Special Sauce with Ed Levine

I’ve been following SeriousEats for a long time. The podcast is a great way to get insights on cooking, but also hear from chefs and cookbook authors.

I recently discovered this podcast, Special Sauce and I was thrilled to find it. However,I was disappointed to see that it took a political turn with the episode featuring Kamala Harris. I appreciate podcasts as a form of entertainment and education and prefer to keep them free from political discussions, unless of course it is a podcast idefined political. I felt like Ed Levine is using his much deserved culinary credentials as a means to promote a political preference . I didn't like it. I appreciate him sharing his work and the podcast. I hope future episodes return to the culinary focus that drew me in , so I can resume listening .

It’s interesting to hear the backstories of these different chefs, the journeys are quite varied. Starting a small business is tough, but the guests show that a good concept, solid training and a lot of grit go into this stuff.

I am a huge fan of this podcast. I so appreciate the episodes about Gaza, farm workers rights, and other critical issues. At the same time, I love the joy that shines through in this podcast, as found in the episodes dedicated to chocolate chip cookies and pizza. Hope Special Sauce continues on forever!
