A weekly tour of every chain restaurant, fast-food drive-thru, and off-menu daydream.

Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger eat their way across the strip mall of American chain cuisine — and the membership picks up where the show puts its silverware down: bonus feeds, the full Maynk and Munch Madness archive, ad-free episodes, and conversations that don't make the public cut.

50+ recent episodes 1 years on the menu This week · Movita Juice Bar with Julian Stern
Member feed · 200+ vault episodes

The whole back-room menu, no velvet rope.

Every Maynk commentary, every Crock-Dough-Burn-Pho-Est, every bonus episode and feed exclusive — unlocked the second you sign up. Here's a peek at what's waiting.

What you get

Four things on every plate, every month.

Membership is a single tier — sign up once, get everything below until you don't want it anymore.

Ad-free episodes

Every weekly show, stripped of mid-rolls — the same chain-restaurant ranking, none of the freeway billboard energy.

Maynk, Mash Off, and Munch Madness

Bonus serial runs, host commentaries, and bracket-season-only specials that never hit the public feed.

Private feed, any app

Drop your personal RSS link into Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast — same play button, members-only inventory.

Listener community segments

Voicemails, mailbags, and after-hours arguments about whether Sizzler counts as a chain. (It does.)

Become a member

Sign up once. Eat well — and listen weirder — forever.

Membership is the easiest way to keep a weekly chain-restaurant podcast in the universe. It funds the road trips, the food poisoning, and the weeks we spend explaining what a Maynk is to people who have never seen the Muppets.

Pick a plan to the right. Your phone — the one in your pocket, not a new app — gets a private RSS link, and the next time you press play you're inside the vault.

  • Every weekly episode, ad-free, the morning it drops.
  • The full members-only feed: Maynk, Munch Madness deep cuts, bonus mailbags.
  • One subscription, every podcast app, cancel any time.

About the show

Two men, one breadbasket, every chain.

The long-running comedy podcast that takes chain food seriously — and never quite manages to.

The podcast about chain restaurants. Comedians Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger review fast food/sit-down chains and generally argue about food/everything.

Since the show started, hosts Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger have eaten through every drive-thru window, sit-down booth, and roadside diner in their immediate path — and a lot of restaurants you've never heard of. The membership funds the next twelve months of doing that.
