  • Binge this!

    Love the guests (even ones I’d never known before), the topics, the life lessons not just kitchen lessons. I’ve always watched Top Chef but this is a great way to see another side of the cooking world. I appreciate that they let the guests talk. Adrienne’s voice is so great ~she could do audiobooks as a next career!

  • Love the pod, but who writes your episode titles?

    Always enjoy their banter and knowledge. Just a small pet peeve, why do you add two exclamation marks to every episode title?

  • Great listen

    I loved Joe and Adrienne on Top Chef and was thrilled to find their podcast. I’m just a home cook and occasionally the talk goes a bit over my head, but they’re fun to hear and I love their rapport.

    I went to Chicago for the first time this year and couldn’t get a reservation to Rose Mary but maybe next time!
