Episode Details

This is a special live episode recorded at the Refrigerated Foods Association Fall Symposium at Rutgers University. Ben and Don talk to a room full of food industry professionals, most of whom know what podcast is, but who are not regular listeners to Food Safety Talk. As usual the live episode opens with a survey regarding podcasts and how much the audience knows about them. After Don briefly corrects Ben regarding the correct meaning of the word "random", Ben wants to talk about knives made out of poop, and why one might study them. After that the guys talk about food insufficiency and why people might choose to eat roadkill. They do a bit of interesting listener feedback regarding food safety risks relative to jumping off a one-story building before opening it up to questions from the audience. Audience questions relate to barf blog, the safety of sushi, and the realities of working in an actual restaurant kitchen.
