Customer Reviews
There must be more to review Hugh ? 🙏🏼
Finally, a decent review podcast. Picked up so many cooking / sourcing tips & enjoyed being transported to some amazing restaurants. The tips are a nice touch too. Upbeat & positive, much needed in these dark times. Please resume asap Hugh, if it’s possible, I’ve consumed every episode like a tramp at a kipper.
A very enjoyable listen.
How nice it is to have an ego free 15 minutes dedicated to enjoying oneself. I particularly enjoy how Hugh has little time for the kind of nonsense that can make dining out feel exclusive or ‘not for the likes of me.’
Humorous and insightful
Slivers of podcasting heaven. Funny, interesting and warm looks at the world of food, eating and taste in 15-minute morsels. Long may they last.
