Greggs with Nick Wiger

Ep. 3
•

Wow! Is what our guest Nick Wiger would say about this, because that's one of his things! The host of Doughboys and Get Played joins us to talk about Greggs, Britain's biggest fast food chain (we're pretty sure, anyway, and we don't care if we're wrong). We explore the sausage roll obsession, look at Greggs' very mid-looking other menu items, and talk about their brief attempt to open cafes with an Upscale Greggs Experience. Plus, Subway's seasonal hot cross bun and Libby's Game, which this week is called Try That In A Small Town. Did she come up with the name first and work backwards? She'll never tell...
