food but on train

So the biggest question, does the car have an original NYC beanpot from the cookbook?

What if king Crimson song about 20th century salad bowl.

bonus episode idea: the nobel peace prize

Richmond, Indiana, the Gateway to the Middle West (title of my elementary-school textbook) is on US 40 and I-70 on the Ohio border, halfway up the state. The most important fact about Richmond is that some of the earliest jazz recordings ever made were made in a train shed, by the Gennett company. Why a train shed? Welp, Black musicians, can't have them in an actual studio. First Louis Armstrong record was made there. I actually used to take the train (the Cardinal) back from college back in the 1970s. They made a scheduled stop only when there was a passenger. You need never think of Richmond, Indiana now, and you are luckier than me.

Something doesn't ring true about the story of the potato farmers complaining to themselves that their potatoes were growing too large. Greater than producing food of exceptional taste or nutritional quality, hasn't the guiding principle of every American farmer always been to grow the biggest fucking vegetable you've ever fucking seen? Hard to imagine a farmer being unhappy to grow a potato that he could take to the county fair! XD

I loved this. I would genuinely be interested in an episode on Amtrak, in general.

I hear shrimp can fry rice, so perhaps they can also prepare other foods and save kitchen space.

I urgently need you to know that there is in fact a _song_ about the Great Big Baked Potato: https://youtu.be/RKxqaljM0DY?si=tpdzaVrgYajn_42_

The pennsy had a better menu than the central

When you do a Canada tour please come to St. John's. I know you want to so let this comment be your excuse. I can even recommend two great venues depending on expected crowd size

Riding intercity busses in South America, there are still butches that will hop on a sell you a questionable sandwich

The sudden increase in oyster consumption was made possible by the invention of cost-effective canning. 19th century menus at hotels in Kansas had tons of oyster options. My favorite ad said "oysters all the ways." https://campusarch.msu.edu/?p=4962

I was blasting Food House right before I put this on 😹

...I really want a Great Big Baked Potato now...

This was certainly something to listen to on my drive the other day. I had to go from Salt Lake to St George Utah (Northern edge of the state to the southern) which is exactly the route of the cancelled passenger line that was supposed to be built years ago. So I was stuck in a car listening to how cool it would be to be on a train as I follow a cancelled train route. Almost like being haunted by some kind of -ology

Wow the There Goes A Train reference hit me like an intermediate cartridge fired from 220 yards away, which is to say, unexpected and i recoiled a bit in my chair. As a small child I think it could be said I was addicted to that VHS. I was absolutely enthralled by the "There Goes A Blank series. I hadn't exactly forgotten it, but seeing the clips again sorta memory blasted me (in a good way lol) and shoutout to Dave for being such an ADHD icon

Dog 2 cute that is all

Let's get this Gravy Train going (please divine hog farmers, do not slaughter me)

Food house mentioned 🔥💯🔥

This dog resemble tren Edited: where can I listen to more of andi the dog? Why did you guys not talk about the gravy train?

Long time listener, first time caller. This episode made me realize that “The Harvey House”restaurant in Madison, WI is referring to the historical Harvey House. The one in Madison is even in an old train station and there’s a refurbished dining car!

The "No Meat on Tuesdays" thing had nothing to do with Catholicism. It was a Wilson-era proclamation calling for every Tuesday to be meatless and for one additional meatless meal to be observed every day, for a total of nine meatless meals each week. This was an attempt to avoid potential food rationing during WWI.

I'm Australian and I've eaten ONE on train meal. It gave me food poisoning. We have 2 long distance trains, the Indian-Pacific (from Sydney to Perth) and the Ghan (from Adelaide to Darwin) that are famed for the quality of the food.

Thanks for recognizing that all the kids in this country don't have enough time to eat lunch! Ben Franklin fucked up.

The ... food towards the end was getting grim. Christ.

When I rode the California Zephyr in 2020 the dining car attendant literally told us all to call Amtrak's number to complain about the quality of food to get congress to fund Amtrak's food service properly.

I took the Pacific Starlight from Seattle to Los Angeles and back last year around Christmas and while I had food poisoning on the way down, I was well enough on the way back to eat, and the food was good. Very impressed with the sleeper car service, especially on the way down where I just needed bottles of water shoved at me and to be left alone

To be fair...Caltrans has so little control over what the JPA-run services (like San Joaquins) do it's despicable. Most of the people at Caltrans who deal with rail would very happily rip up the JPA system and go back to running the trains sensibly but we-I MEAN THEY can't....THEY can't because reasons. Worse yet, since SJJPA is yoinking cafe car service, Capitol Corridor JPA is now eyeing their own cafe cars and talking about getting rid of them. Also the Siemens Venture cars that Caltrans ordered for the San Joaquins could be themselves an episode bc the last couple are due to be delivered this winter and in order for them to be delivered they have to recall two of the in-service trains, break them apart, and shuffle cars around because i believe the last cars to be delivered are going to be the "vending machine cars"

Where are pics from trip in amtrak attached car?

I would buy both a "News Butch" and "Train Boy" hat

Can't believe we did this without mentioning the British Rail Sandwich

🎵been riding on this old train / been riding it all night / think i'll go to the club car / and get myself a bite / mmm this tuna melt sammich / really tastes quite nice! (oh it's got sesame seeds in the bun…) / plus it comes with coleslaw and a pickle / and i must say it's reasonably priced 🎶

Y'all, November made me cry multiple times during this episode. Not like a little. Hard. Geat big ugly tears of Soviet and train potato grief.

Mongolian TF 2, haven't played that in years.

I was just on the Floridian between Chicago & Orlando and the dining car was absolutely like meal time at a retirement home. Two breakfasts I got trapped in my booth by retirees talking about their hobbies and I think both of them I were train nerds. Coach was awful for sleeping and the will-they-won’t-they access to the dining car. I upgraded to a roomette on the way home and it was waaaay more comfortable, if a bit weird in places on account of trying to do so much in a small place. That said, the dining car was entirely satisfactory for what it was, and the food was fine? Not “excellently” but fine, didn’t feel like I was being grossly taken advantage of.

doggo

I'd love an episode on whisky!! Also, this episode was great. More train related episodes if you'd please.

we need a WTYP live show in Pullman y’all do itttttt

I haven't watched/listened yet but I demand to know who this handsome dachshund is

I won’t eat the wiener dog

I was never expecting a There Goes a Train mention on WTYP, hell yeah

Reminding me of what I heard of the Midwest oyster stew for Christmas eve tradition (different from the southern one, both probably descended from the Catholic one). When refrigerated train cars became common on way out of the way places they could suddenly get ocean seafood and oysters traveled well. I want to say they just dumped them into barrels of sea water but don't quote me on that. But we're still talking poor farmers so it would have to be a treat, and oyster season, refrigeration, and not a lot of money except for a treat came together right at Christmas.

Goddammit guys, now I really want a baked potato.

If you sell a version of the Train Boy hat that says Train Boi, I would buy one

After 5 years of very transient housing in California some 15 years ago, you have my deepest empathy, November. I hope the next place you land works out for you for a long time.

Train Butch has wares if you have coin

What the dawg doing?

Any chance to get the recent episodes in the audio only RSS feed ? Thanks a lot 🙏

Novemver lookin like she at the Barbers

Omg Max from Tasting History isn't a twink. He's matured very nicely into twunk territory. Although I'm amused at the idea of my imagined ongoing YouTube beef list of Plainly Difficult, Technology Connections and now Tasting History.

I was so shocked by bonus episode that I'm still slightly concerned I'm hallucinating. This was not helped by the cover image of food, but doggo.

poultry in motion!

I just commented on this a comment I was trying to post to a QAA episode so now anyone who saw that knows my mind is more melted than a fucking Dalek’s goddamnit

I was minutes away from rewatching the sword episode. Sifu always said timing is everything.

“The Cast Cloak of Pods: +3 Endurance +2 Charisma +1 Intelligence *clap* mark!” -1 Agility ??? Luck?

Northern Pacific, hell yes! Minnesota railroads FTW!

Can y'all just all stop being so fucking hot.

Thanks, Nova. Now I have to go down a Sami clothing rabbithole.

Major controversy here - Victorian state rollingstock is all moving to DMU's called VLocity sets with no onboard catering. People on lines a long way from Melbourne are not happy. I want my crappy coffee and a soggy bag of chips dammit while rolling my way to Shepparton.

On the California Zephyr, the train would glide into the station at Glenwood Springs, and you could watch them hand up fresh caught trout to the kitchen.

lookin good in this thumbnail, liam

Korean trains used to have those carts pushed by hand, where ladies (mostly from my memory) used to sell boiled eggs and gimbap. Good times. The best food I had personally is a toss up between an ekiben with a whole octopus leg in shinkansen (rhymes with Wisconsin) or a whole schnitzel and pierogis served in a train between Berlin and Warsaw.

Does not your love of King and country keep you warm, Ms Kelly? Why have you need of a boat-cloak [Finnish]? Have you been in conversation with that Jagiello again?

New Amtrak hot dog just dropped?

Pls no eat da dawg 😢

After a long, rough day, seeing the notification for this as I let my final grasp on reality go (sleepytime) I have nothing but happy thoughts for tomorrow Food on train is good for me

I guess I'm not sleeping tonight lol

Mark

I am very surprised to see this show up after finishing my lunch on the shinkansen

As someone who recently had food on a train, this content is relevant to me.

I was going to comment on the cloak. It's delightful.

I can't wait to see what this one's about. In the morning.

What's the deal... with Amtrak food?!
