Help! We Need a Donutologist (Plus: Why We Hate Resolutions)

from The See Food Diet Hosted by rdmeeker

Are you team "Cake Donut," "Sour Cream," or "Old-Fashioned"? In this hilarious and hungry episode of the See Food Diet podcast ("If you see food, eat it"), hosts Bob, Kate, and Matt kick off the new year with a culinary identity crisis that threatens to tear the group apart. What starts as a recap of a trip to DK Diner turns into a heated forensic analysis of donut taxonomy. Bob demands a "donutologist" to settle the score after the group fails to agree on the technical definition of a chocolate donut—is it a "sponge" like the grocery store variety, or a "craggy," glazed masterpiece? Meanwhile, Kate battles a mint chocolate chip donut that suspiciously tastes like toothpaste. Beyond the pastry controversy, the trio tackles the philosophy of the New Year. They unanimously ditch "resolutions" (a setup for failure) in favor of "goals" and "balance". Matt aims to cut back on fast food without abandoning it entirely, while Bob tries to navigate a gout-friendly diet—despite admitting he has no idea which online advice is real.
