#EVERYSIMPSONSEVER: FOOD GUIDE

Next Thursday kicks off #Everysimpsonsever and in continuing our celebration we wanted to bring you some of our favorite food related episodes. Similar to every alcoholic drink in The Simpsons. If you love The Simpsons like we do, you probably share the same enthusiasm for this marathon and although we’re not encouraging anyone to fully binge on the Simpsons and food — we do encourage you to test your animated test buds. I mean, who doesn’t get hungry watching Homer chow down a few sprinkled doughnuts then heading over to Moe’s for a few Duff beers. Whatever gets your Simpsons flow going we’re sure these episodes will leave you searching for a few snacks while binging on the Simpsons. So sit back, take notes and get ready for an epic Simpsons meal time — starting August 21st on FXX.
