Welcome to the Eater Upsell. This is Amanda Clute, editor-in-chief of Eater.

I am joined as always by my co-host Daniel.

Hi Daniel. Food Stories, let's it's food stories day. We've got some stories. We've got some stories. July was a busy month. A lot of pop culture stories so Greg's gonna call in later. Yes, Greg has a lot to work through today.

We haven't seen each other's lists, so there's going to be a lot of surprises here.

A lot of attempted takes.

Yeah.

That's all you can really do here is just... attempted takes. Yeah.

It's all you can really do here is just give a take.

All right, let's get into it.

There are three things that happen this month that I would categorize in the same like silly food world things category.

It's been kind of a shitty month

so like I'm totally down to have a silly day.

Yeah, let's not talk about the icons in our worlds that have died.

Let's talk about the activated charcoal food festival,

the experimental water bar, and the Cheet Day Museum.

Great. I actually don't know that much about any of these.

Okay, which one do you want me to start with?

Activated Charcoal Museum, what is that?

It's an activated charcoal food festival in San Francisco.

It's called 50 Shades of Charcoal.

50 Shades of Charcoal.

Yeah.
