Fork Marry Kill

(Jamón Ibérico / Croissant / Paella) We reach the end of our epic trilogy of travel episodes with a jaunt through Portugal, Spain, and France, where Brandon experiences a brand new phenomenon called “being wine drunk.” We also investigate the international scam known as Tapas restaurants, debate which film Nicolas Cage deserves a retroactive Oscar for, and try to answer a question that has plagued mankind for centuries: What is Paella?

(Eggplant/Peaches/Lollipops) While feeling our way through Nick's emoji-themed FMK, we ponder the truly big questions: Is it wise to ask for a menu recommendation?
