Thanks to Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn for waving the Sporkful flag on his own podcast and blog. He endorses us especially for family car trips. We're hearing from a lot of folks who load up several episodes for a big trip. Great to hear we've made some long drives a bit more bearable.
Maybe we should do an episode about fast food drive-thrus and/or eating in cars. One potential hitch, Dan and I don't have cars. Parking and insurance is insanely costly in the New York area. (We borrowed one to shoot the ketchup video.) So before we do that episode, we'll make sure to tap Sporkful fans for expertise and guidance. /markSporkful Rides Along
