Ben and Don start the podcast talking about the mystery of Ben's microphone and audio quality. They go on to talk about Ben's current and Don's previous participation the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods. The conversation goes into Ben's trip to see food science and fermentation microbiology in action as part of a series of distillery tours in Kentucky. Ben then diverts the conversation to Hockey Safety Talk (and Don indulges him) as they talk about neck lacerations and concussions in amateur and professional hockey. Getting back to food safety the guys take a test to find out what foodborne pathogen they are. They get into a discussion about social media and food safety, recalled foods and end the show on a thanksgiving turkey thawing deep dive.
