Had the incomparable on Last Meals. I’ve been a huge fan since day 1 (Tory Hive, rise up!) so this was rad. She declined the offer to kick me in the face, but we do talk about grief and eat Cincinnati chili!

This weekend I have eaten 6 Amoroso hoagie rolls with 3 lbs of pork loin stuffed therein. It has been a good weekend.

The sandwich was so wet (gotta hold the sliced pork in jus) that I ate it with a gym towel covering my whole lap. The towel was soaked.

Had Amoroso rolls and pork loin so I wanted a Philly roast pork but the store didn’t have broccoli rabe so I used mustard greens and said fuck it and tossed the greens with olive salad. Top 3 sandwich I’ve ever made. Feel blessed rn.

Talking about price in food is so tough because on the one hand food is too cheap to create proper working and environmental conditions and on the other hand it’s too expensive for people to afford and people get mad both about cheap food and expensive food so I’m just like 🤷

The Erewhon steak breakfast burrito may not be the best in LA, but it is pretty fucking good. Like, way better than it has to be.

(You only get that last bit if you’ve had inguinal hernia repair surgery). Literally felt like a child shooting hoops with Michael Jordan when we launched into some sort of impromptu bit. I was just trying to keep up and knock down my jumpers.

Can’t stress enough how awesome it was to chat about food and death with . He has such an incredible combo of empathy, wisdom, and hernia-straining hilariousness. One of the best episodes we’ve ever made.

This is one of my favorite interviews I've ever done. I got to eat all of my favorite foods, give love to all of my favorite restaurants and talk in depth about life and a lot about death (which terrifies me) with the incredible @MythicalChef. Bon Appétit.

New character build just dropped: the Pinterest gym bro. And yes, I know I’m running out of BCAAs. Also lemme know what other useless supplements I should waste $30 on!

Paneer is so different from mascarpone is so different from feta is so different from emmentaler. Squid is so different from oysters is so different from swordfish is so different from flounder. To quote Star Trek, “only a shit deals in absolutes!”

There’s so many examples of cheese and fish being eaten together. Tacos gobernador, cod gratin, bagel and lox. Also, the world of both fish and cheese are so incredibly diverse that you can’t deal in absolutes.

Stuffed a filet of sole with shrimp, crab, spinach, feta, dill, scallion, and garlic and put a lil white wine lemon butter sauce on it. Like spanakopita, but fish. Also cheese and seafood is perfectly acceptable. Good day.

The first ever Fancy Fast Food, a $205 Big Mac made with American wagyu ribeye and uni special sauce, was 5 years ago. Pretty crazy how time flies.

Eating king crab fried rice and drinking wine in an alley. Pretty damn good for a Tuesday, I’d say.

This is a very cool thought experiment! I get gender euphoria from 1) crushing weights in the gym (certainly not for everyone, but I enjoy it) while not being a stereotypical dickhead, and 2) forgoing my own comfort for the comfort, happiness, and/or safety of someone else.

Replying to @MythicalChef
As a trans person something I ask cis people in my life is what gives them gender euphoria, bc cis people can experience gender euphoria too! I think exploring what makes you happy to be a man in lieu of "not womanhood" is a really insightful and self reflective

I ain't got any answers, and I don't pretend to, which is one of the reasons why I don't have hordes of young, confused men following me and my magic 8 steps to a successful life or whatever. But, man, if we just stop equating aggression with masculinity, that'd be a good start.

On a real note, said one of the most insightful things I've heard about masculinity, which is: "We don't teach boys how to be men; we teach boys how to not be women." Which is a bad thing, and something I felt a lot growing up.

The Jungle Bird is one of the greatest cocktails in the world. Campari, rum, pineapple, lime, simple. Tiki vibes but impeccable balance. It’s just a freakin treat, man.

It's actually one of my favorite episodes we've recorded! All about why salt is the most important ingredient in your pantry, but isn't talked about enough. And how fancy salts are total BS.
