A last-minute party with no menu inspiration. A kitchen with no space. A toddler who will only eat buttered pasta. Name your dinner emergency—Bon Appétit is here to help.
Dinner SOS is the podcast where we answer desperate home cooks' cries for help. In every episode, food director Chris Morocco and a rotating cast of cooking experts tackle a highly specific conundrum and present two solutions. The caller will pick one, cook through it, and let us know if we successfully helped rescue dinner.
Call in with your own dinner emergencies—no problem is too big or too small!

Customer Reviews
Bring Chris back!
This podcast does not exist without Chris. Last episode he was replaced by the most cringe host. Unlistenable. Bring Chris baxk!
Fun and helpful podcast
I enjoy this podcast so much! A lot of the episodes introduce me to helpful new tips, concepts, or recipes, and even when they don’t seem relevant to my cooking life, they are always entertaining and interesting.
one of my fave, go-to podcasts
i hate to give 4 stars but only doing this because as someone who’s listened since the first ep and looks forward to each new one when it drops, i have to say i’d really like to see a better variety of chef guests…
shilpa is great(!) but at this point i have to admit that i get disappointed when looking forward to a new guest to find that it’s going to be the same chef that’s on basically every ep… 😬
really hope chris or the right person sees this because this otherwise is one of the best food podcasts that i listen to!
