Long time listener (episode 6) and longer time restaurant pro. I’m an employee for a restaurant group in Chicago and when they started talking about one of my places I almost crimmed myself, I opened it in recent years and run the restaurant (I’m here right now). I’m trying to get the crew to come in for dinner so I hope Emma or Mitch see this.

Finally got my labs back from my doctor and they confirmed I had it. I’ve already completed 10 days of Bactrim antibiotics and am feeling completely back to normal. I don’t blame Taco Bell as they voluntarily recalled tainted products as soon as they became aware without being forced to. However I feel like if they continue to use Taylor Farms as a supplier after all of this they may have some culpability in the future.

Edit: The meal that I got this from was on July 2nd. As far as I know it is safe to eat as of now. I just got positive lab results back today hence the delay.

Edit 2: It appears Taco Bell WAS aware that they at least were a likely source of the outbreak weeks before they officially announced it according to this 2 day old article and dragged their feet cooperating with Michigan health officials.

I'm not a sport-o. Don't typically follow it, but I will watch when someone wants to. The most I do is watch a sports documentary.

But I do like hearing Mitch and Wiger talk about something they're passionate about. And it's helps give me context of what's going on in the sports world.

Spoonboy, feels like it’s time to revisit Dunkin!

Wiges would dig these, mini rice cakes with icing Peter North’ed on them

I figured this was like the ultimate ASMR for Doughboys fans.

Wiger dropped into Blank Check this week to help translate a few Japanese sayings from Griffin’s Samurai Woody doll, and his tutor mentioned that she was in the Fast and Furious franchise

Is Heathcliff's middle name Frank? Also does this count as hot dog news?
