  Episode #186

  How Big Food Engineered the Perfect Taste #186

  Aug 17, 20261h 13m

  This week, Harley and Big Lynch go deep on stomach share and the Bliss Point. Lynch breaks down how a Harvard psychophysicist fixing army rations discovered the curve that maps exactly what tastes best, and what happened when the packaged food business got hold of it: 3,904 taste tests to build one Dr Pepper, a spaghetti sauce study that found three kinds of Americans, and $6,500 quietly paid to Harvard researchers in 1965 to point the blame at fat instead. The boys get into the 1999 meeting where eleven food executives were told exactly what was coming and chose to do nothing, what the science actually proves about obesity versus what everyone assumes, and why GLP-1 drugs are the first thing in fifty years to take stomach share off the table.

  Episode #185

  Why Pepsi Won't Admit SoBe Is Dead #185

  Aug 10, 202655 min

  This week, Harley and Big Lynch autopsy SoBe, the ghost brand nobody officially killed. The boys trace it from John Bello, Tom Schwam, and Kevin McGovern launching the South Beach Beverage Company in 1995, through the flop first shipment that had Bello putting his house up as collateral, to the ginseng and guarana pivot that made the lizard a gas station king. Then Coke backs out of a deal only for Pepsi to swoop in with a reported $370 million, and the money era begins: CGI lizards doing Thriller next to Naomi Campbell, the most viewed Super Bowl ad of 2008, and 125 million pairs of 3D glasses for the Ray Lewis sequel. And then, nothing. No announcement, no death date, just empty coolers, $20 empty bottles on eBay, and a Pepsi tweet insisting SoBe was never discontinued.New episodes of Double Dusted Discussion, every Monday!Join the Discord, Harley's Trap House, and check out the Double Dusted Discussion channel.Tell us what you think at r/EpicMealTime, @EpicMealTime on Twitter, or business@epicmealtime.com.Make sure to subscribe and follow the podcast.

  Episode #184

  How Pizza Humbled the Fastest Restaurant on Earth #184

  Aug 3, 202656 min

  This week, Harley and Big Lynch go deep on the McPizza: McDonald's decade-long war to win dinner from Pizza Hut. The boys trace it from the 1985 pizza-pocket prototype to the 145 pepperoni taste tests, the $950,000 custom rapid-cook ovens that still needed 11 minutes to serve a pie, the widened drive-thrus, the Howie Mandel commercials, and the full-size pies served on metal racks across Canada. Then the long death: 500 stores shrinking to two holdouts in Pomeroy, Ohio and Spencer, West Virginia, the fans who drove 1,000 miles for one last slice, and the corporate order that finally killed it. Plus: Harley reports back from Shambhala, and the guys plot a road trip to the last McPizza in Orlando.

  Episode #183

  How Sizzler Went From Buffet Court to Bankruptcy Court #183

  Jul 20, 20261h 2m

  This week, Harley and Big Lynch autopsy Sizzler: the California steakhouse that sold a 99-cent steak dinner in 1958, grew to 733 restaurants, then invented an all-you-can-eat buffet court that swallowed the whole company. The boys break down the legendary 1991 "Choice of America" corporate video, the Sunday night in June 1996 when Sizzler closed 130 restaurants and cut 4,600 jobs before lunch, the E. coli outbreak that started at a salad bar, the $208 million private equity rescue, and the second bankruptcy that left just 74 US locations standing. Plus: the Shane Dawson Sizzler lore, and whether the guys should host a meet and greet at the Sizzler on Los Feliz Boulevard.

  Episode #182

  How Denny's Killed the 3 AM Grand Slam #182

  Jul 13, 20261h 8m

  This week, Harley and Big Lynch perform the autopsy on Denny's and the death of Always Open. The guys break down how a donut shop and someone's last $50 became America's 24-hour diner, the Christmas in 1988 when Denny's had to buy 700 locks because the doors had never closed, and the one October earnings call that killed 150 restaurants, half the menu, and the 24/7 rule before the whole thing sold for $620M to the owners of TGI Fridays. They react to a $1.99 Grand Slam commercial, rage about the price of breakfast in 2026, settle Denny's vs IHOP vs Waffle House, and get low-key depressed by adults ordering off the kids menu to save money. Plus, Googie architecture, Mondelez slides into Harley's DMs, Costco hot dog economics, the Nelk Boys' never-ending hole-in-one challenge, and the AI attacks Harley on air.
