Lunchtime With The Simpsons (Reheat)

Dan’s dreams come true when he visits The Simpsons writers’ room to talk about the role food plays on the show and behind the scenes. Turns out the writers are just as obsessed with food as all of the show’s food jokes suggest. Plus, Simpsons creator Matt Groening explains how new technologies have changed the show’s food jokes over time.

This episode originally aired on August 13, 2018, and May 30, 2022, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Anne Saini, and Aviva DeKornfeld. It was mixed by Dan Dzula and Jared O'Connell. The Sporkful production team now includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O’Hara, Jared O’Connell, Kameel Stanley, and India Rice. This update was produced by Gianna Palmer.
