I’ve been listening since this podcast debuted. It helps me keep up with the people who create the Portland food scene, the voices and lives behind the food.
Apple Podcasts5CouveScoopUnited States3 years ago - Best food podcast
This is my new go-to source for restaurant recommendations and Portland food news. Chris and Cort do a great job!!
Apple Podcasts5Steph from GreshamUnited States8 years ago - Great interviews - but Gary....
I’ve listened to this diligently for the last few years. The insight you get from area Chef’s is really interesting and fun to listen to. I get that Gary is a big part of the Podcast, but it gets really old hearing about how boring (insert a plethora of other adjectives Gary uses) Portland’s food scene is. And how great SF’s is. That shtick gets really old. I don’t listen to the podcast to hear that and I don’t think it benefits the podcast or listener.
