  • Great podcast

    I’m working my way through every episode from the beginning. Really entertaining and informative. Matt and Jaime are very enjoyable to listen to as well as very knowledgeable. Also a great variety of guests with so many interesting experiences and insights. Well worth listening to even if you’re not a culinary insider.
