Scott Lynch (@scoboco.bsky.social) is hungry all the time and never knows where in New York City he's going to be. Every week, he checks out a new restaurant, writes about it, and adds it to our $20 Dinner Map. No better day out than today to check out the map: hellgatenyc.com/20-dinner-map/
Banana pancakes are such a delight. I often have hangouts with a set of friends where we do breakfast-for-dinner and watch goofy episodes of Deep Space Nine, and banana pancakes are an important part of all that /Lauren

Apropos of nothing (read: everything), here's a thread of resources for cooking at home considering various constraints (budget, time, the numbing heat-death of society, etc.)
We record remotely, with Anney & I on a video chat. Today my video went out towards the end of recording but we kept going, and at one point after I finished a short rant Anney stopped and laughed and said, 'Wow, without video, this is like listening to a podcast.'
i have been avoiding scheduling an episode of @savorpod.bsky.social about al pastor because its story is pretty similar to shawarma, and my brain says we covered shawarma recently
our shawarma episode came out in 2019

*it'll be about one of Anney's favorite cartoons
It feels Real Weird to self-promote -- well, probably anything right now. Especially stuff like a fluffy lil food science & culture podcast. But we love making it, and hope it brings y'all some joy, too. So let us not go gentle into that good night. Let's rage, by which I mean talk about some food.
<333 this is a very wise take
Oh hello, new-to-us social media platform! The horrors persist. It's us, we are the horrors.
