Plus, does Em still hate black pepper after releasing the pepper episode a few months ago? 

Over the next few weeks we are reheating some of our fave episodes from earlier this year, reheated to perfection while Ben and Em take a mini break from recording. Back with new episodes on Monday January 20. 

This is the most heated Ingredipedia has ever got. Who knew Em and Ben had such strong opposing pepper opinions? There’s also a deep dive into the world’s oldest soft drink Dr Pepper and a multi-faceted exploration of one of the truly great pasta dishes.

Behold this very special episode where Ben and Em go head-to-head to see who can create the ultimate Mexican pizza. It’s surprising and unhinged… but will it be delicious?

Thank you so much to Kaiju Beer and Pizza for helping us bring to life our wildest pizza dreams and to the legends at independent, family-owned brewery Kaiju for creating the god damn delicious Mexican-style Cerveza we paired the pizzas with. (And… you know, for sponsoring this whole very special episode!) 

We’ll share some videos of our pizza creations on our social channels, so make sure you’re following to get them in your eyeballs.

You can find Kaiju Cerveza at your fave independent bottle shop, Dan Murphy’s and also at Kaiju Beer and Pizza in Huntingdale in Melbourne’s south-east. 

Back to regular programming (aka a deep-dive on Saladas) next week.
