  • Great hosts. Great guests

    Found this podcast during the most recent season in Wisconsin and have really been enjoying since. The hosts have a fun energy, and they get some pretty great Top Chef guests on as well (Brooke Williamson being a recent highlight, but a favorite being Gail and Kristen’s stylist). All in all, good stuff with interesting critiques on food and strategy - enjoying the S10 rewatch right now and excited to tune in for S22
