How about a show where you discuss well tales of food. you discuss weird food and food related storys and tridtions.

Like Chicago Style Hotdogs for example. They have mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish, dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt; sometimes, but not always, cucumber slices. The thing is that it is [size=150][color=#FF0000]Absoulty Forbiden [/color][/size]to but ketchup on a Chicago Style hotdog and if you do you'll go stright to hell. well not reall but I don't know what would happen.

Not sure if this has already been talked about (I'm catching up on past episodes) but what about the myth (I hope) where food from plates is returned to the bar at buffets.

I have heard it a lot over the years, especially about a local Chinese restaurant which is no longer in business. It was a rumor while I was in college & then after the place closed it was even more of a rumor! No news story or any factual evidence to back it up, just the rumor mill.

Speaking of weird food, when & who determined that certain foods would be breakfast foods, yet everything else is ok for lunch OR dinner? Weird.
