  • Not Controversial

    I love this podcast because it is not controversial and one can listen to it without getting anxious. I always learn a lot when I listen to it. Christopher Kimball has fascinating guests and content that you really can’t get anywhere else, such as interviews with famous restaurants, tours, and chefs. I also love the segment where listeners call in and Christopher and his guests solve their problems. I would be very sad if this podcast did not exist.

He just has such an outdated, boomer attitude towards food, cooking, culture, and good taste. He needs to reti... more
