Hello, ya little Milk Duds! On episode 118 of HINKY, Sara and Carrie chat up top and then get onto the topic of castle lore in Lexington. You may know it now as a fancy hotel and restaurant, but that hasn't always been the case! We also recap Sara's birthday dinners and the other places that we've at this past week. It's finally (kinda) cold outside, so we thought we'd let you know about the best grocery store hot cocoa c/o sporked.com. We also try a cocoa-flavored treat in Everybody Tries, and Sara brings some locally made freeze-dried candy from a local Christmas market in her hometown to try. We round out the episode with the story of eggnog for the HINKY History Lesson, and someone's drinking a soda that's a love letter to KY. What is that soda, and what else do we talk about? Follow us wherever you find podcasts to find out!

Hello, ya little sugar plums! On episode 117 of HINKY, it's Sara's birthday! We talk about birthday traditions and memories, and we have a bonus history about the Happy Birthday song. We've been saving room in our bellies for Thanksgiving, so we didn't get to a lot of restaurants, but we make up for it by going through a controversial list of Thanksgiving sides from delish.com. We try some Starbucks holiday treats and a Costco snack in Everybody Tries, and then Carrie brings us not 1, but 2 topics for the HINKY History Lesson! What else do we get into? Give us a follow wherever you find podcasts!

Hello, ya little croissants! On episode 115 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara dive on into their latest experience at a local Korean restaurant, and then they recap all the other tasty foods they've had over the past couple of weeks. Sara made it to her yearly Lewis tailgate appearance on a crappy day, and we might have revealed something not great about the concession stand. Carrie tells us the best AND worst types of restaurants in America as voted on by fans, and she tells us the history of Chick-Fil-A aka Jesus Chicken (halleloo)! Finally, we try a surprise Snack Crate box from Greece and spoiler alert: all the packages were written in Greek, so who knows what they say! (jk, it came with a booklet :D) What else do we get into?

Hello, ya sweet little onions! On episode 114 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara rant about concert tickets (and it's not the rant you're thinking of, btw), and Carrie learns a new fact about Sara that she didn't know before. We recap our outing to a local Japanese restaurant, and we talk about the other things we ate over the past couple of weeks as well. It's officially feeling like fall, so all the snacks and drinks in Everybody Tries are orange (even though this podcast bleeds blue), and Sara tells us the history of one of the world's most famous comfort foods.

Hello ya little bananas! On episode 113 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara had a big ol' Tuesday night at the Cheesecake Factory! We recap Carrie's first trip to the Lexington location, even though it's been here for 10ish years. Don't worry - Sara tried a bunch of local restaurants to balance out all the corporate cheesecake. We talked about our go-to Starbucks drinks, and we have another SnackCrate box (thanks to Sara for not canceling this month's subscription!). We round out the episode with a new Coke drink and Carrie's HINKY History Lesson on a very pertinent treat to the episode. What else do we get into?

On episode 111 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara jump right into the show with some football concession stand talk and how we're finally getting beer sales in Commonwealth Stadium #notmykrogerfield.

Hello, ya little enchiladas! On episode 110 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara talk about an unseasonably cool day and how all the college folks are flooding back to Lexington. But on the brightside, college football is nearby! We chat about all the places we ate these past couple of weeks, and Sara talks about the wedding she attended after the last episode. Carrie made a tomato pie and talked about her weird birthday dinners, and we read a couple of interesting food articles. Did you know George A. Romero's son has a restaurant in Mt. Sterling? Now you do! We also find out which spicy snack best fits our zodiac signs. We try some chips with both Spanish and Canadian flavors for Everybody Tries, and Sara tells us the history of the Snickers bar in fun fact form for the HINKY History Lesson.

Hello ya little war heads! On episode 109 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara try a snack subscription box! We opted for a surprise and it sure was a pleasant one. We got to learn about a new culture and try some spicy snacks along the way. We also talked about where we've eaten this week, and what's been going on in general. Carrie tells us about some of the weirder fair foods you may find around the country this summer, and she tells us the history of Cincinnati chili (even though it's not really Sara's cup of tea). We end the show by trying some extra sour drinks and trying to decide if we'll order another snack box. What else do we talk about? Follow us wherever you find podcasts to find out!
