Evan and Dave sit down at one of the many fine eating and drinking establishments in the Twin Cities to discuss the world. All topics are fair game, from pop culture to lifestyles to philosophy to bacon. Mmm bacon.
Think the View, but with guys, beer, food, and swearing.
Favorite Well Fed Moments?
There is something to be said about not upsetting the natural balance of things. So it should come as no surprise that by planning an episode of Well Fed Guide To Life, we doomed it to fall in our laps like so much pulled pork.
Dave and I were planning on having a guest on for next week’s 100th episode of The Well Fed Guide To Life. Unfortunately our guest will not be able to make the recording this week, leaving us wondering how we can best celebrate nearly 2 years of recorded overeating. So in true lazy fashion, we are asking for your help.
What was your favorite moments on Well Fed Guide? Best stories? Great locations? Or do you have any questions for Dave and I?
Leave something in the show notes below, or email us at wellfed@fancypantsgangsters.com with your comments. We’ll read the best ones on our show next Tuesday.
Thanks for listening!
Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 99 – Like The UN In Your Mouth
Another late recorded show this week, as the guys hit another of the many local food stops that can’t seem to open on Mondays. This week, Dave and Evan cross The Anchor Fish And Chips off the list, an act that will surely leave that list greasy and smelling vaguely of fish. Over a hard plate of deep fried goodness, such important things like a guy’s 5 dishes he must be good at and how Alton Brown’s portions are too big for mere mortals are discussed. They also cover the Surly Brewing tour and the importance of spats. Clearly the grease has gotten to their brains.
And to prove there is a Yelp review for everything, here is one for Mac’s Fish And Chips.

Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 98 – A Case Of The Mondays
Just about everything related to this show was late this week. We recorded this late, released it late, and Dave is late. Mrs. Bergen, you’re going to be a grandma!
Since this was recorded on a Tuesday, when the number of open eating establishments nearly doubles over that on Monday, the guys busted out the list of Places Not Open and at the very top was the Town Talk Diner. After burning several bridges at Food Network and dealing with miffed fans, it’s a good thing this place serves stiff drinks.

Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 97 – Tastes Like Baby
I’ll be a little honest here, I’m pretty surprised we’ve gone 97 episodes without using that title.
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor drifting fish flakes will keep us from our appointed rounds, but closings might. Disproving the notion that second place is the first loser, True Thai made an fine substitution for our prefered choice (I’m not telling you where it is, in case we do it later). Dave tries something with a face, Evan eats the official sweet and sour dish of the St. Paul School System, and both of them discuss the importance of youthful bounceback in eggroll wrappers. And it could be the cabin fever, but the guys also discuss pork vs Viagra and the supposed 10 hottest women in food. Now how much would you pay?

The Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 96 – Hhhhoh-mas
It’s funny that for all the guff (that’s right, I said guff. We are in PG rated territory people) that the boys give Giada for overpronouncing words (we called the Trebek Effect), they have no problem butchering other cultures’ native tongues. Hypocrisy, thy name is Well Fed Guide!
It’s not often Minnesota is thrust onto the world stage (at least, not when it doesn’t involve some crazy local politician), so it was with great honor that Saffron head chef Sameh Wadi was recently pitted against Masaharu Morimoto in Iron Chef America. While I won’t spoil the ending for you, mostly because even Evan and Dave haven’t seen the episode yet, we can say that Saffron’s deft usage of spices and cute baby animal parts will more than likely win over the only 2 judges that matter. Now if we could only get Ted Allen on the show…
