- Hong Kong episode
Enjoyed this episode so much. So hard to pick favourites in Hong Kong - loved the fish ball soup at Tsim Chai Kee on Wellington, and the roast goose at Yung Kee (Wellington as well). Had a great birthday dinner at Happy Paradise - loved the mochi apple pie with coconut cream and charcoal ash, washed down with a five spice G&T.

Germany7 years ago - This is how fun this show is:
Just finished listening to the Peanut Butter episode. Here’s how much I like this show: I’m deathly allergic to peanuts and STILL listened to this! Alex and Will have great chemistry and their content is a great mix of banter, food history and discussions you can use to discover something new for your palate. Just not peanuts for me, I’m afraid. I’m a Layovers listener and still love the “L” episode most. Keep cooking guys!
Apple Podcasts5GretchenAmSpinnradUnited States7 years ago - Great food Pod
I love this pod, i came in at episode L and have worked my way back to A.
It is really cool to hear how Will and Alex see there food and how some things differ around the world and how things really don't. They have a great rapport, almost as if they were brothers (haha). They also know there food and Will's background research is fantastic.
Final the thing i really love is the fact that it feels like they are really interacting with the audiance by taking note of what people are say to them ... more

United Kingdom8 years ago - Don’t listen to on an empty stomach
Just binged listened 3 episodes and I’m hooked! Heard about it from listening to layovers podcast and I’m glad I did!
Apple Podcasts5Tmoore4000United States8 years ago - Interesting
Just started listening and so far a pretty good podcast. BUT I'm on the eggplant episode and had to stop to correct the following misinformation: no fruits, eggplant or otherwise, are ever "male or female". Every botanical fruit is the product of a plant's ripened ovary (and therefore technically "female"). There are no "male" fruits. I see this myth perpetuated with bell peppers as well. The number of seeds in a fruit can vary widely due to a number of factors including ecological conditions an... more

Apple Podcasts5CateHunterUnited States8 years ago - Great series, as with Layovers and Attaché. But Episode 4 (Dim Sum)...
Great content as always with Alex. And along with Will, who manages to add flair and attention to details, make this the best food and food culture podcast out there. I have listened to every Layovers and Mastication nation episodes; super fan girl! Keep going please!
However, listening to Episode four about dim sum raised a few eyebrows for my Hong Kong self.
Firstly, dim sum is a Cantonese food concept. Originally, like wonton noodles, they were only made popular and widespread as a favouri... more
