  • The Vault episodes

    I love the show but I really dislike when you do the vault episodes. Especially since there have been two episodes about tomatoes in the last 3 weeks!

    I'd you can't put out an episode every week, fine. But stop reposting old content. It's a sure fire way to get me to unsubscribe.

  • More producers

    Really enjoy the pod, but feel like it would much more authentic and enjoyable if there were actual producers instead of distributors on the show for interviews. Get more farmers and ranchers. The people putting in the blood, sweat and tears, not a “3rd generation lamb distributor”

    Just feelings like they are worrying about all the wrong things.

111. Persimmons: Chef Jeremy Fox and Sean Mindrum of Comanche Creek Farms | Holiday Miniseries
Q: What is the thing that they make, the timpano?
It's kind of like everything. It's pasta, it's meatballs, eggs, cheese. It was kind of just like everything packed into this pot and baked.
