"I've had the Peak sandwich." - BobSoup Season is ON! Welcome back to the See Food Diet podcast! This week, Bob and Kate dive deep into all things cozy and controversial in the food world.Highlights include:We're talking homemade soup prep! Kate has frozen Zupa Toscana (sausage, potatoes, kale), while Bob defends his creamy, homemade Chicken and Wild Rice soup with Miyataki mushrooms!Bob found the "peak sandwich"—the $17 Turkey Bacon Sammy from Dan the Baker. He called the thinner focaccia bread "perfect" and Kate raved about the breakfast sandwich and plum galette from North South Baking Company in Covington.Kate gives us a lowdown on the Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville. While the air smelled great, and the garlic dill pickles were "delicious", the "German Sundae" (German potato salad, bacon bits, sauerkraut, sour cream) was unfortunately disappointing.The Grandview Chicken Salad Chick location gets a sad review 😔. Bob encountered fruit flies and a burnt chicken salad melt, contrasting sharply with the cleaner Polaris and Westerville locations.Taste Test Alert! We tried a German Ritter Sport Milk Chocolate with Corn Flakes—surprisingly delicious and crispy!.Don't forget to check out Buckeye Pho for the ultimate P9 soup (if you're avoiding meat).Do you think White Chicken Chili should be allowed in a cookoff?
