You would think saying “I’d muck that” means something very different than eating, but hey, guess what here we are talking about mucking, all the people who muck as a hobby and… in the middle of it is Zane Caplansky.

In this little holiday episode, Chrissy & Marie get into foodie culture – a world ubiquitous with Instagram. But, we looked into it and – Surprise! – It turns out foodie culture goes back hundreds of years, but it could never cross over into pop culture in the way that it needed to in order to be the stuff that #foodporn is made of.

Unsurprisingly, muckbang is apart of the whole #foodporn thing – and I’m so sorry it really sounds like a sex thing… it apparently isn’t… but it kind of is… 

Anyway! We “dig in” (haha) to all things food and foodie related with the best guy to talk to about this – Zane Caplansky the King of smoked meat, the purveyor of fine mustards, the bro you want to know from Food Network, the host with the most from the radio and all around great guy.

Zane’s no stranger to the world of food, his deli served up some of the most memorable slices of smoked meat to the likes of Beyoncé, Guy Fieri, Geddy Lee and, of course, Marie & Chrissy (not to name drop but…). Caplansky’s Deli was the place everyone loved to go and when it unexpectedly shut it’s doors – it left legions of people to speculate when it will re-open.

Zane’s connection to foodies comes with his own honest love for food and in the episode we discuss what makes a foodie, if it’s an elitist culture and even if foie gras can be as satisfying as some popcorn and Nibs.

So tune in and enjoy the end of Season 1!

Season 2 kicks off in January!
