Comedian Myq Kaplan comes by and asks Danny to make a Thai Noodle Bowl with Peanut Sauce.

Myq became a vegetarian in college and wasn't going to revert back to a childhood meal of pizza or hot dogs. He talks about the decision to go vegetarian, how it actually expanded his palate, and poses a question that will make you rethink asking a vegetarian "do you ever want to break edge?"

That however comes later. We begin the episode with Myq telling the story of him accidentally starting comedy when music was the original goal, how growing up in a musically oriented family felt forced at times, and how the love returned when he found an instrument of his own choice.

Myq also gives some great advice on "looking backwards" if you're looking for what you're passionate about, and offers an alternative to the mindset "fake it till you make it."
