United States5 months ago - today was my first disappointment

Apple Podcasts5LeeLee LaureeUnited States9 months ago - One of the best
I don’t actually recall how I found out about this podcast but it has become a mainstay in my lineup.
Apple Podcasts5pmcmartUnited Statesa year ago - Lovely podcast but
Generally love this podcast, it’s a great look at what part of the country I’m not familiar with, however I did have to point out a correction.
The most recent episode title is “Wherefore art thou, Romeo? At JACK’s!”
Wherefore is why, not where. In the speech that this line is taken from, Juliet is lamenting the fact that Romeo is a Montague and thus her sworn enemy, she is not questioning his precise geographical location.
‘Why are you, Romeo? At Jack’s!’ makes absolutely no sense.
Apple Podcasts4BaronipandnuUnited Statesa year ago - Somewhat informative
Good episodes highlighting restaurants and cuisines listeners may not be aware of or have experienced.
The part that gets me is in the soul food restaurant in LA episode they describe this poor restaurant is lost in a sea of whiteness. “Chatsworth is bastion of whiteness” described by a reporter who is also white.
Leave the politics out of the food. We’re all Americans.
