    Top Chef S23E12 Recap: "Appalachian Celebration" & Hawaiian Kidnappings | Ep 252

    Jamal is still MIA after being taken hostage by Sheldon in Hawaii, leaving Bryan to navigate an adult hockey hit before we finally get to the kitchen. This week on Pod Chef, the double trouble continues as Jamal remains stranded during his Hawaiian cruise—presumably still held captive by Sheldon. While we wait for his safe return, Bryan takes the mic to share a brutal reality check of what happens when real hockey meets adult league hockey. After the ice clears, we dive into Bravo's Top Chef Season 23, Episode 12 ("Appalachian Celebration") to recap the regional cooking challenges and predict who is packing their knives. ⏱️ EPISODE MENU (Timestamps) 00:00 - Intro & Sheldon took Jamal Hostage 09:30 - Bryans Hockey Hit 25:14 - Chef’s I Prepared For You 40:58 - Top Chef S23E12 recap starts: "Appalachian Celebration" breakdown 👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇 If you laughed, hit that Subscribe button so you never miss a weekly drop. ⭐ Rate us 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and let us know what you had for dinner last night in the review!

    Top Chef S23E11 Recap: "Down the Rabbit Hole" & The Hawaiian SPAM Man | Ep 251

    Bryan and Reaves are holding down the pod while Jamal is MIA on a Hawaiian cruise hunting for the legendary SPAM Man. This week on Pod Chef, the double trouble continues as Jamal is still off the grid. While we wait for his return, Bryan shows off his new ice cream maker and Reaves talks pizza—a bold move stepping onto Jamal's Detroit-style dough turf while he's out of town. We take a quick detour into ripped aliens before finally getting down to business to break down Bravo's Top Chef Season 23, Episode 11 ("Down the Rabbit Hole"). We are judging the chaotic menus and predicting who is getting sent packing. ⏱️ EPISODE MENU (Timestamps) 00:00 - Jamal is in Hawaii 08:57 - Bryan’s making ice cream & Reaves' pizza adventures 29:42 - Chef’s I’ve Prepared For You 46:33 - Top Chef S23E11 Recap starts: "Down the Rabbit Hole" breakdown 👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇 If you laughed, hit that Subscribe button so you never miss a Monday drop. ⭐ Rate us 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and let us know what you had for dinner last night in the review!

    Top Chef S23E10 Recap: "Hook, Line, and Dinner" & Hot Dog Injuries w/ Alex Kazanas | Ep 250

    Alex Kazanas steps in to help us celebrate our 250th episode while Reaves tries to podcast through a lisp caused by a competitive hot dog eating injury. It goes exactly as poorly as you'd expect. This week on Pod Chef, Bryan, Jamal, and a very lispy Reaves are breaking down the newest episode of Bravo's Top Chef. Before we get to the kitchen, we take a massive detour to review Tom Colicchio's obscure 13-year-old fishing show, "Hooked Up." Then we dive deep into the seafood challenges of Top Chef Season 23, Episode 10 ("Hook, Line, and Dinner") and rank our favorites to pack their knives. ⏱️ EPISODE MENU (Timestamps) 00:00 - Intro guest Alex Kazanas & Reaves’s injury 24:04 - Tom Colicchio’s “Hooked Up” Series 35:29 - Chef’s I’ve Prepared For You 54:39 - Top Chef S23E10 Recap 👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇 If you laughed, hit that Subscribe button so you never miss a Monday drop. ⭐ Rate us 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and let us know what you had for dinner last night in the review!

    Top Chef S23E09 Recap: "The Ultimate Dinner Party" & First Class Dining | Ep 249

    Bryan creates a toxic workplace by ranking his co-hosts on a scale of "loveability," and Jamal flexes on everyone with a bougie first-class airplane food review. This week on Pod Chef, the vibe is instantly ruined when Bryan breaks out his controversial loveability rankings for the trio. After the dust settles, Jamal shares a high-altitude culinary adventure from his recent international travels, proving that his restaurant reviewing habits have officially reached first class. Finally, the guys get down to business to break down Bravo's Top Chef Season 23, Episode 9 ("The Ultimate Dinner Party"). We're judging the chaotic menus, breaking down the front-of-house disasters, and talking some serious trash. ⏱️ EPISODE MENU 00:00 - Intro 03:07 - Bryan ranks the hosts (and ruins the vibe) 13:05 - We got a new review! 15:00 - Chef’s I’ve Prepared For You 47:12 - Top Chef S23E09 Recap starts: "The Ultimate Dinner Party" breakdown 👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇 If you laughed, hit that Subscribe button so you never miss a Monday drop! ⭐ Rate us 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and let us know what you had for dinner last night in the review!

    It's the biggest week of the Bravo calendar: Restaurant Wars! Reaves is actually here for the entire episode, Bryan is still salty about last week's voicemail, and we take full credit for launching our guest's literary career. This week on Pod Chef, the gang is fully assembled and joined by Rosie Grant, author of To Die For: A Cookbook of Gravestone Recipes. After Bryan airs his grievances about Jamal ignoring his airport voicemail, the crew buckles in for the ultimate culinary gauntlet.

    Top Chef S23E07 Recap: "Desserts Fit for a Queen" w/ Kate Symes | Ep 247

    Jamal is flying solo this week... well, almost. Improviser and travel aficionado Kate Symes steps in to save the pod, while Bryan calls in from an airport lounge after a wild run-in with past guest Reverend Hun Gary. This week on Pod Chef, Jamal and special guest Kate Symes are holding down the fort to break down Bravo's Top Chef Season 23, Episode 7 ("Desserts Fit for a Queen"). Before we get to the kitchen, we're talking improv, swapping travel stories, and decoding Bryan's unhinged airport voicemail. Then, we dive deep into the ultimate Bravo curse: a dessert challenge. We're dissecting the sugar crashes and predicting who is getting sent packing. ⏱️ EPISODE MENU 00:00 - Intro & Guest Kate Symes (Travel & Improv talk) 15:40 - Bryan’s voicemail from the airport (feat.

    John Carroll (@ohjohncarroll) drops by the studio to formally audition for Bryan’s job.  Bryan is absolutely furious about it. This week on Pod Chef, the tension is high as special guest John Carroll spends the entire episode correcting Bryan and proving why he should be the new permanent third mic. After the hostile takeover attempt (and a highly specific Wells Fargo plug), Jamal, Reaves, Bryan, and John finally get down to business. We are breaking down Bravo's Top Chef Season 23, Episode 6 ("Going Whole Hog"), dissecting the pork challenges, and predicting who is getting smoked. ⏱️ EPISODE MENU 00:00 - Intro & John Carroll auditions for Bryan's job 10:26 - John Carroll's Wells Fargo Plug 19:49 - Chef’s I’ve Prepared For You 46:18 - Top Chef S23E06 Recap starts: "Going Whole Hog" breakdown 👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇 If you laughed (or if you are Team John), hit that Subscribe button so you never miss a Monday drop! ⭐ Rate us 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and let us know what you had for dinner last night in the review!
