3 minTim recalls fighting a Fox News pageant girl about Dippin' Dots on Red Eye, then the two mock 'sustainable seafood' trends and gimmicky new steak cuts like the Vegas strip and merlot cut being pushed by restaurants trying to avoid pricier meat.
- 6:47Tim questions why restaurants charge $8 for dishes that just add coconut milk.
- 7:00Rolled ice cream is pointless—why freeze and roll it instead of just scooping?
- 7:31Dippin Dots is gross, and Tim had a fight about it on Fox News with someone.
- 8:21Tim doesn't care whether seafood is sustainable—that's someone else's problem to figure out.
- 8:45Why can't they just breed salmon instead of killing random fish as bycatch?
- 9:05New cuts of meat like the Vegas strip steak are being rebranded shoulder cuts made trendy.
- 9:36Steakhouses now serve underutilized cuts and call them cool, charging $27 instead of $57.
- 9:50Tim made Deb a braised rabbit for Valentine's Day.
