TV

In the highly anticipated first episode of The Young Pope, now available to stream on HBO Go, the newly elected young pope (played, as you may have heard, by Jude Law), walks into a stately dining room in the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace for what is presumably one of his first breakfasts as the leader of the Catholic Church.

Breakfast can start revolutions. It’s widely believed that it was the cultural shift from alcohol to coffee that spurred the social, intellectual, and artistic movements known as the Age of Enlightenment.

H. Jon Benjamin’s voice is so likable, I would use an alarm clock that plays a recording of him urging me to wake up if it were available. Best known for providing the meaty timbre of the titular characters on FX’s Archer and Fox’s Bob’s Burgers (as well as the talking can of vegetables in Wet Hot American Summer), Benjamin is also a seasoned comedian whose career dates back to the early ‘90s, when he performed with other cult favorites like David Cross. 

If you've ever found yourself wondering what the food in the movies and on TV actually tastes like, Andrew Rea is here to provide you with some answers.
