About this episode

What if your whole life could be mapped out in a single meal? In this Fantasy Restaurant warm-up, Martin builds a menu entirely out of memory - a dark and stormy from a Decatur bar, saline-injected wings from a long-gone college dive, a bacon-loaded salad from his family's Wisconsin cabin, and a milkshake that doubles as the backdrop for the day he quit a job. Along the way we get a mini tour of a life split between Indiana roots and Wisconsin summers, and a reminder that the best comfort food always comes with a story attached.
