Well Fed Weekly for 9/28/26 - Candy Corn 4 Eva

“Sex is good, but not as good as fresh, sweet corn.” – Garrison Keillor

(Editor’s note: now you have to think about Garrison Keillor having sex. You’re welcome)

Hello again, Well Fed fans!

A mostly-grey week ahead for the Twin Cities, which of course means crockpots, gravies, and everything else that makes life in the Midwest worthwhile. On top of that, the majority of Halloween candy has made it’s appearance, so Evan’s all stocked up on candy corn (for the moment). Life is good (Keillor sex thoughts notwithstanding). 

Show News

As promised last week, you can find The Well Fed Guide in even more portals now! You can now find the show on YouTube Music and Amazon/Audible. Again, subscriptions are always appreciated 

Episode 822, recorded live at Burger Press & Shawarma Cart is available now to Patreon subscribers and will be available via all the usual portals tomorrow, Tuesday the 29th. We have long wanted to give something extra to our Patreon subscribers, so we are very excited to finally be doing this. 

Food News

Speaking of candy corn, now you can smell like it (and not just because you’ve eaten your weight in it like some hosts have done). 

The stalking of Gordon Ramsey across Minnesota continues, with sightings in North St. Paul, Wayzata, Big Lake and now downtown Minneapolis. 

Weird History Food does a thorough breakdown of the history of Ecto Cooler, including the unknown (to us) fact that it does not contain actual ghost particles. Makes me wonder why we even bothered. 

Horrifying Food Fact

A conversation about casu marzu at Evan’s work forced him down a maggotty rabbit hole and he wants you to come along. 

We did it! Two weeks in a row! A new streak. I’m so proud of us.
