New episode OUT NOW!! All good things must end, and so must things that are less good, such as the Springfood, MO Revival. On the last episode--for now--Dan and Andy show up late to a date with destiny as they finally review Hemingway's Blue Water Cafe, the wildly expensive restaurant inside the most iconic place in Springfield, Bass Pro Shops. Later, scores are settled from earlier revival episodes as Cole Simmons of the band Mint Fatigues calls into the show, and Nicole Noonan of the band stops by to hash out a grudge with Dan. More surprises after that, but c'mon, you can guess what happens at the end of the ep, right?

Sarah talks about quitting her day job. Nate talks about getting hit by a car. Later, Dan sings some vegan New Year's songs, and then some actors who were rejected for roles in The Bear stop by to share their audition tapes. Or something. Andy and Dan kiss.

New episode OUT NOW!! For week three of the Springfood Revival, Dan & Andy review George's Family Restaurant, a 50-year-old late-night diner that features one of the show's more surprising history segments. Your hosts also discuss how much they miss--and/or don't miss--doing a restaurant review every week, and Dan shares how his Springfield dining habits have changed after finishing the show's initial 200-episode run. After reviewing George's, there's a new segment in which Andy shares some complicated feelings about the First Meal he had upon his return to Springfield--at a beloved restaurant that has undergone some major changes over the past couple years. Then, later, in a radical shock to the show's format, a special guest drops by.

Earthfood, MO is a podcast about chain restaurants around the world. The first episode as 12:00 a.m. CT on Tuesday, September 27! Subscribe anywhere: https://pnc.st/s/springfood-mo?align=right

Dan lives in Missouri. Andy lives in China. We'll be eating at the same chain restaurants 8,000 miles apart and reviewing them, highlighting the often wild variations between the food and the overall dining experiences. Mostly we'll be catching up and goofing around because we miss each other and even sometimes kind of miss working on something together.

Earthfood, MO episodes will come out whenever we feel like making them, and never--and we mean NEVER--when we don't.
