Eat Me in St Louis

This podcast provides such great insight into STL food from a combination of an everyday consumer and “foodie”. All this insight AND they’re funny?! Highly recommend!

At first, I was like, “Can I objectively review a podcast if I have already been a guest?” But then I thought about it, and realized that the fact that I went on it was already an endorsement. After all, why would I try to become a guest on a show I didn’t like? I don’t have that kind of time or energy. Anyway, I love the banter that Nick, Travis, and Francie have. And as a relatively recent transplant to St. Louis, I credit this show with giving me helpful insights on enjoyable restaurants as I explore this city’s fantastic food culture. I don’t like to cook, but I love to eat, and food is always a great way to connect to a place. I really credit this show with helping me settle into life in St. Louis. They even convinced me to try a few places I didn’t think I’d like! I also love that they produce a reasonable amount of content (people who put out 3 episodes a week . . . how do you have that kind of time???), and it’s got amateur vibes. It’s a throwback to the original days of podcasting, when people were creating shows for the now-defunct iPods. As an elder millennial, I appreciate this DIY approach.

I don’t even eat and I love this podcast.

I actually agree with a recent reviewer who said they laugh and correct at the same time. I’ve heard more mispronounced words (‘nduja, prosciutto, etc) in this podcast than most but I actually think it’s part of the charm. If you’re expecting in depth analysis of food perhaps there is another podcast for you. If you’re expecting the opinions of people who like food and can tell you if they enjoyed something while making you laugh, then this is a podcast for you.
