About this episode

"The biscuit is just a vessel." - MattThe See Food Diet gang— Bob, Kate, and Matt — are back with a jam-packed episode centered entirely around food adventures, nostalgic restaurants, and everything in between. The episode follows the crew on a "hilltop food adventure" — a two-stop local outing that had them buzzing. First, they hit Mean Mugs Wings and Things, a hidden gem tucked inside an AmVets hall on Broad Street, where house-made sauces (especially the signature sauce), tender boneless wings, and cheese cubes had everyone raving. They crowned it a 10/10. Then it was over to Hilltop Dairy Twist, a recently-reopened soft serve spot near Camp Chase, where a peanut butter milkshake was declared better than Mona's and an apple crisp sundae hit all the right notes. The episode wraps up with a deeply nostalgic conversation about beloved Columbus restaurants that no longer exist — Italian Oven, Damon's, the Kahiki, Max and Irma's, Fuddruckers, and more — plus a rapid-fire media segment covering Ted Lasso, Taskmaster, American Horror Story, a New York Times vegetarian cookbook, and some music takes that range from warm to brutally honest.
