Episode 154: Steak au Poivre (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Only the French could get away with covering a perfectly good steak in a thick, creamy sauce full of various heavy ingredients—and still making it good enough that you have to hand it to them. Noah and Louisa explore the intricacies of this impressive-looking dish. Join our Patreon! Our theme is Street Food, by FASSounds, and is governed by the Simplified Pixabay License.
Episode 153: Refried Beans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The beans so nice, they fried them twice—is what you say, when you don't know how they're actually made. Noah and Louisa talk about how that brownish-grayish scoop of paste on your taco is just the first stage in leguminous excellence. Join our Patreon!

Episode 152: Noah’s Grand Tour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Noah returns from his sojourn around the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean to tell stories of the weird creatures he encountered, the heavenly foods they eat, and the strange sights he saw. Robert Pattinson's not in this version, though. Join our Patreon! Our theme is Street Food, by FASSounds, and is governed by the Simplified Pixabay License.
Episode 151: Louisa v. Louisa (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Noah is still on his long journey home after the Trojan War (how do we feel about: The Noahmad as a title? We'll workshop it), so Louisa is home alone. After the requisite pizza party with a cardboard cutout of Michael Jordan, she sits down with herself to really get to the heart of what Louisa's whole deal is. Join our Patreon!
