The Umami Mami ,

This is the podcast I’ve been waiting for.

Real, raw and delivers.
Just like us chefs do. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m in the process of a rebrand of my business and I need all the help I can get. Asheville, NC area. Consultation available?

Can’t wait for Tuesday!

I feel like I’m in the room talking to a friend. Authentic and real and I love it!

Binger & Mash ,

Love the real ness of his ranting

Chef Todd is funny, real, & raw and I love the not-perfectly-polished podcasts we’re used to. I’m soo grateful for a useful podcast on the problems and workings of the behind-the-scene peeps that keep the catering world running! Looking forward to the story of the truck catching fire... 😱
