, for the first time in Food Fight! history, Kirk and Lindsey burp on air…YOU’RE WELCOME.

“This Grilled Cheese Has Too Much Cheese.” - Said No One Ever

Let’s just say what we’re all thinking: If you don’t like grilled cheese, then you don’t deserve nice things or friends. Grilled cheese is damn near perfect, and this week Kirk and Lindsey celebrate a meal that is just bread, cheese, and butter. They debate best/worst bread, best/worst cheese, how sexy is that cheese stretch, which is worse — burnt grilled cheese or not-melted-enough grilled cheese, best add-ons, when grilled cheese gets too cute with flavors, and does grilled cheese even need a bowl of tomato soup?

Let’s Pretend We’re Housewives From the 1970s (With Kelly Wallace-Barnhill and Jackie Brubaker)

A few episodes back (the wine party episode to be exact), off the pod Kirk brought out a handmade cookbook from 1972 that his mom was given when the family moved to the suburbs of Cleveland. Everyone thought it was so funny (and everyone had had so much wine), that Kirk and Lindsey decided that the two of them, along with Jackie Brubaker and Kelly Wallace-Barnhill, would randomly choose a recipe from the book, recreate that exact recipe, come back, and have a 1970's housewives dinner party. One month later…here they all are.

How Not to Be a Trash Monster at Thanksgiving (with Nick Leighton & Leah Bonnema)

It’s no big secret that Kirk and Lindsey are trash monsters and that they may need some…okay, A LOT…of help in the etiquette department. So this week they’ve invited the hosts of the incredible podcast Were You Raised By Wolves? to come on the show to discuss Thanksgiving manners, etiquette, and, of course, food. The four also dive deep into the question, “What do you do when friends invite themselves over for Thanksgiving?” and, more importantly, learn the power of the phrase, “Unfortunately, that’s not possible.” Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey Gentile Producer: Kirk Pynchon Theme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” Pynchon Email us: [email protected] Follow us: instagram.com/thefoodfightpod Follow Lindsey: instagram.com/lindseygentile Learn more about your ad choices.

Is It More Fun To Say You’re Vegan Than Being Vegan?

If you don’t think of vegan food as trying to be anything else than vegan food, then it’s actually pretty tasty. That being said, some vegans are just the WORST (looking at you West Side Los Angelenos) and the commitment to being vegan can be rough. (Vegan cheese, anyone?) So this week, Kirk and Lindsey hash out their feelings on vegan food, how well it works in Asian food, how awful it works in Italian, the genius of jackfruit, the acceptability of vegan desserts, why the F it’s so damn expensive, and they reveal 24 food products you probably didn’t know where vegan!

You Only Want Cajun Food When You Can’t Have It

When it comes to cajun food, Kirk and Lindsey are real dumb dumbs. (Well, more so than usual.) So on this episode they have a lot more questions than answers, such as jambalaya vs. gumbo, are po boys the best sandwiches ever, are red beans and rice too underrated, is chicory coffee all that, would they eat rabbit, would they eat alligator, and what’s the deal with all the damn King Cake dessert mutations?

If You Don’t Like Peanut Butter…We Don’t Like You

Kirk and Lindsey love peanut butter so much that they just had to do an entire episode on it. (You’re welcome.) They debate crunchy vs. creamy (again), salted vs. unsalted, best peanut butter desserts, best and worst peanut butter combos, and weirdest dishes made with peanut butter. (Like…um…chili?) More importantly, Lindsey discovers a secret about her new husband that is so shocking that it makes her question her marriage!

A Good, Ole Fashioned Wine Party with Kelly Wallace-Barnhill and Jackie Brubaker!

Lindsey’s married, bitches! And to celebrate that, Kirk and Linds are having a wine party with Food Fight friends Kelly Wallace-Barnhill and Jackie Brubaker. They’ve got red, white, rosé, unfiltered wine, Prosecco, and they’ve even got a charcuterie board AND chocolate chip cookies! And they’re talking wine too: Bests, worsts, is it basic or is it classy, wine coolers and spritzer, crushed ice in wine (WUT?) how wine is made for talking, how getting 2 Buck Chuck in your 30s is WRONG, and, for some reason, a deep dive into perfumes and colognes they loved back in the day. (Yeah, A LOT of wine was consumed on this one.)

Our Milkshakes DO Bring All the Boys to the Yard (with Theodore Pynchon)

While Lindsey is in the throes of wedding panic, Kirk brings on his teenage son Theodore to discuss all the things that make a milkshake…well…a milkshake. They debate if they’re more special than a bowl of ice cream, worst/best flavors, how many flavors should you be allowed when ordering a milkshake, the stress that is figuring how fast or slow you should drink a milkshake, and when does all the sparkle and extras put on a milkshake turn it into stunt food? More importantly, they pose this psychological dilemma: Why is it socially acceptable to dip a French fry in a milkshake but when you dip it in a bowl of ice cream you’re a “weirdo”?
