Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is time for our Foody Friday segment with Neil Sabadra.
Neil heard every Saturday two to five and that is
the Fork Report, and occasionally he broadcasts outside the studio,
as he did this past Saturday where he and I
were at the Wild Fork into Lagoon and Miguel and.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
That was fun.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
It was great time, a lot of people, great location,
great food at the Wild Fork, frozen food but not
frozen food. You try it out and you'll see this
is way beyond that different concept indeed, and it works beautifully.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And then.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Coming up a week from tomorrow next Saturday, it's at
the Smart and Final in where.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Newport no Lake Forest. I knew that Smart and Final
in Lake Forest. A week from tomorrow, the twenty third,
I'll be out there to kick off pasta.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Thon and I will be there and I will be
asking you to donate and give you shake you down
for some money and you can buy. I don't know
what are they giving something? You get a brand new
nothing if you donate what I.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Mean, you donate they you know what they usually do.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
So they do something. I know in the past.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I think they've given away some olive oil and things
like that I'll bring some swag.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I'll have some Fok Report swag.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Excellent. All right, let's get right into foody Friday.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And I did not know this, by the way, even
though I was at Costco a couple of days ago
doing a Costco run. Just made a major change to
the food court. Haven't been in the food court for
a little while.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
And this is big news.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I mean, world War three could break out, and I'm
more concerned about this. You know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, there seems to be some mixed views on this
as well. And I know just down the street here
from the studio in Burbank, they have a Costco here
and they had it closed up for some time.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I think I might pop ey there.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
This morning they had the food section, little food court
and they were remodeling. So you're seeing this. This one
is out of icelia. I believe that somebody saw that
they are removing the sit down tables and having stand
up kind of cocktail tables. I guess they call them
where you stand up. And some people are really bent
(02:16):
out of shape. Why you go there for lunch? I mean,
who likes to eat lunch standing up?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Okay, so you get a couple different points of view.
Some people are like, hey, you're not there to spend
the day. You're coming out of going to Costco and
shopping and you grab a hot dog or something, chips,
whatever it is. You consume that and you go. Some
people I read one comment says, you know, some people
(02:45):
are like, I love to be able to relax my
feet and sit down. Other people are like, hey, people
flop down, spread out way too much of the food court.
This is for grabbing a bite on your way out,
not a family gathering. Read Hey, Mexicans, don't bring your kids.
That's what I That's what I read.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Nicely done. I've been going there for years and years
years i have not noticed people. Well, I go very quickly.
I'll sit down, eat my pizza or eat my hot dog,
and then I'm I'm done.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Our fruit court is packed at our Costco.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, usually it is.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And then the usually Sundays and and sometimes I'll go
up there and go, hey, do you mind if I
join you and I'll just you know, sit down next
to people.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yeah? I did that. I want to sit down. I
don't talk to them, I just want to sit down.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Here's the change at Costco that absolutely ripped me to shreds.
And that is number one, getting rid of one of
the best chios on the planet.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Oh for that.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And yeah, putting in that huge turkey, which I mean,
I mean the huge cookie, and then their turkey sandwich
on the peini, Eh, not very good.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
What was the other one?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The roast roast? Another one and that was like a
ten dollars sandwich. But that's a big, big sandwich. It's
actually two sandwiches. Okay, yeah, but you could get a
whole pizza for the same price at Costco.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Pizza is still great, you know, massive, massive pizza is.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Good, little greasy, but it's very doughey. And have you
ever brought one home and the taken baby?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Because the pizzas are so big they don't fit in
my oven.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
What do you what?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Do you have an easy bake?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
No, it's it's they're big, big pizza.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, they're sizeable. But you it's an oven, man, a
house oven. Yeah, I didn't fit. Maybe I have never
done that, but I should try it. I think you'll
find that it doesn't fit in the oven. Now, you
could cut it in half and put it, but I
wouldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
No, I have.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I actually have a full man size of it. Yeah,
I know you heard right. I said man size oven
that I could cook one of those pizzas.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
But so mixed reviews.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You'll start seeing these once they costco starts in certain areas,
it tends to become the norm, and they go, you know,
start pushing them out everywhere else. So we shall see
if people like standing up. We had some of these
at our house, but they had high seats on them,
and nobody uses them. No, nobody uses I won't sit
him because I have no balance and I'll just tip over.
(05:12):
But you'll do that whether you're standing in the city.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Also driving also true.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
But you know, when when you talk about stand up tables,
you don't think about having lunch.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
You think about ordures, you think about drinks.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Not in New York. When you're in New York, they
have a lot of standing tables. Pizza joints have that
kind of rail that you go and you lean up
against and you eat at the rail and then.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You bail because well, in New York, footprints are so
small because the land is so dear that there's no
place to eat.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But I'm saying people do it if you it's just sure.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I think it's horrible. I think it's.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Absolutely I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Gonna you want to cry, Yeah, you big baby, You're
gonna sit there and cry about your your tables at Costco.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, yeah, with your.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Are still and it's still by the way, a buck
fifty for a hot dog.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
And a drink and they have not changed that in
sixty years.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Do you have to pay more for chips or does
that come with it too? No, I haven't had it
in forever.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Just a hot dog in the drink?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Buck?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Is that your go to?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
No? But Clark Howard, our friend Clark Howard, his favorite
restaurant restaurant in the world is the Costco at on Maui.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And it's what the hot dog with or is it
spam hot dog? I just love it.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Also the hot dog.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You really went to hell when they stopped using Hebrew
National hot dogs. They used to use Hebrew National, which
is an insanely high quality hot dog.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
As a matter of fact, let's take a break, because
that goes right into the next segue of sausages.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Of sausages. Sausage. Yeah, that's the other thing they used
to have solving. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
They Costco used to have that Polish dog. It was
wonderful and they knocked that off. I tell you this,
this is one of the reasons I'm a trader Joe's
I just want to point that out.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Look at you.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I am a quizzling. Oh do I have a quizzling
story to tell you?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
At some point, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Quizzling was the guy who ran Norway under the Nazi government?
Oh yeah, yeah, that's a quizzl that is considered quizzling.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You are a quizling. And the things you remember, like.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Like a Benedict Donald. You know, it's the same thing.
You're a Benedict Donald. You're a quizzling.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Your name is mud Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And I was once in Norway vacationing. I still did
a broadcast out of the broadcasting company over there was
a national company when you cared about the station. Yeah,
And for some reason we were doing a broadcast. I
don't remember why, but I'm sitting there in this huge
broadcast booth and the board operator, the engineer, a woman, said,
(07:48):
do you know where you're sitting at this desk?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I go, yeah, you know, it looks like a desk.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So that's where Quizzling announced the puppet government under the
Nazi Germany. You're sitting in his chair. Whoa, how's that
for history?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Man? I got goosebumps.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
When did he create the warm sandwich shop? Quizzling? Quiz No,
sorry my bad.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Now we're in the middle of Foody Friday with the
of course and tomorrow two to five host of the
Fork Report, also all Things food. All right, we were
talking about Costco hot dogs and we segue into sausage
and Germany, and let's combine the two and talk about
what's going on.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You know, you gotta love innovation or problem solving, creative
problem solving. So you got this butcher in northeast Germany
and he's come up with a solution, what he believes
is a really really elegant solution to the country's growing.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Raccoon problem. Sorry, and let me start with it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It tastes like chicken, right, well, so's he wants to
turn them into sausages, another meat product. So he's his
name is Michael Reese. He is a hunter, and he's
got a but your shop in Kate.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I don't know where that is.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
They say it's ninety kilometers or so west of Berlin,
and he thinks that this is a great way to
solve the problem of having this particular I mean, do
you ever deal with trash bandits, those little bastards. No, yeah,
they're uh you know, I'm a big guy, six feet
(09:29):
to fifty and I've had one stand on its hind
legs in my backyard and come at me.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
They are vicious. They are yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, I was like, I mean, seriously, it was like
a foot and a half tall. Imagine Kno running at me,
and it just I was waiting to hear him, but
a lot Okay, vicious, but yeah it was. They're mean
and they put their arms up like an THI laws, yeah,
and so I'm for this. I I think there are
(10:01):
creative ways to utilize sausage making. Sausage making is not
only time loved tradition, but especially in Germany. Yeah, especially
in Germany. But I think that it lends itself to different,
you know, different types of.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Well, there's all kinds of side blood sausage, blood sausages.
I mean, there's some weird sausages that's made with blood.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
No, I find it.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Discoglood sausage is pretty rough made with blood. Yeah, it's
it's so irony. It's so it just bloody. Yes, there's
it's a little much from It's not my taste.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So the point is they have some weird sausages out there,
with weird meats.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You can bind them.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You can find rabbit, rattlesnake, great combinations that you wouldn't imagine.
So to me, you know, if you're killing a raccoon
and they're going to be dead, you might as well
use them. They throw them into a trash bin and
they're clean. You can they're actually clean animals. Have you
(11:13):
ever seen them eat? They wash their hands before they eat.
I'm not joking. They literally look it up. They Yeah,
they are cute until you piss them off and then
they know but head and this is how you know
they can use them. So little meatballs made from raccoon
meat whatever it is, raccoon balls, Yeah, I guess you
(11:35):
could call them that if you're a horrible marketer, you know,
if you just really bad at marketing and don't want
people to eat.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Them, you have to you have to call this guy up.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But salami all kinds of Yeah, Sami has some weird
stuff in it too, now you're right, of course it
meats around the Will you ever ask what's in that? No?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
When you're eating those processed meats, you eat it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Hey, uh yeah, that's weird that if anybody would try
it to you.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I don't know if they do a mail order.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Business out of that little shop out of Germany.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, see if you.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Can get it and they send it on dry ice
and ship it over all, right, how are we doing
for time? We're okay, Yeah, this was kind of interesting. Aldi,
which you hear about all the time. I think it's
a German company, isn't it talking about Aldi? No idea anyway,
it's you wrote this a thirteen dollar kitchen Aid copycat
(12:28):
the appliance that you're buying and every home cook should have.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Now what can you get?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Okay, what kitchen Aid anything do you get for thirteen bucks?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
O'kay?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Start?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So Aldi they have the I think it's called the
Ambiano five speed hand mixer. That's the one we're talking
about now. But and I'll get into that in a second.
But there is a stand mixer. You know, I have
a Kitchen Aid stand mixer.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It is you know, your go to Yeah, kitchen that's
mixer of the world. Yeah, it's fact expensive, three hundred
dollars start. You can get even more expensive. But they
have a stand mixer at Aldi that they offer that
is fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That they was is they.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Say, is a competitor to the popular Kitchen Aid version
and you can find these Aldi is pretty interesting if
you haven't been. They have this one aisle in the
center that just has I can have everything from tires
to whatever. It just is a weird Well, now they've
got this hand mixer, you know, the hand mixer, uh
(13:34):
not the table base that has the little you know,
the little spinners on there or whatever, one of those
things called the beaters, right that you.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Got the mixer with the you know that the little
tiny guy that was the other one.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Now this one just popped up and this is the
handheld version with the beaters that we used to lick
as a kid. You know the double that's the double
beater double one.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Now that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Normally goes for about sixty bucks if you get the
handheld kitchen Aid version. Well, at Aldi right now they
have this new version that's thirteen bucks and it looks
damn near identical to it, very similar in style, and
it's got a two hundred and fifty watt motor and um,
you know, little less power than the Kitchen Aid.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
But yeah, but how what's the quality?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Because if you try to it's worth thirteen dollars, then
you're going to go out and get it.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I would just let to know what a thirteen dollar mixer.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, think about a kitchen Aid is disposable. They've been
around for a long time, and that brand demands more money.
I don't know what the parts are. You know, if
you've ever had to go in one. I've fixed mine
a couple of times. They're workhorses. But I've gone in
there and pulled things apart and changed things in my
kitchen Aid before. They just work forever. Now is it
(14:54):
that quality? I don't know, but I'm curious about it.
Thirteen bucks versus sixteen, or fifty bucks versus three hundred,
it'd be worth a try.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It's like Harbor Freight. Now.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I have different levels of tools in both my shop
and you know, when I'm working on something around the house,
you know, Milwaukee is my standard for the high end,
high end, but I have other stuff too, and sometimes
I go to Harbor Freight and just grab something. And
I don't care how long it lasts me because I'm
using it for one particular job or something, so who knows.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, and I'll get curious about it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
And I love the kitchen aid by the way it is,
and there are I've given my daughter a couple of
different ones that were kind of cheap, o creep on ones. Oh,
good for you, and they and they fall apart. No,
she ended up getting a kitchen aid.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, why did you just get her a kitchen aid
in the first place, because she got it from someone
for free? Oh I thought you were free.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Are you hurting? Do you need a couple of bucks?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I'm just telling you. I got it in a long time bill.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
What do you need? You name it twenty thirty bucks?
What do you need
It is time for our Foody Friday segment with Neil Sabadra.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Not in New York. When you're in New York, they
have a lot of standing tables. Pizza joints have that
kind of rail that you go and you lean up
against and you eat at the rail and then.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You bail because well, in New York, footprints are so
small because the land is so dear that there's no
place to eat.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But I'm saying people do it if you it's just sure.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I think it's horrible. I think it's.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Absolutely I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Gonna you want to cry, Yeah, you big baby, You're
gonna sit there and cry about your your tables at Costco.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, yeah, with your.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Are still and it's still by the way, a buck
fifty for a hot dog.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
And a drink and they have not changed that in
sixty years.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Do you have to pay more for chips or does
that come with it too? No, I haven't had it
in forever.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Just a hot dog in the drink?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Buck?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Is that your go to?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
No? But Clark Howard, our friend Clark Howard, his favorite
restaurant restaurant in the world is the Costco at on Maui.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And it's what the hot dog with or is it
spam hot dog? I just love it.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Also the hot dog.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You really went to hell when they stopped using Hebrew
National hot dogs. They used to use Hebrew National, which
is an insanely high quality hot dog.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
As a matter of fact, let's take a break, because
that goes right into the next segue of sausages.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Of sausages. Sausage. Yeah, that's the other thing they used
to have solving. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
They Costco used to have that Polish dog. It was
wonderful and they knocked that off. I tell you this,
this is one of the reasons I'm a trader Joe's
I just want to point that out.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Look at you.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I am a quizzling. Oh do I have a quizzling
story to tell you?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
At some point, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Quizzling was the guy who ran Norway under the Nazi government?
Oh yeah, yeah, that's a quizzl that is considered quizzling.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You are a quizling. And the things you remember, like.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Like a Benedict Donald. You know, it's the same thing.
You're a Benedict Donald. You're a quizzling.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Your name is mud Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And I was once in Norway vacationing. I still did
a broadcast out of the broadcasting company over there was
a national company when you cared about the station. Yeah,
And for some reason we were doing a broadcast. I
don't remember why, but I'm sitting there in this huge
broadcast booth and the board operator, the engineer, a woman, said,
(07:48):
do you know where you're sitting at this desk?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I go, yeah, you know, it looks like a desk.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So that's where Quizzling announced the puppet government under the
Nazi Germany. You're sitting in his chair. Whoa, how's that
for history?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Man? I got goosebumps.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
When did he create the warm sandwich shop? Quizzling? Quiz No,
sorry my bad.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Now we're in the middle of Foody Friday with the
of course and tomorrow two to five host of the
Fork Report, also all Things food. All right, we were
talking about Costco hot dogs and we segue into sausage
and Germany, and let's combine the two and talk about
what's going on.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You know, you gotta love innovation or problem solving, creative
problem solving. So you got this butcher in northeast Germany
and he's come up with a solution, what he believes
is a really really elegant solution to the country's growing.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Raccoon problem. Sorry, and let me start with it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It tastes like chicken, right, well, so's he wants to
turn them into sausages, another meat product. So he's his
name is Michael Reese. He is a hunter, and he's
got a but your shop in Kate.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I don't know where that is.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
They say it's ninety kilometers or so west of Berlin,
and he thinks that this is a great way to
solve the problem of having this particular I mean, do
you ever deal with trash bandits, those little bastards. No, yeah,
they're uh you know, I'm a big guy, six feet
(09:29):
to fifty and I've had one stand on its hind
legs in my backyard and come at me.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
They are vicious. They are yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, I was like, I mean, seriously, it was like
a foot and a half tall. Imagine Kno running at me,
and it just I was waiting to hear him, but
a lot Okay, vicious, but yeah it was. They're mean
and they put their arms up like an THI laws, yeah,
and so I'm for this. I I think there are
(10:01):
creative ways to utilize sausage making. Sausage making is not
only time loved tradition, but especially in Germany. Yeah, especially
in Germany. But I think that it lends itself to different,
you know, different types of.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Well, there's all kinds of side blood sausage, blood sausages.
I mean, there's some weird sausages that's made with blood.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
No, I find it.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Discoglood sausage is pretty rough made with blood. Yeah, it's
it's so irony. It's so it just bloody. Yes, there's
it's a little much from It's not my taste.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So the point is they have some weird sausages out there,
with weird meats.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You can bind them.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You can find rabbit, rattlesnake, great combinations that you wouldn't imagine.
So to me, you know, if you're killing a raccoon
and they're going to be dead, you might as well
use them. They throw them into a trash bin and
they're clean. You can they're actually clean animals. Have you
(11:13):
ever seen them eat? They wash their hands before they eat.
I'm not joking. They literally look it up. They Yeah,
they are cute until you piss them off and then
they know but head and this is how you know
they can use them. So little meatballs made from raccoon
meat whatever it is, raccoon balls, Yeah, I guess you
(11:35):
could call them that if you're a horrible marketer, you know,
if you just really bad at marketing and don't want
people to eat.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Them, you have to you have to call this guy up.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But salami all kinds of Yeah, Sami has some weird
stuff in it too, now you're right, of course it
meats around the Will you ever ask what's in that? No?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
When you're eating those processed meats, you eat it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Hey, uh yeah, that's weird that if anybody would try
it to you.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I don't know if they do a mail order.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Business out of that little shop out of Germany.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, see if you.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Can get it and they send it on dry ice
and ship it over all, right, how are we doing
for time? We're okay, Yeah, this was kind of interesting. Aldi,
which you hear about all the time. I think it's
a German company, isn't it talking about Aldi? No idea anyway,
it's you wrote this a thirteen dollar kitchen Aid copycat
(12:28):
the appliance that you're buying and every home cook should have.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Now what can you get?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Okay, what kitchen Aid anything do you get for thirteen bucks?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
O'kay?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Start?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So Aldi they have the I think it's called the
Ambiano five speed hand mixer. That's the one we're talking
about now. But and I'll get into that in a second.
But there is a stand mixer. You know, I have
a Kitchen Aid stand mixer.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It is you know, your go to Yeah, kitchen that's
mixer of the world. Yeah, it's fact expensive, three hundred
dollars start. You can get even more expensive. But they
have a stand mixer at Aldi that they offer that
is fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That they was is they.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Say, is a competitor to the popular Kitchen Aid version
and you can find these Aldi is pretty interesting if
you haven't been. They have this one aisle in the
center that just has I can have everything from tires
to whatever. It just is a weird Well, now they've
got this hand mixer, you know, the hand mixer, uh
(13:34):
not the table base that has the little you know,
the little spinners on there or whatever, one of those
things called the beaters, right that you.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Got the mixer with the you know that the little
tiny guy that was the other one.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Now this one just popped up and this is the
handheld version with the beaters that we used to lick
as a kid. You know the double that's the double
beater double one.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Now that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Normally goes for about sixty bucks if you get the
handheld kitchen Aid version. Well, at Aldi right now they
have this new version that's thirteen bucks and it looks
damn near identical to it, very similar in style, and
it's got a two hundred and fifty watt motor and um,
you know, little less power than the Kitchen Aid.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
But yeah, but how what's the quality?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Because if you try to it's worth thirteen dollars, then
you're going to go out and get it.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I would just let to know what a thirteen dollar mixer.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, think about a kitchen Aid is disposable. They've been
around for a long time, and that brand demands more money.
I don't know what the parts are. You know, if
you've ever had to go in one. I've fixed mine
a couple of times. They're workhorses. But I've gone in
there and pulled things apart and changed things in my
kitchen Aid before. They just work forever. Now is it
(14:54):
that quality? I don't know, but I'm curious about it.
Thirteen bucks versus sixteen, or fifty bucks versus three hundred,
it'd be worth a try.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It's like Harbor Freight. Now.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I have different levels of tools in both my shop
and you know, when I'm working on something around the house,
you know, Milwaukee is my standard for the high end,
high end, but I have other stuff too, and sometimes
I go to Harbor Freight and just grab something. And
I don't care how long it lasts me because I'm
using it for one particular job or something, so who knows.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, and I'll get curious about it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
And I love the kitchen aid by the way it is,
and there are I've given my daughter a couple of
different ones that were kind of cheap, o creep on ones. Oh,
good for you, and they and they fall apart. No,
she ended up getting a kitchen aid.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, why did you just get her a kitchen aid
in the first place, because she got it from someone
for free? Oh I thought you were free.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Are you hurting? Do you need a couple of bucks?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I'm just telling you. I got it in a long time bill.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
What do you need? You name it twenty thirty bucks?
What do you need
