    Ben Clark

    Ben Clark

    Much to Tom's satisfaction, our latest guest gets down and dirty with some fried chicken, as comedian Ben Clark orders a 'three piece' and fries from the wonderfully named Favourable Chicken. Ben is one third of the award winning sketch group, Pappy's, who also have a range of podcasts under the banner of Pappy's Flatshare. Ben was great company, reflecting upon his time as a McDonald's employee, being sacked from a pizza parlour for mistaking mixed herbs for garlic and ordering sushi in Hastings which turned up in London. Classic!

    We're going Ethiopian on our latest episode, as comedian Carl Donnelly orders a selection of curries from Elsa's Vegan Kitchen in Tooting. To much skepticism from Cim and Carl, Tom claims that this particular cuisine is his favourite. They also discuss a tasty snack which involves butterflying dates, the perfect method when it comes to peanut butter on toast, and a fellow who ate nothing but potatoes for a year!

Love this, but was better in person

Great show. Nice light-hearted feel, despite a real passion for the intricacies of takeaways!

Not such a fan of all the newer episodes all being over Zoom, was much better when they joined the guest in their home and ate together.

Fantastic and relatable

Discovered this after looking for similar podcasts to off menu and I’m loving it. Working my way through the 2022 episodes still as don’t want to miss anything! Who knew there could be so many funny takeaway anecdotes.

Love it!

A really funny gentle podcast that really gives you that nosey insight into people’s ‘at home habits’.
Really good fun!
