food IS a theme park
As you might imagine, the DFB Team has more than its fair share of food debates.
Mushy inside… oh, yeah.
From whether those Gideon’s Bakehouse cookies are realllyyy worth the wait or not, to “would you eat this” hot dog toppings, our meetings can sometimes (OK, often) be derailed with “nosh or not” discussions.
