Stand up comic and TV favourite Wil Anderson is our special guest on the Food Bytes podcast this week.

Wil - who’s in Adelaide for the Fringe Festival - is full of beans as he chats to us about life growing up on a dairy farm, his passion for stand up comedy, breakfast radio and the challenges of living with chronic pain.

It’s a fascinating insight into what makes Wil tick.

And this week’s Friday Food Poll is a clash of the retro favourites, with devilled eggs up against devils on horseback!

She is a comedy goddess and a romance goddess, but is Effie a kitchen goddess? All will be revealed when everyone's favourite former hairdresser turned superstar joins Sarah and Kevin this week.

As she prepares for her Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show 'Frigid to Feral,' Effie shares some of her worldly thoughts on a smorgasbord of subjects including menopause, coffee, kitchen gadgets and even some from her marital boudoir! Like everything Effie does, it is wickedly unpredictable.

The snack aisle gets a guernsey this week as the Food Poll pits Cheezels against Burger Rings in a preservatives battle for the ages.

Elizabeth Hewson is a wearer of many aprons - home cook, recipe writer, columnist, wife, mother and author of the beautiful and practical new book 'Home Food' (Murdoch Books).

Elizabeth's food philosophy is easy to understand and achievable because, as she says,  sometimes dinner just needs to be dinner, not a Hollywood production with bells, whistles, oohs and ahhhs, but comfort food that embraces the imperfection, the mess and the reality of our modern lives. Elizabeth shares her two secret ingredients and even works the old BBQ chook into the show.     

Recent show guest Danny McGinlay inspired this week's Food Poll: it's a toastie up against the jaffle.

You can't help but like Danny McGinlay. Not only is he funny, clever, smart (and punctual), he smells good - even on radio and podcasts. One of the hardest-working comedians on the circuit, Danny does it all, from The Front Bar to his Comedy Festival shows, the Danny/ Boyd Bulldogs podcast and his infamous AFL match day banners, his performing plate is always full, but what about the ones in the McGinlay kitchen?

Danny's love of a baked bean jaffle is no laughing matter and his cooking tip highlights a much underrated chicken option. 

As well as conducting his own private Twisties poll, Danny has some thoughts on our Food Poll this week as we ask for a yay or nay on cottage cheese.
