Sound Bites is an excellent show with fun food talk from Memphis food critic Jennifer Biggs and bon vivant Chris Herrington. The topics are always interesting and the pair have a nice repartee. However, I would recommend avoiding episodes featuring Eric Barnes, who breaks the usual convivial atmosphere with his particularly smug and grating presence.
