Hey, it's J Lee, food critic at large for Emily Sundberg’s Feed Me. I write about $300 martinis, New York City's secret chicken tenders, my favorite dim sum spots, and how I’ll never wait in line for froyo. I’ve got one million opinions about food, but the thing is, everyone has their own opinions about food and I want to hear all of them. Every week on Expense Account we’ll have a guest, it could... more

I've worked in food for more than 20 years, and Expense Account is one of the most refreshing ways I've heard anyone talk about it. J Lee is absolutely delightful: curious, funny and easy to listen to. I always have a smile on my face when I’m listening to it. I can't devour episodes fast enough. Hats off to J and to Emily for finding this gem of a human. And can we all please be friends?
I love Jason’s food writing and I love this podcast. It’s a genuinely good thing.
How many times does the host say “like” per minute? Is there any research or consideration on how to take a conversation? Maybe not going on tangents about your local bodega for 5 minutes? Host repeats once again: yeah, yeah, yeah, like, yeah.

This host is so bad he has turned this podcast into a comedy
