    Ep 23: Charcoal, Hangovers & Dinner Parties: Kick Off Grilling Season the OverSeasoned Way

    Winter’s fading, grills are coming out of hibernation, and we are officially back in our element. In this episode of the OverSeasoned Podcast, we bounce from snowstorm war stories and restaurant hangover survival tactics to the real topic at hand: gearing up for grilling season. What starts as a conversation about charcoal vs. gas quickly turns into a deep dive on fire-starting techniques, wood choices, dream grill setups, and why nothing beats the flavor of a properly charred burger over live fire. We also unpack the art of hosting: what to cook for a dinner party when you don’t know your guests, how to navigate “chicken tender people”, and why a build-your-own meal might be the safest (and most subtly judgmental) move. This episode will get you scheming your own grilling future.

    Ep 22: Spice Love (& Regret) & Tequila Truths: Thailand, Mexico, and the Cost of Culinary Curiosity

    In this episode of the Over Seasoned podcast, the crew records at Icon Studios in Atlanta and dives into wild food travel stories from Thailand and Mexico. From spice levels that hit way harder than expected, to dispensary-fueled eating sprees, bathroom survival strategies, and what not to order on travel days, this episode is a brutally honest look at the risks of culinary adventure. The guys also go deep on tequila culture in Jalisco, touring distilleries in the town of Tequila, breaking down how tequila is actually made, the difference between tequila and mezcal, blue agave farming, and the controversial additives and lawsuits shaking up the tequila industry. This is the real talk about what happens when curiosity beats common sense.

    Ep 21: The Soup Episode: Pho Obsession, (More) Michelin Drama, & Travel Food Fatigue

    In this episode of OverSeasoned, the crew dives headfirst into a full-blown pho obsession after discovering unforgettable Vietnamese soup in Manila and Thailand. What starts as travel food fatigue turns into a deep appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine, broth culture, and the subtle differences between Northern pho vs Southern pho. They debate the Michelin Guide’s impact on restaurants, why Bib Gourmand spots often beat three-star dining, and how global cities like Manila and Montreal can deliver world-class bowls of pho. The episode also explores soup culture across countries, including Colombian classics like caldo de costilla, and how those traditions connect to the love of pho (& soup season writ large) If you love food travel, Vietnamese food, and Michelin debates… this one’s for you.

    In this festive episode of the Overseasoned podcast, we broadcast from Manila (where Christmas starts in September) and break down our ultimate holiday gift guide for chefs, food lovers, and every pain-in-the-ass restaurant person in your life. From handcrafted Feder Knives, to Spanish olive oils and high-end coffee grinders, we run through the kitchen gear, pantry staples, and big-ticket splurges that are actually worth gifting. This episode is perfect for anyone searching for foodie gift ideas or if you simply want to hear us detour into pasta primavera history, cold brew philosophy, espresso math, olive-oil snobbery, and mezcal trauma.

    Ep 19: When Life Gets Ya Down… There’s Always Beef Jerky

    This week on the OverSeasoned Podcast, we turn a derailed Vietnam trip into a full-blown deep dive into one of America’s greatest culinary treasures: beef jerky. We exchange our visa drama saltiness for the saltiness that REALLY matters. Join us as we revel in the treasures of the upstate NY gem, Barb’s Butchery, where Xavier recounts his near-spiritual experience. Add in homemade childhood jerky experiments, a beef-tallow lip balm love affair, and a lively debate on alternative jerkies… and you’ve got the most unexpectedly emotional jerky episode we’ve ever recorded (so far…).

    Ep 18: Bib Gourmand Boys: Are Michelin Stars Even Worth It?

    This week, the OverSeasoned Podcast crew goes all-in on the one thing the food world won’t shut up about: Michelin stars. From Manila’s first-ever Michelin Guide debut to Philadelphia finally getting recognized (after Tampa… seriously?), we break down how the star system actually works (and why the hype so often misses the mark). Why can’t a “special journey” can’t just mean driving two hours for the world’s best empanada instead of a four-hour tasting menu that tells you when to speak? We debate Bib Gourmand vs. fine dining, laugh about $19 endive salads and $15 Stella in Vegas, drop Bourdain lore, and unpack why hospitality at the highest levels can feel more like you’re in their house… not a restaurant you’re paying a fortune to visit. If you love restaurants, cooking, travel, culinary storytelling, or you just want to hear us roast the Michelin Guide with love, humor, and a bit of salt… this is your episode.

    Ep 17: Thanksgiving Unstuffed: Cooking Tips, Traditions & Hot Potato Takes

    This week on the OverSeasoned Podcast, we dive headfirst into the real heart of Thanksgiving cooking: from whipping up the perfect mashed potatoes (butter AND milk?!) to navigating the never-ending debate over stuffing. The OS Crew breaks down essential recipes and reveals the culinary tips that make hosting (even for just two people) feel doable (maybe save the stuffing for Christmas?). Tune in for the best ways to avoid gluey potatoes, nail your brussels game, and bring in wine pairings that actually work. This episode is packed with relatable chaos, practical cooking insights, and just enough of the cozy vibes that make the holiday worthwhile.

    Ep 16: Stone Crab Homecoming & Big Asado Energy

    Fresh off an Argentina meat marathon, Xavier lands in Sarasota craving seafood and heads straight to Walt’s for a stone-crab-powered homecoming. From condiment debates to Manila’s Farmer Sanchez adding unexpected pizzazz to pizza, the OverSeasoned guys riff on food, culture, and identity… plus the gospel of Wednesday/Sunday asados, hunting for the perfect strawberry, and why fruterías, giant charcoal knobs, and Lincoln-log chimineas make Argentine grilling a world of its own.
