Be Safe, Use a Condiment
In celebration of National Mustard Day, Flavorphiles is bringing the heat, just not the hot sauce.<br /><br />This week, Tanner and Jerry dive into the world of spicy condiments, from chili crisp and horseradish to hot mustard, yuzu kosho, and the jars hiding in the back of your fridge that may or may not still be alive. Then they answer one of sushi’s great green mysteries: what is wasabi, really, and why is the stuff most people eat basically wearing a disguise?<br /><br />Barry Levenson, founder and curator of the National Mustard Museum, joins the show to talk mustard history, mustard culture, strange mustards, great mustards, and how a baseball heartbreak somehow led to one of the world’s greatest condiment collections.<br /><br />Finally, Tanner walks Jerry through a blind tasting of six different peppercorns, including black, white, pink, green, long pepper, and Sichuan peppercorns. Jerry tastes them for the first time and discovers that “pepper” is not one thing—and sometimes it is not technically pepper at all.<br /><br />Be safe. Use a condiment.<br /><br />Thank you for listening! Join us again every weekend for more food inspired fun.

Eat to the Beat with Bowling for Soup's Rob Felicetti
This week on Flavorphiles, we turn up the volume for an episode all about the strange, funny, and surprisingly important relationship between food and music.<br /><br />Jerry returns to his roots as a longtime radio DJ with a countdown of his top 10 songs about food, from the Beatles, to Frank Sinatra, to Jack Johnson. <br /><br />Then Rob Felicetti of Bowling for Soup joins us to talk about eating on tour: the best meals on the road, the foods that make certain cities worth looking forward to, backstage catering, late-night survival meals, and why he has such a deep love for kangaroo.<br /><br />After that, we get into the restaurant side of the soundtrack. How do great restaurants build playlists? Why does the right song make a room feel alive, while the wrong one can kill the vibe instantly? Tanner breaks down how music shapes pace, mood, energy, and even the way guests experience a meal.<br /><br />Finally, we ask why live music has disappeared from so many restaurants. Is it cost, volume, changing guest expectations, or the rise of the perfectly curated playlist? And when live music does work, what makes it unforgettable?<br /><br />Amuse Booze: The piña colada.<br /><br />Thank you for listening! Join us again every weekend for more food inspired fun.

Dining Out for Clout
Restaurants used to be places you went to eat. Now they’re also places you go to post, flex, film, and prove you were there.<br /><br />This week on Flavorphiles, Tanner and Jerry look at the rise of dining out for clout. We start with a viral flaming cocktail stunt that looks incredible on camera and asks the obvious question: when food and drinks are built for the video, what happens to the actual experience? Then we dig into how restaurants have changed in the camera era, from better lighting and tableside service to dramatic plating, cocktail reveals, and rooms designed to be shared online.<br /><br />A food influencer joins the show to talk about what makes a restaurant postable, how creators build an audience, and how they balance credibility, comped meals, sponsorships, and actually enjoying dinner.<br /><br />We also build the ultimate Instagram restaurant starter pack, complete with neon signs, fake floral walls, hidden doors that are not hidden, and menus that are just steakhouses.<br /><br />Finally, we rank the great clout foods and drinks — seafood towers, A5 wagyu, caviar bumps, giant steaks, champagne, martini carts, and more — to decide what’s worth it and what’s just an edible receipt.<br /><br />Thank you for listening!
