The See Food Diet

"I felt like I was being nuked." - KateKate and Bob (without Matt, who's off coaching youth baseball) host a delightfully chaotic episode centered around food adventures and snack taste tests. Bob recaps his birthday international food crawl, which included a last-minute pivot after finding Martha's Fusion Kitchen closed, leading them to discover Watan Cafe & Roastery — a Palestinian-owned gem in Hilliard, Ohio serving house-made Turkish delight-style candies, lemon pistachios, roasted nuts, and stunning chocolates. They also hit up a Mexican restaurant on Hayden Run Road and celebrated with a show-stopping vegan black chocolate cinnamon roll cake made by Vanessa, which completely won over even the biggest skeptics in the room.The second half of the episode turns into a full-on snack gauntlet featuring candies from Watan, Squashies (cherry cola, bubble gum, and strawberry cream varieties), Peelers fruit candies in pineapple, grape, and kiwi, Japanese-style light cheesecakes from Sunrise Market, and Turkish Pop cakes. The verdicts range from enthusiastic love (kiwi Peelers with chia seeds, strawberry cream Squashies) to outright horror (cherry cola Squashies taste like stale homemade soda, the grape Peelers feel like larvae). The duo also recalls the catastrophic Buffalo soda disposal incident from the previous episode, which apparently mushroom-clouded out of the drain.The episode wraps with a lively check-in on the hosts' ongoing 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die challenge. Bob has been suffering through Bad Brains, The Who's "Tattoo" lyrics , and a Tortoise marimba instrumental, while Kate accidentally discovered she loves Bad Company and is eagerly anticipating The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill as her daily pick. They also geek out over watching Coachella livestreams, the new Noah Kahan, Madonna's surprise appearance with Sabrina Carpenter, and Spotify's AI music illness roast feature.

"It tastes like dust in a bottle." - KateThe See Food Diet Podcast returns for a lively, snack-heavy episode that kicks off with Kate and Bob catching up on recent food adventures before diving into a full snack tasting session. The episode opens with chatter about Helen's Heavenly desserts — a local bakery sensation with a dedicated line of followers — covering flavors like blueberry, coconut, strawberry, and a slightly bitter mango. From there, the hosts commiserate over a disappointing Buffalo Wild Wings black bean burger experience, wax poetic about the futuristic joy of veggie burgers, debate the regional names for sandwiches (sub? hoagie? grinder? hero?), and rave about beloved local spots like Moon Bowls, and the Dublin North Market food vendors.The second half of the episode shifts into full snack-tasting chaos as the hosts work through a lineup that includes a Flora fiber brownie batter bar, a peanut butter and jelly soda, a buffalo wing soda, a ranch dressing soda, TikTok-famous fruit bucket ice cream bon bons, and fried chicken-shaped waffle cone ice cream. The sodas range from "dust in a bottle" to "cayenne kick to the chest," while the fruit bucket ice cream earns near-universal praise — especially the grape and peach flavors. The fried chicken ice cream gets points for creativity but loses marks on texture.The episode wraps up with the hosts sharing what they've been watching and reading lately, including *Taskmaster* (new season!), *Rooster* on HBO Max, *Margot's Got Money Problems* on Apple TV, and Grady Hendrix's horror-comedy novel *My Best Friend's Exorcism*. There's also a delightful detour into Welsh accents, Duolingo language learning, and a TikTok bar game account. The vibe throughout is warm, rambling, genuinely funny, and deeply food-obsessed — exactly what fans of the show come for.

"There are times when your dinner decisions are just on a death spiral." - BobBob and Kate are back flying solo (again) without their third co-host Matt, who's sick (RIP Matt). The duo dives straight into their weekly food adventures with the energy of two friends debriefing after a long week. Highlights include a redemption arc at Mod Pizza (Alfredo sauce, plant-based sausage, and a strawberry lemon no-name cake), a disastrous dinner detour through Gahanna that ended in a tragic side salad at Massey's, and a surprisingly solid visit to Der Dutchman buffet — dust-flavored broccoli casserole aside. Kate raves about Weiland's deli, Parlor Donuts' poppable jelly donuts make a return appearance, and Little Lady Soft Serve gets a passionate unsolicited plug for their rotating sundae specials.The second half of the episode shifts into a lively discussion about breaking out of a food rut, riffing on internet tips like "try a new ingredient," "theme nights," and "reverse meal planning." Bob and Kate ruthlessly — and hilariously — evaluate each tip against their actual lives, concluding that their real rut isn't the food itself, it's everything that happens *before* they get in the kitchen. The conversation sprawls delightfully into processed food discourse, the 2008 financial crisis birthing hipster urban farming culture, the horrors of accidentally buying vegan Easy Mac, and a genuinely intriguing TikTok recipe for a whole butter-stuffed onion that may or may not appear on next week's episode.The whole thing wraps with a spontaneous plan to do a west side Columbus food day, visit Briggs Road Market for flavor twists, and hit up a mystery VFW-adjacent wing spot Matt recommended. The vibe throughout is warm, funny, and exactly like eavesdropping on two food-obsessed friends at a diner booth who never really want to leave.

"You don't have to roll the R in 'burrito." - BobBob, Kate, and Matt are back behind the mic for another gloriously chaotic episode of the See Food Diet Podcast, recorded this time at the Burns Family Estate while Matt dog-sits. The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the food they've been eating — from a pretzel power ranking across youth sports tournament venues, to the shocking news that Frisch's Big Boy may still be alive and kicking in Springfield and Cincinnati. Kate shares her adventures tracking down a beloved Chinese restaurant from her Miami University days, and Matt mourns the closure of the legendary China Bell while celebrating the soft-serve tub he got to take home. The trio also debates the merits of hot pretzels, flavor burst ice cream, Portillo's hot dogs, and the ideal spread of five-to-seven hot dogs at a baseball game — including one corn dog.The second half of the episode takes a wild and wonderful detour into the world of AI-generated fruit drama videos on TikTok, where anthropomorphized strawberries are having affairs with Chocolatina, eggplants are committing crimes, and fat potatoes are getting revenge makeovers. They debate which fruit they'd want to be in an AI video (Matt lands on banana, Bob goes mandarin orange for the smell), and genuinely cannot stop scrolling. From there, the conversation wanders into what your food order says about your personality — barbecue wing people are unbothered classics, plain burger people are picky babies, and anyone ordering donkey sauce wings at Roosters is either a performative male or someone who deeply regrets their life choices.The episode wraps up with tangents about restaurant Italian pronunciation, the French-German TikTok couple who roast each other's accents, Bob's disastrous attempt at making black bean tofu from scratch (he threw it all away after one bite), Tequila Dan the legendary Cheddar's server, and the surprisingly good UK edition of Saturday Night Live. It's a perfectly unhinged hour of food opinions, TikTok rabbit holes, and genuine friendship energy.---## KEYWORDS- Super Dive Podcast- Frisch's Big Boy- Youth sports tournament pretzels- AI fruit TikTok videos- Flavor burst ice cream- Tryin Bell closure- Portillo's hot dogs- Chicago-style hot dog- Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen- Tequila Dan- Black bean tofu fail- Sonic pretzels- Roosters donkey sauce wings- Cincinnati food scene- Sunrise Market Columbus- Italian food pronunciation- What your food order says about you- 9-9 baseball challenge- SNL UK edition- Olive Garden bread sticks

"I took a bite and my teeth revolted." - BobWhat happens when two friends reunite on a casual podcast after weeks apart due to a chaotic move and busy schedules? Pure, unfiltered food-obsessed chaos — and we are *here* for it. This episode kicks off with a hilarious moving disaster story involving two trucks, 120 storage bins (not the 60 originally estimated), a second-day mover, and a final bill that was more than double the quote. From there, the hosts dive deep into their current food situations: one navigating a "loosely vegetarian" lifestyle with strategic bacon exceptions and a growing love for Indian food, the other eating "trash" post-move and mourning the distance from their favorite restaurants. The episode reaches peak energy during an extended complaint session about two recent dining catastrophes — an ungodly ladle of garlic mayo dumped on a Middle Eastern bowl and a beignet so texturally offensive it made someone's teeth "revolt" and their "whole body want to disintegrate into dust."The second half is a snack-fueled joy ride through limited edition M&M flavors (lemon meringue pie, peanut butter cinnamon roll, and a wildly divisive Dubai-style birthday cake chocolate bar), a passionate debate about walnut redemption arcs via modern breeding science, and deviled potato plans for Easter. The hosts also geek out over their progress with the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die generator app, trading hot takes on everything from David Bowie to Public Enemy to The Clash — with plenty of one-star reviews handed out along the way. The episode wraps with thoughts on the new Harry Styles album, the Oscar films they finally finished watching (shoutout to Kate Hudson in *Song Sung Blue*), the new Harry Potter TV show trailer, and a Forrest Gump tangent that somehow nobody saw coming.The overall vibe is exactly what it promises to be: a loose, casual hang between two people who genuinely love talking about food, music, and the absurdity of everyday life. No agenda, no structure, just good energy and a deeply felt hatred of bad beignets.

"I think that automatically makes you some kind of pretentious. Now, could I be a foodie that's only hitting fast food? I mean, I do think I'm living that life right now." - KateBob and Kate are flying solo this week (Matt's got places to be), which means more snacks, more tangents, and zero filter.First up: Hartzler's Dairy vanilla milk gets the official taste test. Is it milk? Is it melted ice cream? Is it both? The nutrition label tells a story, and it's a sugary one.Then, a trip to the Asian grocery store that did not go as planned. Bob went looking for seitan, ended up in a deeply awkward exchange with a very patient employee, and came home with canned wheat gluten and a steak-shaped strawberry ice cream bar — which, honestly, is a win.After a quick detour through Valentine's Day brunch (tap wine mimosas: a cautionary tale) and a road trip to Missouri that included jalapeño pepper chicken, hot and sour potatoes, and a visit to the Uranus Fudge Factory, the crew cracks open a tub — yes, a tub — of local harissa hummus from Dinner Club and gives it an enthusiastic review.Then the real conversation starts: what even is a foodie? Do you have to be annoying to qualify? Is loving Qdoba disqualifying? The hosts dig into the label, the baggage that comes with it, and whether people who host food podcasts are allowed to dodge the title entirely.Snacks, stories, and a surprisingly philosophical detour. Pull up a pretzel crisp and dig in.

"I promise you, I’m not trying to cause problems. I’m just ordering lunch.” - VanessaA Greek restaurant that doesn’t exist. A Valentine’s Day lobster bake that absolutely does. And a bright-orange Scottish soda no one can quite explain. With special guest, Vanessa!In this episode, the crew swaps food stories that spiral fast—from ghost delivery orders and chain-restaurant disappointments to comfort cooking, meat-free experiments, and the strange magic of Irn Bru. Along the way: salty cheese debates, Super Bowl eats, Valentine’s candy hot takes, and why sometimes the meal you don’t get is the most memorable one of all.Come hungry, stay curious, and maybe double-check that your restaurant is real before you order.

“Ohio being number one in Mountain Dew consumption explains… a lot.”→ MattSnow-pocalypse eats, elite tiramisu, and some truly unhinged snack opinions. This week on the See Food Diet Podcast, we break down what we’ve been cooking, ordering, regretting, and absolutely defending—from high-protein experiments and fried chicken supremacy to caviar-flavored chips and the eternal question of diner food. Toss in Columbus food talk, winter survival snacks, and a few strong soda takes, and you’ve got a very on-brand episode. Eat along at your own risk.

"And they were like, 'Oh my god, fish sisters!'" - KateWith a winter storm looming, the See Food Diet team is prioritizing survival snacks over culinary dignity. Join Bob, Kate, and Matt as they debate whether "food maxxing" is a legitimate nutritional strategy or just a fancy word for eating tinned fish out of a box.In this episode:The Art of "Hydro-Maxxing": Matt tries to make smoked salmon and chili crisp look aesthetic for the 'gram, while the group decides that drinking water should be rebranded as high-performance "hydro-maxxing".Fish Sisters Unite: Kate shares a tale of corporate bravery involving a quiet intern, a smelly fish sandwich, and the bond of becoming "Fish Sisters" in a judgmental lunchroom.Snowstorm Essentials: Forget milk and bread. When the power stays on, Bob’s ultimate survival hack is a plate of Doritos topped with shredded cheese and microwaved for thirty seconds.Zodiac Plates: The hosts roast Reader's Digest for suggesting Aries eat spicy cauliflower and decide for themselves what foods define the stars. (Spoiler: Sagittarius is definitely Pho, and Pisces is stuck with an Acai bowl).The Year of the Horse Meat: A discussion on the Lunar New Year takes a sharp turn into medical advice as the group investigates gout, purines, and the illegality of eating horse meat.Whether you are prepping for the apocalypse with canned chicken or just trying to survive a work lunch, this episode has the "food maxxing" tips you didn't know you needed.

We're taking on the New York Times predictions for 2026. Will we all be using Grandmacore to foodmax our aesthetic sardine can share boxes at the office? Of course we will. Predictions are always right.

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.

We don't just consume food at the See Food Diet Pod! The gang also loves music and movies and tv and books. Nila and Kai again join Bob, Kate, and Matt to discuss the best of 2025. There's a little something for everyone. We begin by critiquing various snacks, specifically comparing Smarties-brand "squashies" to Barbie-themed gummies before we transition into a deep discussion of television and cinema, highlighting favorites like Andor, The Chair Company, and the horror film Weapons, while also humorously deconstructing the illogical plot of Rocky IV.A significant portion of the dialogue focuses on music recommendations. We debate the merits of specific albums and singles across genres like folk, country, and electronic pop. To conclude, we share our Spotify Wrapped statistics, revealing personal listening habits (Spotify thinks one of us is 100 years old) and our collective desire for more energetic music in the upcoming year.Our top genres include all of your favorites, like such as, #indietronica #make out #synthpop #uk pop #electro pop #alternative r&b #spooky #bubble grunge #folk #americanaWe've got playlists for our top songs and albums, so be sure to check those out, too. We don't know how Spotify works, but you can probably find them by searching Bob's username, rdmeeker, or by searching See Food Diet Podcast.

"This is an electric flavor." - MattThe See Food Diet gang welcomes Nila and Kai, newly home from college for Winter break, to eat fancy chips, sample Green Stuff, and talk about all the best things we ate in 2025.

"At least they made it taste like the flavor in chip form, but it's horrible. It's not good." – MattWelcome to the See Food Diet podcast, the show for listeners who adhere to the motto: "If you see food, eat it!" Hosts Bob, Kate, and Matt, who love to eat and talk about it, dive into their latest culinary experiences and offer essential advice for holiday shopping.In this episode, the hosts recount their recent meals, including a trip to Dayton for delicious wood-fired pizza from Old Scratch Pizza, which reminded one host of Columbus's own Harvest. They weigh in on the best scrambled egg consistency—runny versus fluffy—and review other stops like JT's Pizza and Si Senor for Peruvian sandwiches. Kate also confesses to her continued obsession with the pear-flavored moose cakes from Littleton's.The episode features an engaging "lightning round" snack tasting, showcasing unusual foods that could make great stocking stuffers. The crew samples matcha almonds, Japanese gummy candies (with the strawberry flavor declared a "big win"), Nerds Juicy gummy clusters, and soft glazed German gingerbread cookies. The adventure culminates in a taste test of international chips, including the strongly flavored Roasted garlic oyster flavor.Using this episode as your food gift guide for the Christmas season, the hosts discuss highly recommended stores such as World Market and Trader Joe's.

"Me, as a person that hates Arby's, considers it a win." - BobJoin Bob, Kate, and Matt as they discuss:What We Ate This Week:Matt shares details of a celebratory meal at Hanks, which included "amazing" she crab soup (described as lobster bisque with crab), a smoked trout dip served in a mason jar with a layer of caviar, and calamari that was "salt and old bay heavy". Kate discusses having a delicious tuna salad sandwich from Panera this week that reminded her of "Grandma Rosie", leading to a debate over the ideal tuna salad ingredients (with Bob staunchly anti-celery and onion). Bob describes food woes, detailing his disappointment with a roast beef sandwich from Milo's Deli that tasted too much like "roast beef lunch meat" and an inferior pot roast sandwich from Denny's. Bob also recounts a strange experience with an employee at a sandwich shop during his pursuit of a ham, turkey, and roast beef club. They review Dan the Baker's highly praised kimchi grilled cheese sandwich and a steak sandwich that was "incredible". The hosts also mention a few failures, including bad Chinese food and Matt's mom's "funky" Cheddar Bay crab biscuits.Special Treats (Arby's Taste Test):The hosts try three items from Arby's:Steak Nuggets: The hosts universally condemn these, with Kate declaring them "inedible" due to the amount of fat and Bob stating they taste like "poison" and should be avoided. Matt described them as tasting like "bad beef jerky" or "burnt ends".The Gobbler: This Thanksgiving-themed sandwich featured turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. While Bob, no Arby's fan, gave it a high rating for Arby's quality, the hosts generally felt the flavor combination—especially the sour and powerful cranberry—was "wrong".Apple Pie Milkshake: Kate and Matt enjoyed this, describing it as "delightful" and tasting like "apple milk with sugar". Bob, however, found it too thin and overly sweet.Holiday Prep & Media Consumption:The conversation turns to Thanksgiving, where Kate and Matt reveal that turkey is a "mediocre meat" to them. They propose alternative Thanksgiving meals, including Matt’s suggestion of a barbecue spread, Kate’s idea for a huge soup buffet, and Bob’s vision for a meat pie or Beef Wellington main dish. They also successfully plan a full Thanksgiving dinner for two with a $20 budget, prioritizing a rotisserie chicken.Finally, the hosts review what they've been watching and reading:Matt praises Ted Lasso, ranking it in his top three shows of all time.Kate recommends the British comedy Big Boys on Hulu, noting it is funny but deals with heavy themes like grief.Kate is reading the terrifying book Incidents Around the House, which is written from a child's perspective about communicating with an entity called "other mommy".Kate also discusses Lily Allen's new, "spicy" album, which acts as a "journal" detailing her recent marriage and divorce.

"It's kind of like you're having like a little pilgrim meal." - KateBob, Kate, and Matt, discuss a wide variety of food-related topics. We begin by sharing our recent meals, including pizza from Donatos and an extended conversation about wings from various restaurants like Roosters and Buffalo Wild Wings. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on Indian cuisine, with Bob describing a recent, somewhat challenging experience at a restaurant called Bawarchi Biryani and debating the merits of dishes like biryani and samosas. We share favorite vegetarian options, including a shout-out to the website shelikesfood.com. We also spend time tasting and reviewing new product flavors, such as Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry and Peanut Butter and Jelly M&M's, before closing with a philosophical discussion on historic eating habits and the feasibility of a vegetarian or vegan diet.

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 😔.

"That tasted like a new toothbrush when you first put a new plastic toothbrush in your mouth." - BrandiThis time with special guests, Tammy and Brandi!Bob and the guests discuss recent food experiences, including Bob's trip to the reopened Hunan Lion Chinese restaurant, which he disliked despite the good fried rice. Tammy recounts a poor experience at Supreme Chinese Buffet and a positive visit to a new Mexican place on Broadway near Grove City.The episode includes a taste test of new sweets, starting with cherry Jolly Rancher Stuffed Puffs and Raindrops Gummy Grapes, neither of which were popular. We also review baked goods: a homemade pumpkin spice bagel by Mom and various donuts from KKP Bakery in Grove City, which Tammy highly recommends, especially the stick donut.A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to nostalgia. We reminisce about school lunches, fondly remembering the "hot pack spaghetti" (iykyk) and sugar cookies from elementary school and quality food from high school in the '90s, while critiquing the current state of school meals (citing things like a muffin, cheese stick, and yogurt, or 700-calorie uncrustables). We also discuss local restaurants that have gone out of business, such as Mr. Philly and Green Gables, and nostalgic places that are still operating, like Schmidt's and Spaghetti Warehouse. The episode ends with a brief discussion on "grief food," such as Hostess orange cupcakes.

This episode of the See Food Diet Podcast features hosts Bob, Kate, and guest Vanessa, diving into a massive array of food reviews and cultural trends - like we do.High-End Dining and Grocery Review:The episode features an extensive review of an Omakase tasting experience at HARU near Polaris, in Columbus, detailing high-end dishes like Wagyu, fatty tuna, and a unique Japanese taco featuring barbecue eel. This luxury is contrasted with the "bougie" experience at Dorothy Lane Market (a Dayton-area locally-owned grocery store), where they recount the absurdity of the $36 parmesan-crusted chicken breasts and review items like a Turkey Reuben sandwich and chocolate cake.Product Tastings and Fast Food Frenzy:The hosts conduct an in-studio tasting of Burger King's spooky menu, which includes the violently orange jack-o'-lantern burger, monster mozz sticks, and the surprisingly popular monster sundae (complete with Pop Rocks and Oreo crumbles).

They also discuss viral food phenomena, specifically the global trend of Pudding mit Gabel (eating pudding with a fork), and try to identify the licorice-flavored herb in Pho (concluding it is likely Tarragon, but it probably Thai Basil).Culture and Competition:Non-food topics include an analysis of the intense reality competition show Love Island Games, discussing dramatic contestants like Garbi and a serious on-set injury involving a medicine ball. The episode concludes with a challenge to create a Harry Potter sorting treat to assign the hosts their houses.

Topics range from the surprising sweetness of a salted egg appetizer to the debate over whether the Old Mohawk's turtle soup contains actual turtle meat.

"It's full of dolphins, but no mercury." - BobBob, Kate, and Matt discuss their recent food-related experiences and general life updates.
