The Sporkful

We're putting together two audio episodes and a video on Girl Scout Cookies. As we mentioned, we got our large batch of cookies from Cassie, daughter of our fellow NPR Bryant Park Project alum Tricia McKinney. We talked to both of them and you'll hear their take on cookies soon. But we also talked about March Madness with Cassie. Back

The Sporkful

In this week's call in smorgasbord, a listener in Oregon rants about restaurants that pick style over eatability, an Illinois eater stands up for vegetarians, and an Ohio man shares a tale of love lost, cookies baked, and ultimate redemption.

It’s Edible, but is it Eatable?

On this week's show we take a call from Wayne, who also emailed us some photos to illustrate the reason for his call. He writes: Listen- there is a problem out there and no one is addressing it. Restaurants are putting gorgeous dishes in front of diners with more concern for drama than for eatability. That's right, Eatability: the compatibility of

Dan and I exchange dozens of e-mails a week about Sporkful. I use gmail and love the confusion our often bizarre e-mail conversations evoke in Google's servers while they attempt to toss relevant ads our way. It's pretty hopeless for them. In the runup to last week's episode on water, Google's brain tried and failed so

Listen on Posterous Dan says he's no fan of sparkling water in our newest episode. I think he's missing out on the joys of seltzer, club soda and all water that sparkles and fizzes. In this bit that didn't make it into the podcast, we debate whether he may have dark, unknown issues disabling him from the joy of seltzer. The
