  • Please no spoilers in the show titles!!!

    I enjoy the show, but I was really disappointed to see the holiday tournament of champions winners written in a show title. The show had only been out for a couple of days and I hadn’t had a chance to watch it yet. I understand a spoiler in the podcast episode, but does it really need to be in a title where you can’t avoid it if you haven’t watched yet? This was really disappointing.

  • Love Bryan

    I have been a fan of Bryan Voltaggio since his 1st Top Chef. This was a great interview to learn more about Bryan both personally and professionally. I hope you can take Jennifer on that trip some day.

  • Fun

    I love the fact that this is just a light, fun conversation between two interesting people. It provides a great escape from the highly charged and partisan podcasts I traditionally listen to. I always seem to learn something interesting.

  • Love the podcast, don’t like the inconsistency

    I look forward to this great podcast every Friday! It’s a definite highlight and I’ve enjoyed every one! But I feel there’s inconsistency with new episodes each Friday. Often, weeks are missed without new episodes for no known reason. That’s why the 3 rating. Love the pod though!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gabe Bertaccini on Chopped Castaways and What Makes Great Food TV
Q: What do you hope viewers take away from your Florence food day guide?
A sense of place and shared experience—enjoying simple, well-made dishes in authentic spots, while seeing how food, memory, and neighborhood shape everyday life in Florence.
Gabe Bertaccini on Chopped Castaways and What Makes Great Food TV
Q: What are you most excited about with Cook Like an Italian?
It's about cooking with patience, heart, and purpose, focusing on the story behind the dish and sharing Italian culture, vibes, and hospitality with viewers in a relaxed, approachable way.
Gabe Bertaccini on Chopped Castaways and What Makes Great Food TV
Q: How would you describe Chopped Castaways compared to regular Chopped?
Regular Chopped is already challenging, but Castaways removes kitchen comforts and imposes harsh elements like wind and rain, pushing chefs to improvise with limited ingredients and fire, which makes the competition feel more primal and demanding.
Cassie Yeung on Joining the Food Network Hot List with “No Measurements, Just Vibes”
Q: Where do you find your recipe inspiration, especially for bold ideas like the dumpling lasagna?
Inspiration comes from what I'm craving and from memories of family meals; I experiment, but I'm quick to credit social media for sparking ideas that blend classics with new twists.
Cassie Yeung on Joining the Food Network Hot List with “No Measurements, Just Vibes”
Q: Be honest, did you freak out a little bit or did you play it cool when you were named on the Food Network Hot List for 2026?
I definitely freaked out, but I took it as a complete honor and motivation to keep sharing authentic, cooking-with-feel content that resonates with people who cook at home.
