  • 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!
