Thank you and goodbye from me, Simon Majumdar.

We'll speak to you soon on the next episode of Eat My Globe.

Things you didn't know, you did know about food.

I never went.

No. Simon Majumdar was one of the first judges.

Oh, okay.

At the first one in Las Vegas.

It got dumped in Boston Harbor, and eventually, the British hired a Scotsman to steal it, all for a cup of tea.

And if you want to understand just how seriously the British take that cup, you need to meet my friend, Simon Majumdar.

[upbeat music] Today on Fork You, we are going to make sense of the madness of tea.

I am your chief medical explanationist, Dr. Terry Simpson, and this is Fork You, Fork University, where we make sense of the madness, bust a few myths, and teach you a little bit about food and medicine.

Simon drinks what he calls builder's tea.

It's a big mug, a teabag, brewed for four minutes exactly, and a touch of real milk, and the hot water better be hot.

I had to bring out the kettle that gets water to 212 degrees Fahrenheit because, God forbid, Simon Majumdar should be subjected to lukewarm tea.

His tea reminds me of organic chemistry.

Him saying deconstructed, what's interesting here in the growth of the show is that, uh, he's gonna present that to our judge.

We're gonna find out it's, it's Simon Majumdar.

Um, and Simon Majumdar will get so sick of that word.

Yeah.

He's, he-

Yeah.

Maybe with a different judge.

Um, Simon Majumdar does not bring up, like, does bring up the fact that it's not a sandwich-

Just drink responsibly if you do.

Uh, so I was out and about with my buddy Simon Majumdar the other day, a food writer, food critic, um, wonderful judge on the Food Network, and host of, uh, the podcast Eat My Globe, which I highly recommend if you love learning details about food, and the history, and beyond.

So I had a, a wonderful day hanging out with him.

It was, uh, really luxurious because I just don't get to spend that kind of time with, uh, friends much, or family for that matter.

Oh, nice

... um, with Simon Majumdar, a good, a dear friend of mine, uh, great guy.

And it was lovely just to talk and hang out on the grounds and to go into the museum and then have dinner there, and it really is stunning, and we are super lucky to have it.

And I don't know, uh, was it Seattle and maybe San Francisco that turned it down originally or something?
