Listen as Chef Dan Jacobs walks us through his Cumin Lamb Dumpling recipe; a dish that is on the menu of his Milwaukee restaurant, DanDan.

Eye-opening, insightful and informative

Kappy has hands down the most interesting food podcast I have listened to. Behind the scenes, origin stories, good deeds, recipes from the best chefs in the world. Cannot recommend this more!

Foodie? Or just someone that eats? Listen!!

Love all things food and thrilled to stumble upon this podcast. I was in the service industry from bus girl to bartender that spanned off and on for 15 years. Now I enjoy all kinds of dining...fine to formal and all in between. Love Kappy’s interview style, lightning rounds and hearing from chefs and restauranteurs that I know and love to some I am just learning about. WARNING...it makes you hungry and want to sit in the kitchen and taste test all the yummy food that is talked about :). Great work!! Erin

Love this podcast.

I’ve loved every podcast so far. I just listened to Alex G and the way she described her food, her life, everything is amazing. I found myself tearing up at times. I’m such a dork but it is so true. Rachel, Giada, Tom C, Michael S...the list goes on. It’s so interesting to get a glimpse into what their lives are and were like. To top it off, every guest on this show gives back in big ways. If only I was younger, I’d have definitely gone in a cooking direction. I’m at the point in my life that I’m ready to relax a bit but still love to cook at home. I’ve never even been to any of the restaurants they talk about but many are on my bucket list. But the giving back part? I do that and so should everyone! Thanks Kappy and all your guests!
