Show Notes
This week on Flavorphiles, we’re going Into the Wild— but not in a “survive on bark and make friends with a squirrel” kind of way.
Tanner and Jerry start with how to seriously upgrade your picnic, car camping, or outdoor hang without turning it into a fully catered wedding in a field. After that, Alana McGee of Truffle Dog Co. joins the show to explain how truffle dogs are trained, what it’s like to forage for truffles and mushrooms, and how to keep them safe from getting eaten.
Then the episode heads deeper into the backcountry with practical advice on what food, gear, and planning actually matter when you’re away from the cooler and the car. Finally, Tanner and Jerry close with the unwritten rules of camping: what to bring, what to leave behind, and how not to be the person everyone hates by night two.
It’s an episode about eating well outdoors, staying prepared, respecting the woods, and remembering that civilization is great — but so is a sandwich that tastes better because you had to hike to eat it.

Whatever happened to the dinner party? Have we gotten too busy, too intimidated, or just too comfortable ordering takeout to invite friends over for a proper meal?
This week on Flavorphiles, Tanner and Jerry are back with a completely new Thanksgiving episode built for everything that happens after the basic advice runs out.
For Talk Like a Pirate Day, Tanner and Jerry dig into the surprisingly strange food and drink history of life at sea. We start with what pirates actually ate, why their diet could sometimes give them an advantage over the Navy, and how scurvy became one of the biggest threats aboard ship. That includes James Lind’s famous experiment testing cures ranging from cider and vinegar to seawater, citrus, and a truly questionable garlic-and-mustard concoction.
