Penn & Teller: Fool Us
In this enchanting episode of the 614 feast podcast, we're spicing up our regular foodie fare with a dash of magic, courtesy of the spellbinding Magician Michael Kent. Our tasty talk starts with the cozy corners of the Starliner Diner in Hilliard, stirring the cauldron of food debates with a slice of polarizing pizza from Dicarlo’s.
Whisked through a tale of mesmerizing feats, we delve into Michael’s magical performance on Penn & Teller: Fool Us. Our taste buds are in for a treat as Michael unveils his magical act, a potpourri of delightful tricks entwining the ordinary with the extraordinary; a banana, lemon, potato, chicken, egg, and a Slim Jim, each playing their whimsical part in his magical narrative. The Slim Jim holds a special place in Michael’s heart (and act!), owing to its perfect size and the laughs it evokes every night on stage.
The NYC style pizza in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Amidst the aroma of magic and food, Michael reminisces about his favorite food portrayal on screen – the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) pizza, embodying the classic NYC slice. Pizza nostalgia as he recalls the iconic Domino's box product placement in the movie, intertwined with a school field trip to Domino's, baking a hearty pizza of childhood memories.
Sushi in Tokyo, Pizza in Naples, Buffalo Wild Wings in USA…
Yet, the tale of Michael’s culinary escapade has a humble beginning. A cautious eater, he didn’t have a taco until he was in college. However, as the world unfolded through his tours, so did his palate, morphing into a canvas of flavors he now explores with gusto. From sushi in Tokyo to the authentic taste of Neapolitan pizza in Naples, or a Buffalo Wild Wings in anytown USA, every bite tells a story. The narrative takes a mythical turn as we unravel the sacrificial origins of pork pozole, leading us to a quirky tidbit about the Pringles inventor who found his final resting place in a Pringles can.
Join us in this magical culinary journey with Michael Kent, as we unravel the tales of food, magic, and the endless wonders they brew together. With every trick and treat, we discover that the world of food, much like magic, holds a promise of the unexpected, waiting to be unveiled one bite, one spell, at a time.
