  • Love this podcast

    As a food geek, former New Yorker and new (but also former) Chicago resident, I love this show! There’s something for everyone who is curious about food. The martini episode is a great example of how they go deep into nuances of certain dining trends for nerds like us. Also loved the private dining club episode, and the Chicago ep (duh!). Keep ‘em coming!
