The second entry in the mini-series documenting Chris’s quirky parents. This episode focuses on food. Once again Dr. Tanner takes on the role of half anthropologist, half psychologist, and all schadenfredue-ist as he digs deep through Chris’s memories and first-hand observations of two of the whitest and most mundanely interesting people to have ever lived. We learn that Red Lobster biscuits are too spicy, water requires wedges of lemons in a “good-sized bowl,” you can eat salad without dressing and pizza without sauce, you’ve gotta call and place your Panera bread order, and that humans only need three different types of casseroles to survive.

As far as Tanner is concerned, there are few people as entertaining, perplexing, and fascinating as Chris’s parents – two of the most stubborn, habitual, bonded, and isolated people in the country. They’re like a time capsule of conservative, midwestern, white baby boomer culture. So what’s the next best thing to talking to them? Asking Chris to tell him every little detail of their lives and his experiences growing up with them.

This is the first episode in a new mini-series – cleverly titled “Chris’s Parents” – where Dr. Tanner embarks on his groundbreaking ethnography with Chris serving as embedded reporter. Each episode will be themed and this episode’s theme is ritual. And get ready – there’s a few big revelations about Chris’s life that are equally shocking, saddening, and hilarious.
