The Pirate Ship Podcast with Tom Kerridge and Chris Stark Tom Kerridge and Chris Stark

FOOD CRITICS
If you’re a chef, should you really argue back with an unhappy customer on Tripadvisor? Tom chats with Chris about food reviews - where they’re helpful for a restaurant and times when they’ve been unfair. Chris decides that Tom needs a new gimmick to attract more attention online much like how Salt Bae rolls salt down his arm. Do you have a gimmick that Tom should try? Let us know pirateship@tomkerridge.com and you could get dinner on Tom!
