Food Fight!A Sandwich is a House That Needs Proper Constuction (w/Theodore Pynchon)With Lindsey out on vacation trying to find her true self, Kirk has his son Theodore on the show to talk about sandwiches. Theo, who's spent the last year and a half making sandwiches as a part-time job, is a sandwich expert (he calls himself a "sandwich wizard"...um...okay), who gives us the fine art of creating the perfect sandwich in terms of bread, meats, toppings, and condiments. Then Theo uses all of his "wizardry" to create the ideal sandwich for his dad. Will he fail and disappoint Kirk as he has done most of his life?2023-09-2759 min

Food Fight!When Does a Baked Potato Suddenly Become a LOADED Baked Potato?It may seem like a philosophical question, but there is indeed an actual answer to when just a baked potato transforms into a loaded baked potato. And Kirk and Lindsey have that answer! (You're welcome.) They also have the answers to which type of loaded baked potato is the best, as well as a bizarre tale of why Kirk as a teenager once went to prom in Muncie, Indiana with a girl he met in Paris, France. (And yes, that story does have a baked potato theme.)Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk Pynchon 2023-08-3050 min

Food Fight!What Would Be Your Final, Death Row Meal? (with Theodore Pynchon)While Lindsey is STILL on vacay, Kirk invites his son Theodore back onto the pod to talk about famous death row last meals, are they worth eating, what did they get right/wrong, and then father and son give their own death row final meals to see if they matched at all!Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk PynchonTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonEmail us: foodfightthepod@gmail.comFollow us: instagram.com/thefoodfightpodFollow Lindsey: instagram.com/lindseygentile Learn more...2023-08-0254 min

Food Fight!Kirk's Salad Redemption???In 2021, Kirk and Lindsey did a salad episode where they competed on who could create a better salad. Lindsey won...Kirk cheated. When the salad episode was re-released last month, frequent guest and friend of Food Fight! Kelly Wallace-Barnhill listened and lost her damn mind. So to right the wrong, Kirk, Lindsey, and Kelly gathered together so Kirk could create another salad (without cheating) in the hopes to mend fences. (It didn't.)Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk PynchonTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonEmail us: foodfightthepod@gmail.com 2023-07-121h 24

Food Fight!Food Fight Food Auction V: The RebirthWith Lindsey out of town, Kirk and frequent guest Kelly Wallace-Barnhill do the unthinkable...another fine-dining food auction!

Food Fight!The One Where Kirk Goes to Europe and Lindsey Judges His Food ChoicesQuestion: What do you do when you spend a week in Paris and Rome?Answer: You eat EVERYTHING. And then you do a podcast about it where your partner who didn't go with you judges you on how well you ate.

Food Fight!If You're Gonna Taco Tour - Ya Gotta Taco PlanKirk: "Let's do a taco tour..."Lindsey: "Hold my beer..."What was supposed to be a casual night of eating some tacos with friend of Food Fight! Kelly Wallace-Barnhill turned into a lesson in math. Lindsey went into full-metal planning mode, Kelly questioned if this should even be happening, and Kirk complained cause he missed his Saturday nap. Luckily, LA has the best tacos around so in the end, all was forgiven.Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk PynchonTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonEmai...2023-03-1555 min

Food Fight!Eating in College...a Lesson in Struggle Meals (with Theodore Pynchon)It’s the start of 2023 and Lindsey is on vacation…again. So Kirk decides to school his college-bound son Theodore on the fine art…of…well…eating in college. The two discuss what to eat and what not to eat, dining hall food, peanut butter, ramen, tuna mac and cheese, crackers, canned soup, and, of course, ALL THE PIZZA. And Kirk forces Theodore to eat an absolutely gross dish he used to make when he was a college student in the ’90s. (Is that good parenting or great parenting?)Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk Pynchon...2023-01-111h 01

Food Fight!It’s The End Of The Year…So F ItWe finally made it to the end of 2022! So to honor the end of one year and the beginning of the new one, what are Kirk and Lindsey doing? They’re saying “F it. ” That’s right — the two are just gonna talk about the foods they eat when they wanna say “F it, I have had enough of this day,” or “F it, I earned this,” or even “F it, I can’t even with Kirk anymore.” The two dive into what does and doesn’t constitute F-it food, is pizza really and truly an F-it food, where to eat your F-it food, and h...2022-12-281h 08

Food Fight!If You Drink Sparkling Water…Then You FancyWhen it comes to water, who doesn’t want sparkling water over flat? No one, that’s who. In this episode, Kirk and Lindsey are talking about all things sparkling water and, boy, do they drink that topic up. They discuss ice or no ice, fruit wedge or no fruit wedge, underrated and overrated flavors, and which brands are awesome and which are just trying too hard. Then the two play the La Croix Elimination Game to see which La Croix flavor will be left standing. And, for the first time in Food Fight! history, Kirk and Lindsey burp on a...2022-12-141h 02

Food Fight!Our Milkshakes DO Bring All the Boys to the Yard (with Theodore Pynchon)While Lindsey is in the throes of wedding panic, Kirk brings on his teenage son Theodore to discuss all the things that make a milkshake…well…a milkshake. They debate if they’re more special than a bowl of ice cream, worst/best flavors, how many flavors should you be allowed when ordering a milkshake, the stress that is figuring how fast or slow you should drink a milkshake, and when does all the sparkle and extras put on a milkshake turn it into stunt food? More importantly, they pose this psychological dilemma: Why is it socially acceptable to dip a...2022-10-121h 02

Food Fight!Kirk and Lindsey’s Sausage PartyLindsey is back and, per her request, she’s asked to talk about…sausages? Yeah, sausages! Sausages rule. Why? Cause you can literally put them in anything. So this week, Kirk and Lindsey discuss different types of sausages, different flavors, why they’re WAY better than hot dogs, link vs. patty, are they better whole or cut up, and what dishes are the two exactly putting their sausages in. (Get your minds out of the gutter, folks.)Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk PynchonTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonEmail us...2022-08-101h 07

Food Fight!Dining and Dating (with Jackie Brubaker)While Lindsey is out enjoying her best life (without Kirk), we invited back to the show our super-talented friend and multi-hyphenate, Jackie Brubaker! One of Jackie’s many talents is that of a life/relationship coach, so she and Kirk dive into the crazy world of dining and dating. The two debate best and worst foods to eat on a date, judging a date based on their food choices, how too nice of a restaurant is just too much pressure, sharing appetizers vs. sharing desserts, is a lunch date even a date, and then the two share their most ho...2022-08-031h 28

Food Fight!The SPAM-i-sode (with Theodore Pynchon)While Lindsey is away being all…Lindsey, Kirk brings his teenage son Theodore on to talk about the joys of…SPAM? It turns out Theo is a staunch defender of “The Miracle Meat,” so much so that he even coined the title of this episode. The two discuss why SPAM gets such a bad rap, why are people so freaked out about it, how great it goes with, well, almost anything, weird SPAM combos, weird SPAM flavors, and then father and son cook up a batch of a “Scientifically Processed Animal Matter” flavor they’ve never tried before. Will it keep them on T...2022-07-271h 08

Food Fight!It’s Bloody Mary O’Clock! (with Kelly Wallace-Barnhill)Nobody…and we mean NOBODY…loves Bloody Marys more than Lindsey Gentile and Kelly Wallace-Barnhill. So Kirk invited them over for some grilled chicken tacos, some homemade salsa with restaurant-style tortilla chips, and all the Bloody Marys the two besties can handle. The three discuss what makes a good Bloody Mary, are they only good for brunch, best/worst pairings with food, what else can you use besides vodka (or tomato juice), and why the hell do today’s Bloody Marys have so much damn garnish? Then Linds, Kels, and Kirk see who can make the best Bloody Mary based...2022-07-201h 41

Food Fight!Brownies Deserve More Love Than We Are Giving ThemWho doesn’t like a brownie? Weirdos, that’s who. That being said, despite being amazing, it kinda feels like brownies don’t get as much love as other desserts. So on this week’s episode, Kirk and Lindsey dedicate an entire episode to this underrated gem and debate which flavors pair best with a brownie, are they as good as cookies or cake, edge vs. center, chewy vs. fudgy vs. cakey, brookie vs. brownie, do nuts really belong in brownies, are fruit-filled brownies even worth eating, and the dumbness of brownie bites and brownie brittle. Then Kirk tries a famous...2022-07-131h 15

Food Fight!Casseroles: Hipster, Old-Fashioned, or White Trash?Casseroles get made fun of but, at the same time, everyone eats them. That sounds like the perfect recipe for a Food Fight! episode, doesn’t it? So this week Kirk and Lindsey are taking a big heaping spoonful of casserole, debating which ones are comforting, which ones are garbage, do casseroles make the best leftovers, what can really be called a casserole, and since casseroles are so 1970s, would you eat a casserole at a swinger’s party? And then the two play a game that Kirk totally made up at the very last minute: Is this casserole hips...2022-06-291h 01

Food Fight!‘Hey, How Come People Don’t Have Dip for Dinner?’Who said that? Well, you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out, cause this week Kirk and Lindsey are talking dip! They argue personal favorites, what truly can be called a dip, best/worst snack dippers, best/worst veggie dippers, and is “double-dipping” really that much of a crime? Then Kirk tells the story of the best-tasting dip experience he’s ever had that will either sound delicious or it will haunt your dreams.Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk PynchonTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonEmail us: ...2022-06-151h 12

Food Fight!Bubble and Squeak, Nik Naks, Jam Roly Poly, and…Spotted Dick? (With Sze Wing Leong-Simpson)British food at times might get unfairly dunked on for not being very good, but with names like Bubble and Squeak, Nik Naks, Jam Roly Poly, Discos, Bangers and Mash, and (of course) Spotted Dick, it definitely wins for most enjoyable names to say. Of course, Kirk and Lindsey are total dumb-dumbs when it comes to British cuisine, so this week they’ve asked Kirk’s good friend (and bonafide Brit) Sze Wing Leong-Simpson to come on the show and school them on the fine art of English yummies, what’s tasty, what’s not, and are British food names re...2022-05-181h 12

Food Fight!Food Fight Trivia Contest, Pt. II: The Reckoning (With Kelly Wallace-Barnhill)Earlier this year, Kirk and Lindsey held the very first Food Fight Trivia Contest, inviting frequent guest (and Lindsey’s co-host on the hilarious podcast, ‘F*ck You, I’m Smarter’) Kelly Wallace-Barnhill on to the show to compete. (Kirk won.) So now the three are back at again with a second installment! (Kirk won the first one.) The competition gets even fiercer as Lindsey, Kelly, and Kirk (who won the first time) test their food knowledge on food topics ranging from bread and BBQ to veggies and wine, and more. Who will come out victorious? (Again, Kirk won the first time...2022-05-111h 40

Food Fight!Yes, Gum’s Considered a Food (So We Gonna Talk ’Bout It)The FDA classifies gum as a food, so why not spend this week’s episode having pointless and unnecessary arguments about it? Kirk and Lindsey talk about how gum is much more important to you as a kid, how mints are better than gum, what’s the best Wrigley gum, Bubble Yum vs. Bubblicious vs. Hubba Bubba, was Fruit Stripe gum all that, and is Juicy Fruit the worst effing gum on the planet? Then Lindsey sees how long gum lasts before it loses its flavor and Kirk tries a gum that’s been around since 1884 that basically scars him fo...2022-05-041h 15

Food Fight!Which Casual Dining Restaurant Chain Should Be the “Last Chain Standing”?We’ve all been to casual dining restaurant chains, but do we really like them? Really? That’s what Kirk and Lindsey will be discussing this week, as the two dig into the sameness of the restaurant chains, what to order, what definitely not to order, should you take a date to a chain restaurant as an adult, and are they sadder if they are attached to a mall? And then Kirk and Lindsey play the Elimination Game, taking out individual casual dining chains one by one until there is only a single chain restaurant left standing. (Teaser: Kirk’s firs...2022-04-271h 06

Food Fight!Kirk Helps Lindsey Plan Her Wedding Dinner Menu!It’s coming up on that time of the year…WEDDING SEASON! (Okay, maybe that much excitement for wedding season is a smidge much.) But, tis the season, and since Lindsey is in the middle of planning her own wedding (yikes), she and Kirk decided to talk — wedding dinners. The two debate what they want and don’t want to see on a wedding menu, is the food at a wedding even that important, how much pleasing of the guests do you really need to do, and how weird or different can you get with a wedding dinner. And not only...2022-04-061h 27

Food Fight!Flashback Episode: When Kirky Met LindseyKirk went on a family vacation to San Francisco, and while he ate ALL of the food in the city, he decided to take a little break and not record any of it. (We all make choices.) So instead, we've decided to flashback to nearly two years ago to the very first episode Kirk and Lindsey ever did. What did they debate? Sandwiches. Come see where the love and, more importantly, the fighting began!Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk PynchonTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonEmail us: foodf...2022-03-301h 29

Food Fight!Can I Interest You in a Salad Smoothie?Juice and smoothies are more than just drinks…they are a lifestyle. But should they be consumed with actual meals? That’s just one of the topics Kirk and Lindsey debate on this juice/smoothie episode, along with if juicing is really worth it, how awful grape juice is, which orange juice brand would you F, Marry, or Kill, are smoothies really just adult milkshakes, which fruit is the “flavor bully” in a smoothie, would either of them try a meat smoothie (yes, it’s a thing), and then Kirk tries to sell Lindsey on the concept of a salad smoo...2022-03-231h 10

Food Fight!We’re Having A Pierogi (And Prosecco) Party!!!After talking about it forever, after many scheduling conflicts, Food Fight! is finally having a pierogi (and Prosecco) party! Kirk, Lindsey, Kelly Wallace-Barnhill from ‘F*ck You, I’m Smarter,’ and Jackie Brubaker from the ‘That Girl’ podcast are all here to learn how to make pierogi from Kirk’s wife, Ann. (Who in turn learned how on the Internet.) This episode is filled with pierogi-making tips, pierogi facts, pierogi quizzes, lots of pierogi eating, and copious amounts of Prosecco. Kirk’s kids even deign to come down from their rooms to eat pierogi and talk trash about their dad, cause it a...2022-03-091h 05

The two debate Wheat Thins vs. Triscuits, cheese crackers vs. peanut butter crackers, does everything taste good on a Ritz, should Goldfish be considered crackers, are keto crackers worth it, and how crackers with raisins...2022-03-021h 16

Food Fight!Whose Bar Would You Rather Eat In?Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileExecutive Producer: Kirk PynchonProducer/Engineer: Andrew PriceTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonDescription: We all know that the sole purpose of bar food (aka, “pub grub”) is to get us all to drink more and, frankly, we ain’t mad at that. Well, sometimes Kirk and Lindsey are, depending on what type of bar food the two are shoving down their gullet. The two discuss if pizza, hot dogs, and sandwiches can really be considered bar food, does bar food taste better when you are ph...2022-02-231h 04

Food Fight!It’s Our 100th Episode…So Let’s Eat STEAK!Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileExecutive Producer: Kirk PynchonProducer/Engineer: Andrew PriceTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonWhat better way to celebrate the 100th episode of Food Fight! than having Lindsey come over to Kirk’s on a Saturday night to eat some steak? (Answer: There is no better way.) So, while gorging on a full steak dinner, the two discuss the best cuts, how much of a crime is medium well, is rare steak just a flex, grilled vs. broiled vs, pan-fried, best/worst toppings, best/worst sides...2022-02-161h 10

Food Fight!Does Tayler Swift Eat Chicken Nuggets? w/Lily PynchonHosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileExecutive Producer: Kirk PynchonProducer/Engineer: Andrew PriceTheme song by: Kirk “Dad Beats” PynchonWith Lindsey on vacation in Costa Rica, the show nabs one of the hardest guests to get in the history of podcasts, with none other than Kirk’s daughter Lily gracing the show with her presence to talk about chicken nuggets.

So Kirk has brought in his teenage son, Theodore, to speak on the most basic (and most comforting?) of foods…the chicken tender. They talk best dipping sauce, worst dipping sauce, how do tenders compare to chicken nuggets, what age should you stop ordering chicken tenders, and debate whether “strips”, “fingers”, and “tenders” are the exact same thing or not. The two then road trip it to SIX...2022-01-1238 min

So for the last episode of 2021, the two recap all the episodes they did, starting all the way back with episode #43 when they talked about salad (where Kirk lost the salad-making contest), and going up to episode #93, the holiday potluck show where they discovered that egg nog tastes exactly like bubblegum (and not in the good way...2021-12-291h 18

Not only that, but this week’s show was all his idea, as Kirk and Theo are talking fast food chicken sandwiches. (So if you hate this episode…blame Theo.) The two go on a fast food chicken sandwi...2021-12-0139 min

Food Fight!Kirk & Lindsey Get RAWFor this very “special” (aka, “ridiculous”) episode, Kirk and Lindsey went on a three-day raw food diet, where they ate nothing but raw fruits, raw vegetables, and raw nuts…for all of their meals…for 72 hours. NOTHING ELSE. Why? We’re not sure. But they did and they are here to talk about what it was like, what they ate, how they felt, was it worth it, what did they miss most, would they do it again, and just how much farting went on for those three days.Email us at foodfightthepodcast@gmail.comFollow instagram.com/y...2021-11-031h 08

Food Fight!Filipino Food: Come For The Pork…Stay For More Pork!As mentioned MANY times on the show, neither Kirk nor Lindsey are food experts. And nowhere is that more apparent than on this week’s episode, where they talk about Filipino food. When it comes to the food of the Philippines, Kirk is super basic and Lindsey…well…Lindsey tries. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t enjoy it, cause Filipino food is tasty AF. So Kirk and Lindsey take a dive (albeit a shallow one) into the underrated Asian cuisine, discussing why it’s so hard to find, what the deal is with banana ketchup, how lumpia is be...2021-10-271h 08

Food Fight!Sourdough Bread Is A Fickle B**ch w/Carlos PerezWhile Lindsey is on vacation doing…Lindsey things…Kirk decides to have his old friend Carlos Perez (from the Peruvian episode) over to school Kirk on the art of making homemade sourdough bread. Full transparency: Carlos tried to teach Kirk the fine art of sourdough bread-making months ago, even going so far as to give him some of his precious mother dough, but Kirk f’ed it up so bad that he had to throw it away (which is an actual crime in the eyes of many). But this time Carlos is here to right the ship, and they not on...2021-10-201h 13

Food Fight!Fine Dining Food Auction, Pt. III: The Final Throw Down20 episodes ago, Kirk and Lindsey did their first fine dining food auction. It failed. 10 episodes ago, they did their second fine dining food auction. It was…meh. Now, despite multiple protests from Lindsey, the two are doing ONE MORE auction to see who can come up with the best seven-course, fine dining menu. Who will win? Will they get it right this time? And will Kirk stick to his promise of this being the final one?Email us at foodfightthepodcast@gmail.comFollow instagram.com/yummyFollow Lindsey: instagram.com/lindseygentileHo...2021-10-0651 min

Food Fight!Food Fight Food Fest Field Trip #1!Every Sunday in downtown LA there is a food festival called Smorgasburg, so Kirk, Lindsey, Kirk’s family, and friend of Food Fight! (and Lindsey’s co-host of the very funny podcast, F*ck You, I’m Smarter) Kelly Wallace-Barnhill check it out in the very first Food Fight Field Trip! They eat food, judge food, explore Smorgasburg, eat more food, judge more food, offer food fest tips, eat even more food, judge even more food, and Lindsey & Kelly make fun of Kirk’s jeans.

Food Fight!Pot Luck Dinner and Slumber Party Stomach w/Kelly Wallace-BarnhillIt’s time for the first ever Food Fight Pot Luck Dinner!

And not only do they feast on tons of yummy pot luck food (SO MUCH FOOD), the three dive deep into the social aspects of pot luck dinners, debating such topics as: Are random pot lucks better than themed? Is it okay to bring something not homemade? Can pot lucks be too competitive? How rude is it to actually cook your pot luck item at the host’s hous...2021-09-221h 16

Food Fight!Here’s Why Home Cooking Doesn’t Suck w/Jackie BrubakerDid you know that there is an actual fear of cooking? It’s called mageirocophobia, and while Kirk and Lindsey don’t have it, they certainly are not the most prolific when it comes to home cooking. That’s why they brought on podcaster, Youtuber, author, and home-cooking expert Jackie Brubaker to talk about it! The three discuss when is home cooking NOT home cooking, is it stressful or relaxing, what’s the hardest thing to make, what’s the easiest, expectations vs. reality when it comes to home cooking, is grilling considered cooking, and, since Jackie used to own a cupc...2021-09-151h 17

Food Fight!These Foods Belong In ‘Food Jail’Kirk and Lindsey judge food a little bit on Food Fight. Okay…A LOT. So, the two have just decided to lean into it for this episode and they’re putting on their black robes, picking up their gavels, and deciding which foods belong in “food jail.” Some of these foods are straight-up guilty (well-done steak), some are completely innocent (cilantro), and some have been falsely accused (cereal with no milk). Which foods will get pardoned, which ones will get life, and which ones will Kirk and Lindsey have to bust out of prison?Email us at foodfigh...2021-09-081h 07

Food Fight!Cuban Food: “I Want To Hurt From The Garlic”Cuban food rules. And even though Kirk and Lindsey don’t eat Cuban food often, that doesn’t stop them from having hot takes about it. The two debate plantains vs. yucca, would they eat a Cubano sandwich from a non-Cuban place, the best way to eat black beans and rice, is rum overrated, the greatness of guava & cheese strudels and how shameful it is that Lindsey doesn’t like them, and why Kirk hates…HATES…flan. Then for “How’s It Taste?“, Lindsey buys $80 worth of Cuban food while Kirk has to be talked off the ledge when he discovers the...2021-09-011h 13

Food Fight!“We’re The TOAST Of The Town!”Blame Lindsey for the title of this week’s episode if you want, but she and Kirk are talking toast this week! The two get real as they debate how burnt is too burnt, is too toasted better than not toasted enough, best and worst breads to toast, best and worst spreads to put on toast, would they eat beans on toast, and do they really eat the last end piece of toast in the bag? Oh, and Kirk reveals a childhood trauma regarding toast that just might explain why he hates onions so much. (And, again, blame Lindsey fo...2021-08-181h 14

Food Fight!Kirk Eats ChicagoLindsey is still — STILL! — on vacation, so Kirk flies solo on this mini-episode. Where’s he flying to? Chicago! Earlier this summer Kirk visited the City of Big Shoulders, a city where he lived in his early 20s and that still holds tremendous sway with him, particularly when it comes to food. So while he was there, Kirk recorded a little travelogue/food log of every single place he ate while in Chicago. And if it seems like all he did on his vacation was eat, that’s because THAT’S ALL HE DID.Email us at foodfightt...2021-08-1121 min

Food Fight!Is It Soda, Pop, Or Soda Pop?With Lindsey on vacation, Food Fight! is visited by frequent guest host (and Kirk’s teenage son), Theo Pynchon to discuss all things soda, pop, soda pop…soft drinks? Whatever you want to call it, the two debate what food goes best with soda, what food you should NEVER drink with soda, bottle vs. can, ice vs. no ice, is Cherry Coke overrated, what are the best (and worst) fruit-flavored sodas, which weird flavored sodas would they be willing to try, and then Kirk challenges Theo to see if he can taste the difference between Coke and Pepsi AND Diet...2021-08-041h 07

Food Fight!Fine Dining Food Auction Part II: This Time It’s PersonalExactly ten episodes ago, Kirk and Lindsey did a fine dining food auction to see who could create the best seven-course meal. It…did not go well. Lindsey was perfectly okay with never doing another one again. Kirk? Not so much. So, much like Hollywood giving a sequel to a movie no one asked for, they are doing it again! Will they get this fine dining food auction right this time? (Doubtful…very doubtful.)Email us at foodfightthepodcast@gmail.comFollow instagram.com/yummyFollow Lindsey: instagram.com/lindseygentileHosts: Kirk Pync...2021-07-281h 02

Food Fight!No…Seriously…What Would You Do For A Klondike Bar?We are waist-deep into summer right now, and things are mind-numbingly HOT. So why not cool off with some ice cream truck treats? That’s what Kirk and Lindsey are doing, so join them as the debate what’s the best flavor of popsicle (spoiler: it’s not grape), ice cream sandwiches vs. ice cream on a stick, bomb pops vs. firecracker pops, what’s harder on your teeth — chocolate chip cookie sandwich or chocolate frozen banana, why are cartoon-character ice cream treats so janky-looking, are Snickers ice cream bars the greatest invention ever, and Kirk makes Lindsey cringe (more so th...2021-07-211h 07

Food Fight!A Charcuterie Board, A Girl Group, And ThouKirk and Lindsey are now fully vaccinated, so to celebrate, for the FIRST TIME in Food Fight! history, the two get together in the same room to record an episode! More importantly, the two feast on a charcuterie board AND a cheese board. MOST importantly, Kirk makes Lindsey reveal all of the stories from the time she spent in a girl group called Swept Away, and when she played a Spice Girl for kids’ birthday parties. All of this is about to get DELICIOUS.Question or comment? Email us at foodfightthepodcast@gmail.comFollow instagram.co...2021-06-231h 12

Food Fight!Fact: Cold Leftovers Taste Better Than Reheated LeftoversNo one likes leftovers more than Kirk (just ask him). So this episode is near and dear to his heart. For Lindsey…it’s just another day dealing with Kirk. But the two discuss why certain people don’t like leftovers, what does it say about them as human beings, can you be in a relationship with someone who won’t eat leftovers, what’s the best leftover (spoiler: it ain’t pizza), what’s the best cold leftover (spoiler: it still ain’t pizza) what’s the worst leftover, why Kirk thinks all leftovers should be consumed cold (yes, even spaghett...2021-06-091h 15

Food Fight!Coffee Talk! w/Kelly Wallace-BarnhillWho doesn’t love coffee? Well, Kirk for one. But Lindsey loves it and so does our special guest for this episode, friend of Food Fight (FOFF) and Lindsey’s co-host of the hysterical game show podcast, F*ck You, I’m Smarter, the incomparable Kelly Wallace-Barnhill! And when we says Kelly loves coffee, we mean SHE. LOVES. COFFEE. So she’s able to pick up the slack for Kirk’s dislike of coffee (weird) as the three discuss how coffee can be sexy, are coffee and cigarettes the perfect combination, is using a French Press masculine or feminine, should you...2021-05-261h 25

Food Fight!The (Failed) Food Fight Fine Dining Food AuctionTry saying that title five times fast. Hard, right? Well, it’s not as hard as coming up with a fine dining food auction. In fact, this entire episode is an exercise in futility. Kirk and Lindsey try to define what exactly fine dining is (hint: it’s not “a place where you work with memory, with art, a place where you find emotions”, an exact quote from one fine dining chef - barf), and then they talk about their fine dining experiences, Lindsey as a server and Kirk as an eater. Then the wheels come completely off when the two t...2021-05-191h 13

Food Fight!Cake 2: Electric Boogaloo w/Warren BrownOther than the way Kirk says “egg,” the debate over cake is one of the food topics on Food Fight! that has garnered the most controversy. So in order to squash those (cake) beefs, Kirk and Lindsey have brought in an actual cake expert — special guest Warren Brown! Kirk and Warren went to high school together (a long, long, LONG time ago), and they talk about how Warren went from attorney to baker to entrepreneur to author to former host of the Food Channel show, ‘Sugar Rush’ and much more. The three then dig right in and debate classic cake argum...2021-05-121h 08

Food Fight!Kirk’s “It’s My Birthday So Let Me Rant About Everything” ShowIt’s Kirk’s 51st birthday! (OUCH.) So to honor his special born day and the fact that he’s all growns up (REALLY?), Kirk has asked Lindsey to let him rant about various food controversies that are stuck in his craw. So it’s all over the place as the two debate why pizza places are cutting their slices too skinny these days, is it upsetting to have different foods touch each other, do peas belong in guacamole, what’s the proper way to make a PB &J sandwich, edge piece brownies vs. middle piece brownies, and does ketchup be...2021-05-0558 min

Food Fight!The Very First Food Fight Field Trip!On this very special episode of Food Fight! (not “special” in the “on a very special Food Fight! Kirk confronts Lindsey about the dangers of sniffing glue” sense, but you know what we mean), Kirk and Lindsey are talking Indian food! They debate which type of bread is the best, fight over the value of mango chutney, discuss why samosas are OVERRATED, how good dosas are, and how stupid they both are for not realizing what the paneer in saag paneer is. Then, for the very first time in Food Fight! history, the two go on an actual field trip to...2021-04-281h 02

Food Fight!BBQ…Cocaine…The Same?Both Kirk and Lindsey love BBQ, but both realize that, because of where they live, they have not had the best. Lindsey’s made peace with that. Kirk…not so much. So while the two dig into a little food therapy about how to enjoy BBQ without FOMO, they also debate which style of BBQ is the best, what’s the best sauce, why getting BBQ chicken instead of any other meat is just plain dumb, the wrongness of Alabama White Sauce, what sides go best with BBQ, and why, definitively, BBQ is 100% exactly like cocaine.Hosts: Kirk P...2021-04-071h 12

Food Fight!Is A Pop Tart A Pastry?Kirk feels that pastries are life. Lindsey? Not so much. So this episode immediately starts off cantankerous. Not only do they dive deep into whether a Pop Tart can be considered a pastry, but they also debate muffin vs. scone; are pastries better at breakfast, for dessert, or as a snack; are macarons prettier than they are tasty; does a pastry have to be sweet to be called a pastry; and Kirk describes his ultimate pastry fantasy. Will Lindsey support it?Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk PynchonProducer/Engineer: Andrew Price 2021-03-311h 11

Food Fight!Seafood…Fancy AND Sexy?The great thing about seafood is that it can be basic, it can be fancy, and it can be sexy; it’s the food equivalent of the little black dress. Kirk and Lindsey dive (see what we did there?) into the topic of seafood, debating if shrimp cocktail is the “California Roll” of seafood; are cheddar biscuits the best thing to eat at Red Lobster; what’s better — crab or lobster; paella vs. jambalaya; and is caviar overrated. Meanwhile, Lindsey is unclear if shrimps actually have heads, while Kirk encourages everyone to suck the heads of any and all shellfish...2021-03-241h 19

Food Fight!Is Denny’s Really A Diner? (With Mike Beyer!)Lindsey is out of town this week, so Kirk decides to bring in the legendary Mike Beyer —the man who once ate sushi with orange juice— to talk about diner food! Kirk and Mike grew up together in Cleveland and lived together in Chicago, home to some of the best diners in the country. Kirk and Mike discuss their love of the 1982 movie ‘Diner’ which influenced their love of the diner lifestyle, then debate what’s the best thing to order at a diner, what not to order at a diner (looking at you, fish), is a diner better at breakfa...2021-03-101h 18

Food Fight!Kirk Does Not Like Lindsey’s Popcorn WaysKirk thinks popcorn is fine, but loves lots of different flavors. Lindsey loves popcorn, but only likes a few flavors. Will the two even come close to finding a common ground when it comes to popcorn? Ummm…kinda. The two debate whether it’s better one kernel at a time or by the fistful, which shape of popcorn is the best, is using movie butter on your popcorn a sin, what’s better - burnt or half-popped, what’s the best add-on to your popcorn (answer: it’s ALWAYS peanut M&Ms), and then the two go over a long list...2021-03-031h 14

Food Fight!Korean Fried Chicken The BEST Fried ChickenKorean food may not be everyone’s “go-to” Asian cuisine, but Kirk and Lindsey are here to fight the naysayers cause it’s actually friggin’ great. The two talk about the genius of Korean fried chicken, discuss if bibimbap is the “gateway drug” to Korean food, argue tips on eating Korean BBQ, debate if the tofu in soft tofu stew is TOO soft, fight over the best banchan side dishes, question the sanity of drinking a Soju Bloody Mary, and Lindsey gets all salty as she continually makes fun of the way Kirk says, “egg.”Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey...2021-02-241h 09

Food Fight!Why Does Kirk Hate Ice Cream?This episode has been a long time coming, mainly because of the fact that Kirk has so many issues surrounding ice cream. With the help of his food therapist Lindsey, the two dig into why he doesn’t like eating ice cream anymore, as well as a few “traumatic” ice cream stories from Kirk’s past. They also debate plain or sugar cone, Ben & Jerry’s vs. Häagen-Dazs, how many different flavors are acceptable before it becomes too much, would you eat a sundae as an adult, are Drumsticks worth it, and how many samples should you be allowed to...2021-02-101h 17

Food Fight!Should an Adult Say Pizza Is Their Favorite Food?Who doesn’t love pizza? Well, maybe weirdos who hate flavor, but for the rest of us, pizza is EVERYTHING. But should you call pizza your “favorite food”? That’s just one of the many things Kirk and Lindsey fight over in this episode, along with how many toppings is too much, should chicken go on pizza, how bad is Hawaiian pizza, should Chicago deep dish even be called pizza, what’s more important - cheese or sauce, which chain pizza sucks the least, is a knife and fork allowed, and Kirk gets his feelings hurt because Lindsey has never seen...2021-02-031h 23

Food Fight!Do NOT Sleep on Peruvian Food! w/Carlos PerezPeruvian food can often be overlooked and, frankly, that’s a damn crime. It’s SO good! That’s why Kirk and Lindsey (who has eaten a ton of Peruvian food but for some reason can’t remember the names of what she’s eaten…or when she’s eaten them…or even where) have brought in Kirk’s buddy from high school, Carlos Perez, to discuss the joys of this amazing cuisine. The three discuss if lomo saltado is the Peruvian gateway food, is bistek ala pobre the greatest food mashup ever, would any of them actually eat guinea pig, what t...2021-01-271h 26

Food Fight!The Best (and Worst) Food to Get in a Mall Food CourtMost malls aren’t open (cause, you know, pandemic), but that doesn’t stop Lindsey and Kirk from arguing (and reminiscing) about mall food courts. We not only learn about what the two were like as teenagers (Lindsey was a bad ass, Kirk…not so much), but the two also debate if Hot Dog on a Stick is even worth it, is Sbarro the saddest pizza ever, can it be called a mall food court if there ISN’T a Panda Express, Auntie Anne’s vs. Wetzels Pretzels, is Cinnabon like a drug, what exactly is a Dippin’ Dot, and for a ve...2021-01-201h 21

Food Fight!What’s More Important? The Frosting or the Cake?Cake is such a special food that you need more than Kirk and Lindsey to talk about it, so they brought in frequent guest host Theodore Pynchon to help! The three debate frosting vs. cake, does cake taste better in a square or in a triangle, does fruit belong in cake, how much does fondant suck, is ice cream and cake THAT good of a combo, and Kirk fesses up and reveals some important information about their salad competition from the last episode!Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey Gentile (W/Special Guest Theodore Pynchon)Producer: Kirk Pynchon 2021-01-131h 19

Food Fight!Who Makes The Best Salad — Kirk or Lindsey?Homer Simpson once said, “You don’t win friends with salad.” And he was definitely right when it comes to Kirk and Lindsey, who can barely agree on anything when it comes to salad. The two bicker over the best type of lettuce, overrated and underrated veggie toppings, does shredded cheese belong on salad, are croutons necessary, which salad dressings are absolute garbage, and, for the first time in Food Fight! history, Kirk and Lindsey hold a salad-making contest to see who makes the tastiest (and tastiest looking) salad!Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Lindsey GentileProducer: Kirk P...2021-01-061h 22

Food Fight!Is Pad Thai the Gateway Drug to Thai Food?How much do Kirk and Lindsey love Thai food? So much that they can barely agree on it! The two debate if Pad Thai is basic, which is the best Thai curry, is Thai soup worth it, how addicting is Thai tea, is the best Thai food from hole-in-the-wall joints, and then they both try Thai desserts they got for each other, which turns out to be a total nightmare for Kirk.

Food Fight!Should Pie Be More Popular?It seems like everyone enjoys pie, and yet, it’s kind of the neglected child in the dessert family. Kirk and Lindsey dig in and discuss why, along with arguing about which is better — cream pie or fruit pie, does ice cream belong on pie, is eating pumpkin pie in any other season other than Fall weird (spoiler: IT IS), are McDonald’s apple pies actually good, and Kirk freaks out when he discovers that Lindsey has never eaten a chocolate cream pie.

Food Fight!Is Panda Express Good Chinese Food? w/ Theodore PynchonLindsey is on vacation, so Kirk’s son Theo has weaseled his way back on the podcast again to take her place and talk about Chinese food! The two debate the value of Panda Express, play the “yay or nay” game with the most popular Chinese meals, argue the proper way to eat a fortune cookie, discuss best/worst dim sum, and the two try takeout from a nearby Chinese joint to see if it will be delicious or a train wreck.Hosts: Kirk Pynchon & Theodore PynchonProducer: Kirk PynchonProducer/Engineer: Andrew Price 2020-12-021h 12

Food Fight!What’s More Important at Thanksgiving? The Sides or the Bird?Happy Thanksgiving! Kirk and Lindsey are talking turkey about possibly the most important dinner of the year.
