About this episode
Dave and the team go guest-free for a No Tangent Tuesday that turns into a full-on tangent marathon. From musical instruments to experimental butter alternatives and water buffalo burgers, the crew dives deep into cooking experiments, ingredient terminology, and personal kitchen disasters. As always, the show blends humor, curiosity, and a fair share of chaos. • Anti-Butter & the Philosophy of Naming – Quinn shares his centrifuge-based “hyper cream” experiment, prompting a spirited discussion about emulsions, accurate naming conventions in cooking, and whether terminology shapes perception and understanding. • Water Buffalo, Focaccia, and Crotchless Pants – A deep dive into dry-aging local water buffalo, the challenges of focaccia dough structure, and Dave’s bike-seat-induced wardrobe malfunction all spiral into reflections on margarine, genetics, and salt substitutes. • From Tailored Pork Roll to Chef Boyardee – The crew waxes nostalgic about childhood food hacks, underrated meats like Taylor Pork Roll, and the pitfalls of using imperial measurements, pinches, and cups in recipe writing.
