  • Our family’s favorite pod!

    Our family of four watches Top Chef every week and now has taken to listening to We Know Top Chef during the week since Season 22. Love that the language is reasonable and we learn a lot about the behind the scenes. Love how much Chef Jim Smith added to Season 23 and appreciate women’s voices such as Haley on podcasts, especially about kitchens. Curt adds a lot as well. It’s been a treat and we love the long form. Highly recommended.

  • What’s with the noise??

    I really do enjoy the show but multiple hosts have issues with background noise. It sounds like a chair creaking or some other hinge. This is supposed to be a professional network and I can see that you’ve gotten this feedback for years….

  • Fix the background noise!

    Love Top Chef and y’all but you have GOT to do something about the squeaking chairs/ reverberating mics/ desk adjustments mid podcast. They are so loud and really distracting. Also, I think we’re all well aware by now of Haley’s various aversions to certain textures/sticky things/ cleanliness. We get it. Pleeeaaasee stopping bringing it up in some form or fashion every podcast.

  • Stop Chef Jim from talking so much

    I really enjoy the three hosts but please filter Chef Jim. He starts talking and never shuts up. He’s that irritating person you can’t really have a conversation with because you can’t get a word in!! Please do a better edit with him.

    Otherwise, I love listening.
