- RIP to Air Jordan
RIP to a solid podcast that was doing an “ok” job of surveying restaurants in LA while simultaneous engaging mostly with a community of personal friends and personal relationships within the industry. Now they want to charge people for a video podcast where they can’t even get high quality cameras or sit in front each other for a higher quality video product. I wish them well in their further pursuit of reviewing trendy openings where most people can’t get in and leaving unexplored smaller busin... more

The day when Jordan ceases to say “and remember, the episode is coming soon” will be a very sad day. What a duo. Team Max for telling it like it is, and team Jordan for bringing life to the pod.

Apple Podcasts5Always DessertUnited States8 months ago - Annie & Hallie not fun
I’ve never turned your podcast off but after listening to Annie & Hallie’s opinions on what’s tasteful I tuned out. No dogs, no apps, no baked cheeses, no fun. Not sure why their held in high esteem, because of their parents???
Apple Podcasts1switchtwo2United States8 months ago - Uppity Okun
General episodes are good and funny but if there’s an interview, be careful. It’s usually with uppity people without any exposure to culture beyond the yts. Interview episodes with non chefs such as restaurant group execs, for as long as I can remember, are boring and full of talking down to certain groups of people. Interviews with chefs don’t have any humor. It’s straight business talk.
