Author: Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV November 30, 2022 Duration: 1:30:09

Netflix's new cooking show takes a leaf from Claire Saffitz's book and challenges its chefs to make their own homemade versions of commercially available snacks. Home Cook and Food Scientist (one of these titles accurately applies) Adam Grosswirth returns to talk about it! Around The Dial takes us through S03 of Mythic QuestSelena + Chef, and an update on Sarah's Cheers rewatch. Adam pitches the Will & Grace two-parter "Lows In The Mid-Eighties" for induction into The Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that's on the bleeding edge of culture. Grab some Oreos and listen!
