The Late Night Happy Hour with Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

He's the host of Food Network's "Spring Baking Championships," and five seasons of "Cheap Eats" on Discovery+. He's been featured on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate," and more. He joins the Late Night Happy Hour.

-We start on the mechanics of shooting food TV shows in the midst of a pandemic. What changes? How much does he actually get to each? Does Duff Goldman share food?

-What will "normal" look like, when it comes to food and eating after the pandemic? What habits have people developed that they'll keep? What snaps back? How will restaurants that have managed to survive while changing menus and making new offerings respond? Will they go back to what they were doing before, or is how we eat out destined to change long term?

-Everyone knows there's a secret menu at In'N'Out.But not everyone knows how to maximize its potential. He brings you the ingredients of "The Ali," a massive and incredibly delicious looking off-the-menu option for your fast food jones.

-And speaking of fast food jones, he also provides a McRib hack that not only improves the sandwich, but also provides a blueprint on how to spruce up virtually any sandwich.

-Finally, we debate the merits of ground turkey. It's flavorless compared to good ground beef... but sometimes that can be a good thing.
