  • Sadly lost its luster

    The show has lost its heart and soul after the death of Thierry. Tom really needed an equal to offset his ego and world view. By replacing Thierry with his daughter and his employee, he’s brought down the quality of the show (not to mention that he’s an HR nightmare, but because his daughter is now the boss, that all gets passed off with a giggle). Everything has to pass muster with Tom so he may as well host the show alone. It’s sad. I miss Thierry’s energy, humor, wisdom, and perspective.

  • Graceful Transition

    I appreciate the soft, easy transition of this podcast from Tom and Thierry to Tom, Loretta and Bridgette after the amazing French chef has passed on. I still listen and learn and although all know no one replaces Thierry, it’s still a show I enjoy listening to each week. I used to listen in my car back in the day in Seattle. Loretta mentioned she was surprised about a comment in Chef Thierry’s recipe last week regarding saving some pan drippings or other but that’s exactly what I remember Th... more
