    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Food is the topic, but the conversation goes everywhere. Brett and Lori reminisce about childhood comfort foods, debate the perfect burger, rank movie snacks, and somehow end up discussing bologna cups, Kool-Aid, Chex Mix, and an irrational hatred of eggs. It's a deliciously random episode packed with nostalgia, questionable culinary choices, and the kind of conversations that happen when good friends grab a microphone.
