Dan and Andy are back recording remotely from their homes on opposite sides of the globe for their first episode in a while. It’s Taco Bell day. Dan had the Bell down the road from his house in Springfield, while Andy took a long trip to a Taco Bell in Guangzhou. They explore the history of Taco Bell in China, discussing the reasons why the restaurant’s first attempt to expand into the country failed miserably, and then examine how Taco Bell radically changed its approach before beginning a second push into the PRC last year. And, of course, they discuss and compare the TB meals they both had this week. There’s a fun musical game at the end, which is apparently this show’s deal now.

All good things must end, and so must things that are less good, like th the Springfood, MO Revival. On the last episode--for now--Dan and Andy show up late to a date with destiny as they finally review Hemingway's Blue Water Cafe, the wildly expensive restaurant inside the most iconic place in Springfield, Bass Pro Shops. Later, scores are settled from earlier revival episodes as Cole Simmons of Mint Fatigues calls into the show, and Nicole Noonan of the band Big Alive stops by to hash out a grudge with Dan. More surprises after that, but c'mon, you can guess what happens at the end of the ep, right?

Chaos reigns as Sarah Jenkins and Nate Black of The Mystery Hour return to Springfood, MO to help review downtown's first and only totally meatless restaurant, Bosky's Vegan Grill, live from Andy's childhood bedroom. Sarah talks about quitting her day job. Nate talks about getting hit by a car. Later, Dan sings some vegan New Year's songs, and then some actors who were rejected for roles in The Bear stop by to share their audition tapes. Or something. Andy and Dan kiss.

For week three of the Springfood Revival, Dan & Andy review George's Family Restaurant, a 50-year-old late-night diner that features one of the show's more surprising history segments. Your hosts also discuss how much they miss--and/or don't miss--doing a restaurant review every week, and Dan shares how his Springfield dining habits have changed after finishing the show's initial 200-episode run. After reviewing George's, there's a new segment in which Andy shares some complicated feelings about the First Meal he had upon his return to Springfield--at a beloved restaurant that has undergone some major changes over the past couple years. Then, later, in a radical shock to the show's format, a special guest drops by.

Billy Dove II, aka the 417foodist--Springfield's most prominent foodfluencer--returns to the show to help Dan & Andy review a relatively new restaurant, the MSU-adjacent Mimi's Soulfood. Later, a special guest stops by, and then Andy & Dan make up for years of lies they told about Billy Dove eating bugs... by forcing him to eat bugs. Yes, to close the episode, the trio taste tests some allegedly edible insects.

Springfood, MO is back! For a limited time only. On the first of five revival episodes, the Foodmales vow not to get meta. Andy recounts the odyssey he underwent over the last couple weeks trying--and failing--to get a Popeyes chicken sandwich while back in town. Dan provides some absolutely massive updates about his life over the last year and a half. Eventually, they get around to reviewing Gilardi's, then later, you guessed it, a very special guest drops by. IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK. Tell all your friends.

Dan and Andy recorded this together IN PERSON for the first time in 16 months! They each share their five favorite songs of 2022, along with some honorable mentions and other surprises. There's also some big news about some upcoming episodes!

Welcome to Earthfood, MO! New show, same goofballs; a familiar format with twist. Dan and Andy are returning to the food world--the food planet--with an all-new angle. They'll be reviewing international chain restaurants--any restaurant with a location wherever Andy happens to be AND wherever Dan happens to be. The first week kicks off with Popeyes--the fast-food chicken world's orange-headed stepchild--which presently has only two locations in China. Andy traveled to Shanghai to visit China's flagship Popeyes store, while Dan traveled to 1710 South Glenstone Avenue to visit the first Popeyes in Springfield, Missouri, USA. Later, there's a chicken-centric music game, then a special guest drops in to promote an upcoming feature film.
