Beef Medium 13: The Simpsons' Bill Oakley

Bill Oakley (@thatbilloakley) is a creative legend — from writing during The Simpsons' golden era to becoming one of the internet’s most beloved voices in food culture.

You might know him as the co-creator of Mission Hill, a writer for Futurama and Portlandia, or as the mind behind the now-iconic Steamed Hams sketch. But in recent years, Bill has also carved out a second act as a fast food critic and culinary curator, launching the Steamed Hams Society and touring the country with his Culinary Curiosity Dinners.

In this episode, Bill shares the story behind the sketch that became an international meme, reflects on his earliest fast food obsessions, and breaks down what it takes to make it in entertainment today—all while exploring the intersection of food, fandom, and internet culture.

Pull up a seat with quasi-food journalist @snachwithzach and his editor-extraordinaire brother Matt as they dish out real talk with creators, characters, and tastemakers from all corners of the food world.
This is Beef Medium—where the takes are hot and the vibes are perfectly cooked. 🍔🎙️
