Hello, ya little nuts! On episode 121 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara talk about the first snow of 2024 and Carrie has a wild take on cold weather. We talk about the two new restaurants we tried over the weekend, both of which are local and delicious. Plus, the UK Men's Basketball team was spotted eating at one of these spots, so there's that! We talk about the food trends for 2024 (some seem normal, but a couple are crazy), and we try snacks from Egypt in our monthly Snack Crate. Finally, Sara brings us the history of another food that has roots in Asian culture in our HINKY History Lesson. What else do we get into? Follow us wherever you find podcasts to find out!

Hello, ya little Spindrifts! On episode 120 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara welcome a guest! Danielle aka The Inebriated Baker joins us for another episode to showcase her winter cupcake flavors and to tease some new products for the shop in 2024. We recap the holidays and do a deep dive on the full English breakfast, and we learn about the history of French fries for the HINKY History Lesson. Do you like cupcakes? Do you like booze? If you answered yes to both of those, then you should head on down to Fayette Mall and check out Danielle's bakery, The Inebriated Baker! She specializes in cocktail-flavored cupcakes with up to 1 oz of alcohol in the center of each one, depending on the cupcake size. She has a regular menu and a seasonal menu, and she's starting to sell some other products as well, so check her out if you haven't already! To hear about her new flavors and products, and see what we get into, give us a follow wherever you find podcasts!

Hello, ya little Plopps! On episode 109 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara have a lot of catching up to do! Sara talks about her recent trip to California, and Carrie talks about her overnight stay in Louisville. Both trips involved good food, so you know we had to talk about it! And for Everybody Tries, we have a special holiday box from Snack Crate with Christmas and Hannukah-themed treats from all over Europe (and Hawaii)! This episode is a little different than our others, but it's still jam-packed with fun. What else do we get into? Follow us wherever you get your podcasts to find out!

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?

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?

Hello, ya little truffles! On episode 116 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara wax poetic about the time change (is this daylight savings time, we don't know!) and they place bets on what the weather will be on Sara's birthday. We talk about our latest food escapades, and then we try a variety of snacks for Everybody Tries. Sara tells us the history of red velvet cake, and we chat about all the things we've been drinking as well. What else do we get into? Follow us wherever you find podcast to find out!

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? Follow along wherever you find podcasts!

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?

Hello, ya little mysteries! On episode 112 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara recap their weeks before getting into some fall food talk.
