  • Great Survivor Recap Pod

    Like the Survivor content but don’t like spoilers in the titles. Please be sensitive to us who can’t keep up with eps in real time. Also the shade she gives is fun.

  • Mediocrity at its best

    I’ve been on the fence about this podcast for a while. The lack of follow up questions. It’s not hard to read a list. Let’s have a conversation. This episode about visiting survivor 50 l, I had to turn it off. A bunch of whinnying and complaining about packing? Like what a missed opportunity to lead the listener into an experience they can’t have.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

306: Top Chef 23 Exit Interview: Anthony Jones Disagrees With Judges' Elimination Critique
Q: Would you do Top Chef again if asked back?
Absolutely. It would be more intense the second time, but I'm very competitive and I thrive under pressure and a bit of chaos, so I'd definitely jump at another opportunity to push myself further.
306: Top Chef 23 Exit Interview: Anthony Jones Disagrees With Judges' Elimination Critique
Q: What did you think about the natural dyes challenge and the feedback about color versus flavor?
Natural dyes fade with heat and acid, so maintaining color while preserving flavor is very tough; I wanted the color to also deliver flavor, and I felt the color-only feedback didn't fully reflect the broader culinary goals in that challenge.
304: Top Chef 23 Exit Interview: Brandon Deaden on Restaurant Wars & Fighting With His Brother
Q: Would you do Top Chef again or have another run in you?
Brandon expresses strong interest in returning, noting the exposure and the personal drive to compete alongside his brother, while acknowledging the logistical and personal challenges of the format.
304: Top Chef 23 Exit Interview: Brandon Deaden on Restaurant Wars & Fighting With His Brother
Q: Did you and your brother discuss strategy going into the competition?
He recalls going in relatively raw, focusing on supporting each other rather than executing a pre-planned competition strategy, and emphasizes their twin partnership and the dynamic of playing to each other's strengths rather than trying to outplay one another.
304: Top Chef 23 Exit Interview: Brandon Deaden on Restaurant Wars & Fighting With His Brother
Q: Going out in Restaurant Wars, was it harder or easier?
Brandon explains that the evaluation is dish-focused, shares that he spent time helping others and managing the broader service, and acknowledges the challenge of balancing personal performance with team dynamics. He notes the real stakes include timing, plating, and the ability to deliver a cohesive dining experience under extreme time pressure.
