On this episode of Cooking Issues, Dave and the crew reconnect for a sprawling, high-energy session that ranges from centrifuge butter failures to 24-hour pumpernickel experiments, with diversions into the nightmare of strawberry seeds, giant pretzels, and the strangest tips ever left in bars and restaurants. Along the way: raspberry beret brainworms, peeling strawberry heresy, and why changing your water filter matters more than you think.

• Centrifuge Butter Problems and Strawberry Seed Disgust – Quinn’s stalled butter dehydration project leads to a deep dive into centrifugal puréeing, why strawberry seeds ruin everything, and a passionate argument about why peeling strawberries is a crime against food.

• Westphalian Pumpernickel and Giant Pretzels – Dave details his attempt at real Westphalian pumpernickel—pure rye, 24 hours of low-temperature steam baking, and 48 hours of aging—plus recommendations for Pennsylvania butter pretzels, massive local potato chips, and surviving blistered hands from slicing bricks of bread.

• The Craziest Tips Ever Received – The crew shares the most bizarre tips they’ve encountered, from stacks of $2 bills to fortune cookie fortunes to a memorable crack rock offering—plus a rant about Bible-verse tippers and the fine line between generosity and insult.
