Do you guys like Lego? Do you have any sets? My favorite set is my baby yoda set, or the Seinfeld apartment. The next one i want to buy is the Payakan set from avatar 2.

A question I’ve posted since tomorrow war month. The tomorrow store: you’re transported 30 years in the future, starving. What chain do you visit and what futuristic items do we find? P.S I work for Capital Roots, a food access non profit in upstate New York focused on providing fresh, local produce to pantries, food deserts and schools - thanks for all the laughs during some tough (and busy) years. - Della

How do the producers feel about Mitch’s Donkey Kong stylin’ those mic mounts during the video records? Which are great fun by the way.

I see and hear commercials that are always trying to make things a cultural moment with companies, or I see companies do things that have turned into a cultural norm. Like McDonald's having Brian Cox talk about eating the melted cheese out of a burger wrapper, or Five Guys and their need to put a bunch of fries in your bag. I was wondering what are some things you see restaurants do that have either turned into a thing or parts of the food experience they've tried to turn into something? Is there anything you have experienced as part of a meal that you'd want to become a thing? Thanks, love you, bye!

When I was little, my dad found a band aid in his Red Robin burger. My parents continued to go to Red Robin, so I could play the Austin Powers pinball machine they had in the lobby, but wouldn’t order any food. Is there any restaurant you go to for some thing or experience that isn’t the food? PS: A while back I wrote in to ask about what to do with a project I felt embarrassed by, and Nick responded "well we release every episode of Doughboys" and I think about it a lot because it is very funny and also helped me abandon my mentality of not sharing my work. So thanks!

Some parts of the calendar are replete with great food holidays, while other parts of the year are relatively fallow periods. What month should get a new holiday, and what should it commemorate?

Robert Ross Adler

They can turn board games, amusement park rides and now toy lines into major motion pictures. What chain would make the best movie. On the other hand, what cinematic franchise would make the best chain?

Often sports drafts get looked back on with the benefit of hindsight and analyzed/redrafted by media orgs. Now that some time has passed, is it time to redraft the oceans?

Marc Levender

Hi Doughboys! I am currently on a 3 month trip to South America and getting to try all of the different foods from each country and culture has been maybe the biggest highlight so far, if you could pick one place at the top of your list for trying the local cuisine or authentic national dish, where would you go?

Tracy Sanchez

Do you prefer drive thrus with two windows (one for paying and one for food pickup), or a one stop shop?

Hey Doughboys, Emma, Yusong and Amelia! What's the most popular food you don't like? All my friends think I'm a freak because I just don't like cheese. Only mozzarella on pizza or has a stick. I've tried all kinds of cheese but I don't like any of it. Because I'm a freak apparently. Thanks! Kevin Thibault (pronounced Tebow)

Jayce Newton

This is for Emma - I'm dying to know if you've had the boys follow up with the personal growth session that you talked about at the end of the latest Steak n Shake Emotional Extravaganza. As much as we all love the bullshit, these parasocial relationships are now so well developed that I'm emotionally invested in the wellbeing of those two. Thanks.

Schuyler Hunt

If in the future you guys opened up a Doughboys fast casual chain, what would be on the menu?

Connor Handy

In my household, once a week we will have a “fend for yourself” night. This means dinner is up to what we have in the house (no DoorDashing allowed). Wondering what you all would make, based on the things you already have in your place. We always have a block of cheddar cheese and tortillas, so I usually go for a quesadilla. It’s extra good if we have some kind chorizo or even a Cajun sausage. Surprisingly delicious in a quesadilla. Thanks, dough gang!

Edward Merritt

Hello Nick, Mitch, Emma, and Yusong, Sending through the question below from my boyfriend who was too afraid to comment this question himself! I am a new doughboys double subscriber and while listening to older episodes I noticed that the size of the hog on Michelangelo's David comes up a lot. An interesting theory is that David is sporting a shrunken hog because he was facing off against goliath and terrified. So it's not small, just experiencing some shrinkage! My question to you is what do you consider your own personal goliath, metaphorical or otherwise, that makes your hogs shrivel up? Thanks for all the laughs, Sarah (writing for Ed).

Hey Feedbag Crew! If you each could be little stinkers and remove any one item from a chain restaurant’s menu forever, which item would it be and why?

From Parts Unknown

Moral/eco issues aside, have you ever heard something about a certain type of fast food (urban legend, rumor, etc) that caused you to not eat that food at future visits? Or worse, avoid the restaurant altogether? I think the taco bell meat origin is a common one (horse, etc), but when I was an impressionable 3rd grader, I stopped eating McDonalds fries because my older brother claimed they tasted like blood.

In Neal Stephenson’s seminal cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, the federal government has collapsed to make way for territories ruled by big businesses; the protagonist initially works for one of the country’s strongest franchises, a pizza parlor run by the mafia. In the event that our government collapses, which franchise restaurants will rule the West Coast, the East Coast, the South, and the Midwest?

Mandy

Do you guys have any food regrets? Meals that you wish you'd ordered but then they took that meal off the menu or the restaurant went out of business? When you're craving both X and Y but order X and wish you'd gotten Y instead?

Andy Pederson

If the moon is really made out of cheese, what kind of cheese do you think it is?

Michael Maloney

Dear Nick, Mitch, Emma and Yusong, One of my guilty pleasures is trashy reality cooking/food shows. If y’all had your own shows what would the premise be?

Jake from MI

Is there anything you order, expecting it to be fucked up or poorly made, only because when it's done right, it's a top fast food item? For me, it's the Nachos Bel Grande from Taco Bell. Probably 9 out of 10 times, it's a mess, has a bad balance of toppings, or is just bad. But the 1 time they nail it, it's one of my favorites.

Rudy Bribiesca

Dear Doughboys Crew! I was wondering if you guys had ever eaten Hawaiian bbq before? If not…May I recommend Matikis island bbq. There is one located in the LBC. If you’re down to try. It is amazing! Love the show. Go lakers! Can you dig it!!! Spooooonman 😂

🖤Cassie🖤

What’s with Mitch and the pillow?? What’s he trying to hide from us? 👀

Terry Mc

I know you've spoken negatively on the pod before about eating outside, but I was wondering- are there any foods you specifically associate with outdoor eating, like on a picnic or a park day? For me it's a turkey sub

Philip Ehlke

Has anyone ever submitted a comprehensive(ish) list of foodservice chains in the US and measured it against your catalog? I’m guessing if you include everything from restaurants with 2+ locations to grocers and gas stations the number is in the tens of thousands.

Noah Wright

Hey boys, I am in college for television broadcasting right now, it’s going really well and you guys have always inspired me, do you have any recommendations on how to get into working in comedy when in the industry

Paul Nichols

Hey Doughboys Crew, I'm currently reading the book Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America by Marcia Chatelain, which is about, as the title suggests, the long, complex relationship between McDonald's and black communities in America. It's a really interesting read and got me wondering whether any of you have read any good books about or related to fast food or food more generally? If not, I definitely recommend Franchise. Thanks!

Alan

Wiger, will you ever set foot in Mitch’s house?

Matt G.

Hi Doughboys team, I just had Popeyes and I got two pies at the suggestion of the stoned kid working there. I think he knew I was stoned too and holy smokes they were so good. The second was reheated later but that first hot one was perfect and I even had some Pistachio ice cream to go with it. Has the best fast food desert been discussed? If not what would be your choice? Id go with Popeyes as I never think of ordering desert at a fast food place.

Clinton Colliver

Hey Doughboys, my wife is from a small area of Kentucky that calls the chili topping for hot dogs, "Hot Dog Sauce". She refuses to call it by any other name despite the rest of the world having no clue what she is referring to. Could you start a movement to call the chili topping, "hot dog sauce" so I don't have to explain to others what it means?

Crazy Makers

I have a drawer full of fast food sauce packets. What’s in your sauce drawer?

Mary Paren

What’s your perfect Valentine’s Day meal? And what is the best Valentine’s Day candy? Even though I am married my mom and dad still give me candy every year and the best candy is these cherry gummy hearts. They are big and really chewy!

Let's "pretend" you hate each other. If you could ban each other from ever consuming a single food item, which would you pick to cause the most suffering? And/Or, which food item would you force each other to eat everyday?

Turtle from Entourage

Is there a local chain (not necessarily LA-based) that you think would do well expanding nationally?

Turtle from Entourage

What are your thoughts on the term "foodie"? Personally, I think it's a classist way to say "I like to eat good food", but wondering about your take.

Turtle from Entourage

You have to move to somewhere in the US that's not LA, NYC, Chicago, or the Boston area. Where do you go based on your food preferences?

Matt Bennett

Do you have any recommendations for fans of movies and TV for people visiting LA? As longtime LA residents and people in the “biz” I can imagine you think most of the traditional touristy options in this sphere are pretty lame. I don’t want to walk Hollywood Blvd and take a picture with Elmo or ride a TMZ bus, but with a city so rich in entertainment history I’d hope you may be familiar with a cool excursion for a friend who doesn’t want to hike Eaton Canyon. Thanks, love you both.

Pierce Bauer

We gotta talk about Wendy’s price changes. Wtfuck is going on? What’re we suppose to do?

Pierce Bauer

What is the best shape for food? (For example: triangle, square, circle, etc…)

M Morris

Where are you guys at with hot drinks right now? How much coffee? Any tea or broth in your diet?

Eskas

What drew you to starting video, should we expect more visual gags?

James

If you came home to find your pets had turned into human beings is there anything they could say that would convince you that they truly are your pets?

unclegravyboat

I've worked at Costco for a while in the different fresh departments and I've made a lot of, and eaten a lot of, the rotisserie chickens. There was a story last week about David Chang "slamming" the chickens, saying they "weren't seasoned". I know for sure those chickens are like 8 percent salt so I don't know what he's talking about. How do you feel about the Costco birds and do celebrity chefs really need to weigh in on these kinds of things?

Rocky Choad

Would you ever participate in a podcast cruise?

Malcolm

This week I dropped my car off at a mechanic and when they took my keys to check it out my phone connected to the stereo and started playing a Doughboys ep. it was the drop in the KFC beyond ep where wiger talks about headbutting a woman over “Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry and I felt immense embarrassment. So my question is have you experienced a similar situation where something you privately like became public against your will?

Noah Wright

Hey boys, just wondering why you started to put out the podcast with video on YouTube? I think its amazing just wondering if you could share anything about some of the changes you guys have made in the year. About to watch Rust and Cassady’s ep now! Wow how fun to say
