Don and Ben start the episode talking about Apple watches, screen time and untethering from an iPhone. They then talk about Canadian names, or names that seem particularly Canadian to Ben at least. The real food safety talk starts with a deep dive on cheese safety. Don and Ben talk storage temperatures, explore hoop cheese and discuss Ben's go-to cheese safety paper from Rusty Bishop. The discussion goes into a texas botulism outbreak, old McDonalds hamburgers and frozen food cooking instructions. The episode ends on revisiting the food safety issues related to steaming (and not steaming) oysters. Oh and rent-a-duck.
