A Hot Dog Is A Sandwich
Hosted by Mythical Chefs
Two chefs and longtime co-hosts debate a single, often absurd, culinary quandary in each episode, from pop culture to personal history.
A debate show where a central food controversy is merely the starting point. The hosts, who have a clear and long-standing rapport, use the topic (e.g., peanut butter brands, celebrity fast-food orders) to spiral into tangents about their childhoods, pop culture, the psychology of taste, and the business of food branding.
“Unlike typical food podcasts that focus on recipes or restaurant reviews, this show's core is the chemistry and chaotic energy of its two hosts. The specific food topic is often secondary to the personal stories, inside jokes, and mock-serious arguments that arise.”
Who hosts this show
On "A Hot Dog Is A Sandwich," Mythical chefs Josh Scherer and Nicole Enayati apply their culinary expertise to debate the internet's most controversial food questions.
