John ‘Jughead’ Pierson is probably best known as a founding member and driving force of Screeching Weasel up through the beginning of the 21st century. These days, he’s well into the triple digits of his long-running podcast, Jughead’s Basement.

They’ve been serving “Royally Delicious” food since 1972, and I can’t say for certain, but I may have found one of their royal hairs in my sandwich.
