Eating It Episode 54 - It's A Lot More Purple Than I Expected

We're back! Took a little break for the holidays but David ad Andy are back and this week David talks about his road trip to New Mexico where apparently he barely ate. He did enjoy a sandwich at Oak Tree Café in Albuquerque, NM that sounds awesome. Andy takes us to one of his favorite places to eat, Meadow Village Family Restaurant, in Benson, NC where you can always get some fatback and chocolate cake. Then David heads down the street to Güero's Taco Bar in Austin, TX. His decision was tough as to what to order, but in the end he chose wisely, and so did his wife (off the menu that is). In the end, despite the googling, we still don't know what escobeche is, we just know David ate it, and hasn't died yet. Enjoy!

Eating It Episode 53 - Where's The Bread Lady?

David and Andy are off on another adventure this week as they talk about performing comedy and great places to eat while on the road. This week Andy talks about THE BEST CHEESESTEAK in NC (in his opinion). He takes us to Wilmington, NC to J. Michael's Philly Deli where the Cheesesteaks come swimming in cheese with a fork stabbed in them. Then David takes us back to Sequim, WA at the Oak Table Cafe where there is something different about their pancakes. They won't tell you what it is even though it's printed right there on the menu. Then we discuss splitting meals with your significant other and the issues that arise from doing that. We learn that when David's wife says she wants some sausage, SHE MEANS IT! Enjoy!

Eating it Episode 52 - That's How My Mommy Makes It

This week is a special episode because not only do we have a guest, but it is David's sister and long time listener, EMILY TOBEY! (YEAH!) This week we talk to David and Emily about the great places they ate while on David's comedy run in the Northwest. First it was Aunt Becky's Deli in SeaTac, WA where Emily found out that not everybody serves egg salad hot. Then they DROVE PAST Voodoo Doughnuts and didn't have any. (FOR SHAME!) Next it was Sweetwaters On The River in Eugene, OR where David dined in elegance and Emily dined like it was Chuck E Cheese's. They enjoyed a fabulous breakfast at Studio 1 Cafe also in Eugene where the pancakes were thick and the Huevos were runny. David then took Emily to an old favorite, Jasper's Cafe in Medford, OR. There, David tried the Elk Burger and Emily tried the Black Bean burger. They stopped at Richard's Donuts in Medford which has a creepy website. And Finally they ended their food & comedy trek at Kaleidoscope Pizzeria and Pub where we learned that if you get the Cheese Sticks for an appetizer, they might just be enough to feed an army. There is some slight sound issues but worth it for the laughs. Don't miss our discussion on the pronunciation of Jalapeño. This is a lot of fun. Enjoy!

For once he took Andy's recommendation and went to Benny Marconi's to get a slice of pizza that you need two plates just to hold. Then Andy was at DSI in Chapel Hill, NC. He went several blocks down the street to Carrboro, NC to get some wings and Queso at the Armadillo Grill. Finally David talks about being scarred as a youngster at The Brick Oven, only to revisit it 22 years later and realize he likes it, he really likes it. And don't miss Andy rake the fine folks at Pizza Inn through the coals. Lots of laughs are had. Enjoy!

Eating It Episode 50 - A Blind Squirrel Named Mojoe

This week, which was last week which may have been two weeks from yesterday if this week is next week, (I'm also confused) the fellas talk smoked pork again, but this time on Andy's Gas Grill. I know, who knew. Then David takes us to Round Rock Texas to a unique sandwich place called The Blind Squirrel. Then both Andy and David rave about about a great place in Raleigh they have both enjoyed and mentioned, Mojoe's Burger Joint. Be sure and listen to us make fun of other Yelp reviewers who seem to forget they are there for the food. Enjoy!

Eating It Episode 49 - Is it To Too or Two?

This week David and Andy are on a roll talking about David smoking a Pork Butt on his new grill. They talk pulled pork versus chopping it up. David then tells us about his horrific gig in Santa Cruz, CA that he may or may not have made it to. Then we talk about THE VARSITY in Atlanta, GA. David had a stop over there during his adventure and enjoyed some chili drenched food wile in the Atlanta airport. Andy then takes us to Roanoke, VA where he performed at the Star City Comedy Club which is inside a place called Corned Beef & Co. (He didn't try their food, I'm sure it's awesome, sorry.) However he got some Enormous pizza that was awesome from Benny Marconi's. They don't mess around there. The fellas tell you how to save hundreds of dollars by never letting Jiffy Lube change your air filters and don't miss the talk about the Two/To/Too geniuses Andy overheard at Mojoe's. Enjoy!

Eating It Episode 48 - Humane Chicken... We Kill!

This week David and Andy talk about Eating It on stage. Some of there worst gigs and what made them so bad. Then Andy takes us back to Augusta, GA where he found a great place for breakfast where it's so good you'll suck it right out of your teeth at the Sunrise Grill. David then heads down the street from his house to the Galaxy Cafe, (where all the attractive ladies apparently eat), to try a free range chipotle chicken wrap. No one is more shocked than us as to how prepared David is for this episode. It is yet another great time, so give it a listen. Enjoy!

Hey, it's the Comedy and Food podcast. This week David and Andy tell you about some great places to eat that they have discovered while on the road performing comedy. This week Andy was at Goodnight's Comedy Club in Raleigh, NC (his home club) and an owner of several Dickey's Barbecue Pit's brought in some delicious BBQ for Jimmie "JJ" Walker and Andy and the staff. Then David escaped the state of Texas and went to Salt Lake City, Utah where he ate a delicious meal that was also an awesome deal at Hook & Ladder Co Fire Station No. 13. It sounded so good! And as if that wasn't enough, he hit up Nonna's Pizzeria. They provided an incredible Italian meal for yet another deal. The Tobey boys claim that it was Too Much Cheese! But we all know that's BLASPHEMY! There is more talk of possibly making it to Franklin's BBQ in Austin, TX, twice voted best BBQ in America and right near David, yet he's never been. We have fun making these. Hope you enjoy listening!

Eating It Episode 46 - Juicy Equals Fatty

We have a blast this week talking about David trying to ruin a good piece of meat and some great places to eat. First off, David tells us about how to cook and how not to cook a Brisket on the grill. Then it's Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q to the rescue, where everything is delicious and you can drink the sauce it's just that good. Andy hits a fabulous breakfast joint right outside of Johnson City, TN in Jonesborough, TN called Olde Towne Pancake House. You can get a Big Boy Breakfast for a deal that is delicious. Finally Andy has to tell us about the Carswell Bakery, in Rock Hill, SC where even though he's only been there a handful of times and only once a year, they remember him. THE CHEESE RINGS ARE AWESOME! David admits that his wife is a Wizard and Andy has to convince him not to trade his mother in on a newer model. A good time is had as usual. ENJOY!
