Snowed in and slightly unhinged, Mike and Jess use a Burger King “Fully Loaded Croissan’wich” as a launching pad for a conversation about memory, taste, marriage, and the strange intimacy of what we eat.

What starts as a fast-food breakfast review quickly becomes something deeper: why certain foods unlock childhood, how convenience has reshaped culture, and how couples stay connected through small, ridiculous shared experiments.

Along the way they touch on Trader Joe’s trauma, PTA freezer sandwiches, sibling fights over peanut butter, and the wild pre-contactless days of DoorDash.

Sometimes a croissant is just a croissant. Sometimes it’s a mirror for your relationship.

Marriage Bites 295 is basically a medical symposium disguised as a food podcast. Mike has cracked heels, Jess has plantar fasciitis, and somehow this all leads to Dunkin’ Donuts, protein coffee, and a donut filled with something called “golden fudge.” They debate iced vs hot coffee, whether protein belongs in beverages, and if donuts are secretly weapons. There is also a serious discussion about bidets, potty training, Vegas food algorithms, and why toffee is wildly underrated. Along the way, they rate a surprisingly good protein latte, a dangerous donut, and question most of their life choices. Romance. Health. Snacks. Chaos.

Tonight’s dinner comes with a side of app drama, aging injuries, and a deep philosophical debate about Doritos. Mike and Jess return (again) to Shake Shack, this time chasing a mysteriously disappearing Korean fried chicken sandwich that can only be ordered through the app, because of course it can. Along the way, they rank road trip snacks, reminisce about grocery shopping as therapy, compare bruises earned from sneezing and doorframes, and spiral into a surprisingly passionate discussion about Korean food, kimchi, and why getting old is mostly just getting hurt in dumber ways. The sandwich? Spicy, sweet, and absolutely worth the chaos.
