Cookbook All About Earthbound (Day 3410 - 3/27/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3409) | Next Vlog (Day 3411)

The vlog starts out with Stephen saying that they have Lunch Bunch today. Stephen says that every week they have a poll for Lunch Bunch with 3 restaurants to choose from. He said that all 3 choices this week were BBQ places: BBQ House, Mission BBQ, and Dickey's Barbecue Pit. Stephen mentions that all 3 locations are very close to each other. He predicted that BBQ house would slightly win over Mission BBQ and that Dickey's Barbecue Pit would have no votes and that is exactly what happened. He mentions that the price is cheaper at BBQ House, but with a tip the price is basically the same as Mission BBQ. Stephen said that there is a downside to BBQ House which is that it is a sit-down restaurant so they can't stay and chat for a long time after their meal.

The go to BBQ House and Mallory gives Stephen a hard time because he started using an ND filter when filming outside. Stephen comments that it is funny that they went to BBQ House because most of the people who voted to go here didn't even show up today. Dan said that Lindsey couldn't come because her pollen allergy was acting up due to all the pollen everywhere. Austin says that his daughter Lilly calls him out for having a car covered in pollen. Stephen said that this is going to be the last Lunch Bunch for a while since they are going to Japan, but that Austin, Nikki, and Roland could still have lunch together. Dan says that they should continue to make the poll while they're in Japan and Stephen interprets it as them making the poll from Japan and choosing where they get to go for Lunch Bunch in Myrtle Beach.

Mal got a new screen protector for her phone since her old one broke. She says that this is her 3rd screen protector. Stephen says that he has had his phone for longer than Mal, but his screen protector has never broken. Mal says that it's because Stephen's screen protector is edge-to-edge and her screen protector isn't so it gets chipped on the side and breaks. Stephen says that Mal always insists that he has to put the screen protector on even though she's never tried doing it before.

They also received a package from fangamer from the KickStarter they backed 2 years ago. It is "Mother's Cookbook" which is a cookbook of dishes inspired by Earthbound items and is sold on fangamer's website. Stephen said that he knew a lot of the talented people that were working on it and that they follow through with it so he backed it. He also mentioned that you can still get a StephenVlog key chain on their website as well. Stephen says that the recipes in the cookbook were made by a chef named Brian who Stephen knew since they both made fan videos around the same time for the Mother series.

They spent the evening cleaning up office. Stephen said that they had all the parts he used to build the streaming computer in January like boxes in screws all laying around in the office. He then mentions that Alex and Hayley are going with them to the airport because it was cheaper to fly out of Myrtle Beach than Birmingham. Stephen said they also redid the organization of the games on the shelves by putting Wii, Wii U, and Switch games all together.
