from Focused on Nothing · host Ted and Nick
Welcome back! This week hosts Nick and Ted continue the conversation on their first food conspiracy! MSG...is it good? Is it bad? It is certainly delicious., and very possibly best served on tortilla chips. Taco Works wrote us back! It seems they are glad we enjoy their chips = ). This week we get into all of the "research" that went into 'researching' this wonder spice, and it's a wild ride. If you haven't heard part I jump back an episode and dive in! If you have...thank you and enjoy!As always, intro music prod.
