Chocolate Chip cookies were invented in Massachusetts.

They were, yes.

At the Toll House Inn.

You're right.

At the Toll House Inn, Ruth Graves Wakefield is her name. One day,

she didn't have the ingredients she needed for the cookie she wanted to make, so she said,

I'm going to try this thing. And it worked, and now it's like the greatest cookie in the world,

and now that location is a Wendy's. This is the Sporkful.

It's not for foodies, it's for eaters.

I'm Dan Pashman.

Each week on our show, we obsess about food

to learn more about people,

and we're coming to live

from WBUR City Space in Boston.

Thank you. Tonight we're welcoming three very special guests to the stage.

I'm going to talk with each of them individually, and then all four of us are going to tackle some hot takes.

So get ready for that.

My first guest is a social media sensation. He's a reporter for WBZ News Radio here in Boston. You may have seen his viral videos that cover all things

Massachusetts, from the tragic closing of both Duncan's in Stowe, Mass, to a wedding of Chuckie

Cheese in Everett, to the grumpy donut man who operates out of a laundromat in Brockton.

You know him as reporter, Matt.
