  • SO St. Louis

    This podcast provides such great insight into STL food from a combination of an everyday consumer and “foodie”. All this insight AND they’re funny?! Highly recommend!

  • I enjoyed it so much, I became a guest!

    At first, I was like, “Can I objectively review a podcast if I have already been a guest?” But then I thought about it, and realized that the fact that I went on it was already an endorsement. After all, why would I try to become a guest on a show I didn’t like? I don’t have that kind of time or energy.

    Anyway, I love the banter that Nick, Travis, and Francie have. And as a relatively recent transplant to St. Louis, I credit this show with giving me helpful insights on enjoyable restaurants as ... more

  • Amusing and (somewhat) informative STL restaurant podcast

    I actually agree with a recent reviewer who said they laugh and correct at the same time. I’ve heard more mispronounced words (‘nduja, prosciutto, etc) in this podcast than most but I actually think it’s part of the charm. If you’re expecting in depth analysis of food perhaps there is another podcast for you. If you’re expecting the opinions of people who like food and can tell you if they enjoyed something while making you laugh, then this is a podcast for you.

  • Enjoyable, yet frustrating

    I love to hate this podcast. The hosts have an easy banter that is enjoyable - kind of like eaves dropping on the conversation of two dudes that enjoy food, but don’t know much about it. They don’t seem to have much experience with flavors and ingredients outside of traditional, casual American fare. I find myself frustrated that they don’t know simple ingredients or they don’t bother to ask the restaurant for more detailed information so they can give better informed reviews. Somewhat a disserv... more

    I had no idea this existed until I saw it mentioned in the Go! Section of the Post-Dispatch. I love all things STL and especially enjoying hearing about all the delicious places to eat in St. Louis.

  • Entertaining!

    I confess that I am Nick’s mom. I live in Arizona and rarely get to St. Louis. Maybe he’ll take me to some of his favorite restaurants when I visit next time. By the way, he’s a pretty good cook! He didn’t get that from me or his dad!

    Full disclosure, I created it. But I can objectively say that if you’re looking for a St. Louis-based food podcast with me in it, it’s in the top three.

  • Goofy dudes

    Two goofy dudes who do not always agree about what makes for the ideal eating experience. A delight to listen to.

  • I’ve seen the future of St. Louis dining reviews and it is Eat Me in St. Louis.

    A fantastic representation of the diverse eating experiences available throughout the metropolitan area. If this show were any more “St. Louis,” it would ask you where you went to high school.

  • PUB Theory

    PUB theory-those for whom Americans are most likely to have a beer with will get elected. Well, if that theory applies to food reviewer podcast hosts, Nick and Travis are deemed for success in the Podcast world. Their friendly banter coupled with their enthusiasm for food without being pretentious food snobs is refreshing for those of us in the first standard deviation of food appreciation.

    I look forward to future episodes. One small suggestion would be to provide a hint at price range of your ... more

    Only one reviewer is visiting each restaurant multiple times and keeping his biases in check.

  • A ranch-drenched review

    For me, one measure of success for any food review podcast is whether or not I want to go experience the food for myself after listening. And after listening to episode 1, I'm keen on trying out the "ranch flight" myself.

    Nick and Travis are great hosts. Not a hint of cynicism in this podcast which is pretty refreshing. They're friendly and affable and I enjoyed their conversation.

    Looking forward to more.
