A donor's note triggers a nostalgic look at the Kilpatrick Bread Bakery in San Francisco during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The bakery was famous for its "air-bread" and for producing McDonald's buns with specific score marks to make them look risen. The memory serves as a contrast to the current state of the Bay Area, which the donor describes as a "crap hole" compared to its former character.

Dvorak describes the history of "balloon bread" and the Kilpatrick's factory in Oakland, which produced McDonald's buns using templates to fake a folded look. The segment references the 2016 film *The Founder* and criticizes the modern use of soggy seed oils in fast food fries.
