This week, we geek out a bit on restaurant design as we go on location at McDonald's to chat with Preston Pearson, Area Operations Supervisor, as they introduce 100% fresh beef patties to their Quarter Pounder and Signature Crafted burger line-up, and how that has changed their kitchen workflow, installed new equipment, and revamped staff training. Lee also joins us and goes through the process of making a fresh beef burger. Have you had one lately? They're so hot and juicy!

On this week's episode, we are delighted to chat with Martin Earl, the culinary editor and chef at ThermoWorks, the makers of thermometers, all about the history of thermometry and science of the different types of digital thermometers are and how they work. We also chatted about how to use thermometers to get better quality of food as the home cook. What a great chat!

On this week's episode, we get into the wonderful world of bagels! We chat about the history of the bagels and how boiling of the bagel became to be, and then we jump into how to make bagels and the science behind that crusty outer layer and chewy, dense inner bread. And on this week's Food Fight discussion, we talk about your love versus your love's preference for food.
