This week, we talk all about menu engineering and the psychology of menu design with special guest and neuroemotional psychologist and brander, Ali Craig. She breaks down each part of the menu and what kind of game the restaurant brand is trying to play. By the end of our discussion, we feel like we've been duped this entire time! Visit Ali and find a fun restaurant cheat sheet at her site alicraig.co.

We also help a Food Fight listener (and Winter) figure out what's allowed in her new garbage disposal.

Let's taco 'bout it!

Because of an awesome listener email, we talk all about vinegar and the different types, and delve a little deeper into how balsamic vinegar is made, the different compounds that are found in balsamic vinegar, and how Winter likely has never had Traditional Balsamic Vinegar before in her life. Crazy!

We also talk about how everyone has cooking fails and how to bounce back from them during our Food Fight segment.

On this week's episode, we record live at the Woodscross Smith's Food and Drug and talk to our friendly neighborhood butcher, Tom Matthews. He tells us all about the different cuts of beef, where they're located on the cow, and how to prepare them so we come out winners at dinner time. He also answers questions submitted by our listeners and live audience members. Plus, one of our Food Fight listeners is worried about someone she's dating and his penchant for sodas with no ice, and we help her determine if this is a red flag or not. Let's taco 'bout it!
