205 - The Great Roast Beef Showdown: A Nearly Extinct Sandwich Gets Its Last Stand

from The Barn Philosopher · host The Barn Philosopher

Ridge walks into the barn expecting a normal episode. Instead, Shelby has a surprise waiting for him: a roast beef sandwich showdown. We're keeping the two sandwich chains a secret for now, but one is a familiar name you'll probably recognize immediately, while the other has become something of a rare bird. Shelby and Ridge put the two roast beef sandwiches head-to-head and run them through the same comparison process they've used for previous food challenges. But this isn't simply about which sandwich tastes better. The Barn Philosopher's P-Rating takes value into account by looking at how much food you're actually getting for your money. That's especially important when you're feeding a big family, a group of friends, or an entire kids' soccer team. A sandwich might taste great, but if you need to buy twelve of them to feed everybody, that's part of the equation. So which roast beef sandwich wins? Which gives you the most food for your money? And can Ridge figure out what he's eating before Shelby reveals the mystery? It's another completely unnecessary food comparison that somehow becomes serious business in the barn. Follow the show, leave a rating, and let us know what food comparison you think deserves the P-Rating treatment next.
