Brain Food[]

Tailgate Brain Poppers

  • Liv chops the brain into nugget-like pieces, she pours several glugs of canola oil into a fryer. In a medium sized bowl, she mixes flour and chili pepper. She coats the pieces in the mixture and deep fries the batch. She then pours different hot sauces on the fried pieces, she mixes them around in the bowl to get them evenly covered and toasts them in a toaster oven — all to the sound of the "Monday Night Football Theme."

Comic Panel Titles[]

  • BRAIN TEASER
    • Opening the episode, there is a montage of brains and workers at a brain manufacturing facility. This seems to relate to how the brain paste tubes are made: Brains with stamps going from the loading belt to the giant mixing vat to being squeezed into white tubes.
  • GNARLY IN THE BRAIN PASTE FACTORY
    • In the brain manufacturing facility, during the opening murder investigation, refers to Mr. Perales saying "I work in a brain processing plant, and this was the gnarliest thing I've ever seen."
  • A TEEN-Y CONCERN
  • DOCTOR WHAT?!
  • JOHN RULES BOOTH
  • CEMETERY TO TABLE

Trivia[]

  • Romero's (named after George Romero) is actually the Shady Plots funeral home redressed as a restaurant.
  • It's revealed Ravi's proto-vaccine has left him a "demi-zombie"; he zombifies once a month for a few days, then becomes normal again. This makes him the only zombie to regain complexion and sense of taste.
  • Shortly after the previous episode, the United States walled off Seattle to keep the Zombies from infecting the rest of America.

Title Meaning[]

  • Out of Universe, the title is getting fans of the series pumped up for the fourth season of iZombie.
