On Let’s Get Real Chef Erica Wides walks you down the aisles of the surreal world of food, serving up a heaping dose of reality by separating the food from the foodiness so you can forage, hunt, gather, trap and fish for real food anywhere, even in a foodiness-filled mega market. Incisive, pragmatic, sarcastic, and an unrepentant know-it-all when it comes to anything food, on Let’s Get Real Chef E... more

There’s nothing left to say. I’ve read every editorial, every FaceBook post, every HuffPo screaming front page rant. I’m done. I’m done with the election, and I’m done even discussing it, or him. He who shall not be named. I had been calling him the ... more
We're all really, really scared these days. Scared for the future, scared for the planet (well, some of us), scared of scary scaring clowns scaring kids, scared of scary clowns pretending to be legit candidates...OMG, so much scariness! And it's not ... more

Here’s what’s so great about “Let’s Get Real” - every episode is a reminder that just because a packaged food says “healthy” and “nutritious” on its packaging, it ain’t necessarily so. Erica won’t let us forget that marketing is big business for the food industry. I love listening to her fact-based, passionate diatribes. She’s interesting and informative but also hilarious. The stories about her growing-up years are pure gold. This podcast has made me a smarter consumer and a healthier person. C... more
Let’s Get Real is the second best show on the Heritage Radio Network (sorry Erica, but Cooking Issues will always be my first love). Erica Wides' podcast cuts to the core of all the problems with modern food. She does indeed have opinions, but boy are they worth listening to. She manages to be funny, interesting, knowledgable and opinionated all at the same time. It's like listening to a food-oriented version of Woody Allen, but back in the days when he was still good - say, Annie Hall kind of e... more
This show cracks me up every week—It’s like a food-themed comedy hour that confirms all my suspicions about big food—watch your back people—birthday cake flavored vodka is a sign!!
Too bad, I wanted to like this. Too much ranting about 'the wrong sort' of food (and people?) and little to no useful information in recent episodes. If you are going to rail against bad food, and I am all for that,please balance with something positive to say.
Saw Erica’s visiting over at Gardenfork.TV making gravy with Eric. FINALLY I understand both the principles and the practice of making a gravy. Funny, irreverent, fast-paced. Erica’s a great companion on commutes. Love her show.
