    Did you know we are running out of ketchup? Well, ketchup packets. You see the past year has really changed the face of the restaurant industry and one of the main ways is portable condiments. Except there is a little more nuance to this situation left out of that. The truth is Heinz, the king of ketchup, is running out of it's famous condiment. What does this mean for the future? Well, I have a theory...

    Funny story about Taco Bell sauce packets:
    My dad is a regular at Taco Bell. He would always use tons of hot sauce on his food; he practically drank the stuff. The workers knew this, so James, the guy running the drive thru that day, gave us a mound of sauce. It was so much that it filled a gallon ice cream bucket and then some!
    It lasted us months!

      When I started at Taco Bell, I was told to put one sauce packet per one food item in the bag. And if a customer asked for extra, I had to up it to three sauce packets per one food item. Then I noticed that other new workers wouldn't have that training, so it kind of became just put a handful in the bag and leave it as that. Unless the customer asked for a specific amount.

    Man! As an objectively ketchup obsessed guy, I gotta tell ya… more accurately speaking, the history of ketchup is from Central Europe. The first time it was made, it was a type of sauce called “catch up” or “Catsup,” and the most historically known primary ingredient was assorted edible mushrooms. A simple way of making the sauce was taking a large quantity of mushrooms in a basket or bucket, covering in salt to extract the moisture, separating as much moisture as possible by squeezing through a cloth, seasoning by preference and taste, and using like that, the mostly dehydrated mushrooms would be usable in other dishes, or if prepared a certain way, could simply be a travel snack. To my knowledge, the Chinese fish pickling thing is more along the lines of a way to make a soup broth and preserving the fish.

    Hey Matt, I have a suggestion for a Food Theorie Episode. In modern cooking there are five basic sauces that are considered as so called mothersauces. Every other sauce there is can be created by altering these five. The mothersauces, as considered today are: Béchamel Sauce, Tomato Sauce, Espagnole Sauce, Velouté Sauce and Hollandaise Sauce. But among those is an imposter. The french author Auguste Escoffier first mentioned this definition in his book "Le guide culinaire", and he described the sauced as stated above with the one little difference, that he did not consider hollandaise a mothersauße, because there is a simpler more basic sauce, that is made the same way (a cold emulsion of egg(water) and oil), and this sauce is … mayonnaise. But because he did not list mayonnaise in the same paragraph as the other mothersauces, and only described his discovery in the introduction sentence above mayonnaise, that got lost in the official English translation, this information got lost and even disappeared from later publications. The cooking TH-camr Alex (He is a frech guy that does food oriented videos) had doubt about the legitimacy of hollandaise and went to the Paris library to requested to read in the original version to proof that. But to this day almost every article on the internet published the wrong mothersauce status of hollandaise, denying mayo his rightful place in the Olymp of sauces. (He did try to contact Wikipedia to "fix" the article and after half a year he managed to secure a side note on the English entry of "Frech Mother Sauces" about mayonnaise be the OG mothersauce.) I highly recommend watching Alex's original video, because this was his discovery and not mine. I just thought it would make for a nice Food Theorie Episode. (Man did I write a lot. I should probably got to sleep now xD)

      I like this theory idea a lot actually - trouble is, Matt & Steph aren't heavy drinkers, and nobody anywhere wants to be known as an alcoholic, so they'd have to do a best hangover cure episode over a LONG period of time, like months in development. Also, exactly what would work best as a hangover cure would vary wildly from person to person... but it could be done! Make it happen Matpat!
      My understanding is that what we call "hangovers" are actually caused by severe dehydration caused by alcohol consumption - the chemical causes you to lose water, and you'd feel the same way if you were trapped in a desert for several days - so the best hangover cures are often those that hydrate you quickly, like lots of water, or some smoothie recipes. I've heard that smoothies with lots of watermelon, cucumber, coconut, etc. can really help, largely due to their electrolytes & stuff. Also, some over-the-counter drugs could help, like Alka-Seltzer. All of which could make for a good test on Food Theory.

      That's standard procedure though. If they don't specify how manu they want. 1 ketchup for small, 2 for medium, 3 for large. Same with napkins. 1 per item. Meal (burger, fries, drink) is 3 napkins.

    Hitting the ketchup bottle in the 57 definitely works better than just shacking it. I worked at a Johnny Rockets in high school where we had to make smiley faces out of the ketchup coming out of the glass bottles. As you can imagine this was difficult. We actually found out that instead of your hand hitting the 57 the best way to do it was to keep your hand in the same place and moving the bottle to let the 57 hit your palm.

    Some late news from Germany. We had McD brand ketchup packages FOREVER by now. There is no such thing as "squeezy bottles of ketchup" not even if you stay inside for a meal. You want ketchup? You get a little bag! And McD has been selling their bottled up Ketchup and other sauces for years in super markets by now. Started as the usual McD brand, but for some reason had to change to Develey. Still, same same.
