This podcast is down-to-earth and meaningful. I really value and enjoy the broad range of topics it covers. The personal interviews that take time to get to know people and discuss their experiences with food and food-adjacent topics are a real highlight. Dan talks with experts (and non-experts) in a non-pretentious and relatable way.
Wonderful podcast

Dan has the best laugh - and the stories he tell every week offer such great perspectives on eating. The episode where he eats hotdogs with his parents is such a delight. But the more serious ones about food and race are well made and thought provoking. This is one of my favorite podcasts!
