Eating Ben's Chili Bowl at Reagan Airport before a flight should be banned for safety reasons

Eating that before you get onto a flight... that should, it should be box cutters and Ben's Chili Bowl. The two things that you can't bring on a flight.

This is a humorous comparison that cannot be factually proven.

Turkey is a 'peasant bird' and doesn't belong on the Thanksgiving table

Pumpkins are useless food that only hippos and squirrels actually enjoy

I got a vendetta against everything pumpkin... nobody likes pumpkins, we're just forced to do a lot of stuff that we just forced to do as human beings... The only animal [that eats it] is the hippopotamus and squirrels.

His claim that nobody likes them is hyperbole, making it subjective food commentary.

The Rock's massive cheat meals are stolen valor

His cheat days are bullshit. Where he is like, 'Oh me, I'm the Rock, I'm eating a hundred pancakes.' Like yeah dude, eat a hundred pancakes when you're already full and fat. That's hard work. If you're in really good shape and you eat a lot of food, that's not hard. It's stolen valor. I wanna see the Rock eat a cheat meal when he's already full.

The term 'stolen valor' is used satirically here; the difficulty of the Rock's diet is subjective.

Putting beans in chili is 'woke'

I think I agree with him that beans and chili are woke... it is like Texas chili is just meat... This is like nerfing chili. It's not letting dudes fart. Dudes can't even fart anymore because we're taking the beans out of chili.

This is a purely subjective and satirical cultural take.

The 'Uncrustable Diet' is the perfect way to get in shape for age 40

I'm trying a new diet that I think I invented, which is strictly Uncrustables. ... My meal plan is, I eat four Uncrustables a day. ... I think that the Uncrustable is probably the perfect snack. The perfect meal, the perfect everything.

Nutritionally, this is likely an incorrect way to get 'jacked,' though calorie restriction works.

The replacement of Sierra Mist with Starry is a handout to 'Big Corn'

This does feel like a Biden special... This is a big handout to Big corn. Yeah. To the corn syrup market. Because Sierra Mist was made with real sugar while Starry uses high fructose corn syrup.

Hot TakeFoodFireSarcastic
While Starry does use high fructose corn syrup compared to some versions of Sierra Mist using cane sugar, the idea that it's a political handout is a satirical joke.

Eating 14 hot dogs in 12 hours is not a lot of food

When you say 14 hot dogs in 12 hours isn't that much. It's not. That's a fat ass statement. Not that you're a fat ass, but... it's really just dealing with Stu Feiner all the time.

Medically and logically, 14 hot dogs in a single day is an extraordinary amount of sodium and calories for a human, making this factually 'incorrect' as a standard for 'not much'.

The Beyond Meat COO bit a man's nose because he craved real animal protein

Corn is a fruit and it will win the Mount Rushmore for Team Billy

Corn. Corn is a fruit. Can you guys believe that? An ear of corn is not technically a fruit. Instead, each kernel is a fruit. Exactly... I'm talking to the corn lovers of America. You're gonna vote for Team Billy because of corn... Trust in corn.

Hot TakeFoodScorchingSarcastic
Botanically, a kernel of corn is a caryopsis (a type of fruit), but in any culinary or common sense context, it is a vegetable or grain. Comedically, it's a ridiculous claim for a fruit draft.

In-N-Out burger is so overhyped

But you go in the conversation as best tasting burger. We're not talking about all the bells and whistles of everything else. And I think that's what In-N-Out does... Great service, great experience, the ingredients yes, very quality. But again, we're talking about a great taste. We're talking about the best tasting burger out there and to me In-N-Out is so over-hyped.

Taste is subjective, though In-N-Out remains a highly debated topic in fast food.

Dolphins would be a delicious meal if you harpooned them the old-fashioned way

We're going with a dish that the Japanese do really well: dolphins. [I'd kill it the] old fashioned way, harpoon, just choke it out. Just bring them into a Cove and slaughter them all. That's the old fashioned way is just stabbing a dolphin with a harpoon.

A 600-foot cheesesteak made of individual subs is a total fraud

It's a bunch of regular cheesesteaks, footlong cheesesteaks stacked up next to each other. It's ridiculous to say... If you make a 600-foot... it has to be connected.

The 'record' was widely mocked for being individual sandwiches placed end-to-end rather than one continuous loaf.

I think queso's the soup... You use like chips, which are basically spoons. They're edible spoons. Yeah, it's bread. It's like the bread that comes with soup. I think queso's the soup.

Culinary definitions usually classify queso as a dip or sauce, not a soup.

The KFC Famous Bowl is a 'failure pile' that represents how you eat when you are suicidal

I keep seeing people say the phrase 'failure pile in the sadness bowl.' It's how I described the Kentucky Fried Chicken Famous Bowl where they just Kentucky Fried Chicken gave up and go, 'let's just put our menu in a bowl and covered it in cheese and gravy.' They created an entree that is how you eat when you're suicidal. And America said, 'yes, finally, that's what I want.'

Ketchup is a disgusting mask for people with bad taste

Ketchup period. Ketchup is disgusting. Anyone who jumps—it's a mask. It's the same as buffalo sauce. If you need to have ketchup—like people that eat pizza but I need to have ketchup... it's just a masquerade. People that eat ketchup get addicted to it.

PB&J on hot dog rolls is a superior sandwich method and I'm never going back

I've been making PB and J's and hot dog rolls and honestly, I'm never going back. Yeah, PB&J doesn't fall out of the sample. It falls out of sandwiches in the hot dog roll. It's like a taco, you know.

Kombucha is likely a prank started on the West Coast to see if the rest of the country would fall for it

I'm convinced there's a list of things that just start on the West Coast as pranks to see if everyone else will do it. And [Kombucha] is one of them. They're like, we'll just start saying kombucha's good and watch these fucking idiots in the rest of the country. We'll just pay way too much for this shitty tea.

Poutine is not the national food of Canada

Poutine is not the national food of Canada. I have never had poutine before. Now suddenly everybody's Mr. Poutine. This is poutine. This side and the other thing.

While poutine is widely considered the national dish, its official status is debated and its rise in popularity is a relatively recent 20th-century phenomenon.

The best way to deep fry a turkey is to make sure it is completely frozen

The best way to prepare a turkey, in my opinion, is by deep frying it... If you deep fry it, make sure that it's completely frozen... A lot of people burn their house down every year, so make sure it's totally frozen. And then drop it from a high surface area and make sure it all spills over and do it indoors.

Hot TakeFoodScorchingSarcastic
This is dangerously incorrect; putting a frozen turkey in a deep fryer causes a massive fire/explosion due to the water-oil reaction.

Since pickles are green, a Dilly Dog is basically a salad

No, I like it [Dilly Dog]. You can put anything in a pickle. And guess what? Since pickles are green, it's basically a salad. If you wrap anything in green, boom. Healthy.

Asparagus is widely considered a healthy vegetable by nutritional science; the smell of urine is due to the breakdown of asparagusic acid.

Old milk is at its best in coffee once it has been turning for two days and is right on the line of being drinkable.

I like to use old milk in my coffee because it's got a little extra kick to it. No, it's a fine line between being like rancid and being drinkable. And so like when it first starts to turn those first two days, that's when it's best in coffee.

The culinary appeal of spoiled milk is entirely subjective, though medically inadvisable.
