I love when The Sporkful's mission gives me an excuse to post something that's just cool. Well here's Wilco's Glen Kotche using faucets, pots, and pans to recreate a classic song.
In the first ever Sporkful with a live audience, Dan talks to Lee Frank of Nachos NY, Laura Anderson of Slate, and Chris Salgado of Chris's Awesome Guacamole. Voices are raised. Passions are inflamed.
Last week's Sporkful podcast included an intense debate about the correct definition of a sandwich. Hear what both sides have to say, then let us know what you think. Does NPR's ombudsman need to know about this?

Eater Josh calls in with a tip on how to gently steer your friends to the eatery of your choice, without them even knowing what happened.
Dan and Laura learn about the science of how cheese is made, get a great tip on how to tell if a cheese will melt, and cook two quesos--one all natural, the other as processed as can be.
