In this episode of the Over Seasoned podcast, the crew records at Icon Studios in Atlanta and dives into wild food travel stories from Thailand and Mexico. From spice levels that hit way harder than expected, to dispensary-fueled eating sprees, bathroom survival strategies, and what not to order on travel days, this episode is a brutally honest look at the risks of culinary adventure. The guys also go deep on tequila culture in Jalisco, touring distilleries in the town of Tequila, breaking down how tequila is actually made, the difference between tequila and mezcal, blue agave farming, and the controversial additives and lawsuits shaking up the tequila industry. This is the real talk about what happens when curiosity beats common sense.

In this episode of OverSeasoned, the crew dives headfirst into a full-blown pho obsession after discovering unforgettable Vietnamese soup in Manila and Thailand. What starts as travel food fatigue turns into a deep appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine, broth culture, and the subtle differences between Northern pho vs Southern pho.

They debate the Michelin Guide’s impact on restaurants, why Bib Gourmand spots often beat three-star dining, and how global cities like Manila and Montreal can deliver world-class bowls of pho. The episode also explores soup culture across countries, including Colombian classics like caldo de costilla, and how those traditions connect to the love of pho (& soup season writ large)

If you love food travel, Vietnamese food, and Michelin debates… this one’s for you.
