March 24, 2026·1 hr 1 min·4 clips

Hoagies and Hops is tied to National Cheesesteak Day, a 15% donation to the MLK Center, and a Joey Chestnut appearance.

1. Query & Schultz Podcast 279 centers on a live broadcast from Hoagies and Hops in Chilliwater at 42nd and Boulevard. 2. Derek Schultz is mentioned as being on vacation and working for Purdue, while Greg Raikstra fills in as the on-air host. 3. The episode’s hook is the combination of National Cheesesteak Day, a local charity tie-in, and a Philadelphia food competition with Joey Chestnut present. 4. The hosts say 15% of all proceeds from the day go to the MLK Center. 5. They describe Hoagies and Hops as the place for what they call the “very best” Philly cheesesteak. 6. The show references a Philly cheesesteak eating competition held the previous Saturday at the restaurant. 7. Joey Chestnut is said to have attended that competition. 8. The hosts explain that the challenge was not a huge-volume eating contest but a timed test of how quickly someone could eat a full Philly cheesesteak. 9. Korn is identified as the competitor who usually dominates Christina’s Hoagies and Hops contests. 10. The hosts joke about Korn’s name by comparing it with the band Korn. 11. A surprising detail is that Joey Chestnut reportedly lost the competition at Hoagies and Hops. 12. The hosts frame that result as notable because Chestnut is the headline name in the food-challenge conversation. 13. They emphasize the scale of the contest by saying it involved a small timed amount rather than the larger quantities Chestnut is known for. 14. The restaurant setting is treated as part of the show itself, with the hosts repeatedly anchoring the conversation to the live location. 15. The energy is conversational and playful, with jokes about Dublin on St. Patrick’s Day and the neighborhood atmosphere. 16. The style mixes local-radio banter, food talk, and sports-adjacent competition commentary. 17. Listeners hear a fast-moving, informal exchange that leans on shared local knowledge and restaurant promotion. 18. The pacing stays loose and talkative rather than structured like a formal interview. 19. People interested in Indianapolis food spots and local competition stories would likely enjoy this. 20. Listeners wanting political analysis or a tightly focused interview would probably skip it.
