  • Hey, everyone.

  • Dan here with another Sporkful reheat.

  • And this one was requested by listener Dan in Chilmark, Massachusetts.

  • This is a great request.

  • I always love this episode, but here's why Dan wanted us to play it.

  • I thought of requesting this episode during a visit to Ithaca, New York.

  • I took my son and his friend there to visit Cornell University.

  • They're both 18 years old and gearing up for college next year.

  • During our visit, I took them on what I called a pilgrimage to Moosewood Restaurant.

  • Even though I'm not a vegetarian, Moosewood has been a huge influence on my style of cooking.

  • During our meal, I noticed that we were the only men in the restaurant.

  • So I asked my son and his friend, are men allowed to be vegetarians?

  • That got us talking about masculinity, and it immediately brought me back to your episode with Michael Ian Black.

  • This is an episode that I think has stuck with me and affected the way that I think about gender and masculinity and femininity and different foods and the things we map onto those things.

  • It's the kind of episode you're not going to forget.

  • So I'm really excited to pull it out of the deep freezer and share it with all of you.

  • Remember that there's an episode you want us to share from the deep freezer.

  • Drop me a note@helloporkful.com before we get into it, some quick notes on Michael Ian Black.

  • He has continued with lots of different projects since I spoke with him.

  • His podcast, Obscur, is still going strong.
