    This week dos amigos are here and it's not the two you think it is. Or maybe you do, I don't know how your brain works... yet.

    Bryan and Reaves reveal our placement in the Top 10 Top Chef Podcasts list, give advice to the podcasts we beat, and give respect to the ones that beat us. And then it wouldn't be a Pod Chef without talking Top Chef, so we discussed Top Chef Season 21, Episode 11 "Lay it All on the Table".

    This week Bryan and Jamal share a letter Tom sent his mother from the front lines of Restaurant Wars to celebrate Mothers Day and we talk about a pretty mediocre episode of Top Chef: S21, E8 - "Restaurant Wars". War, war never changes... but maybe it should.

    Editor's note - I edited some stuff even though Jamal and Reaves didn't think I would, and the episode didn't come out on Wednesday like they joked... because it came out on Thursday.

KMMarc ,

Love the flavor of the recaps!!

If you’re ready to be entertained and amused - this is a really fun podcast that adds a humorous insight and commentary to the top chef show episodes. The hosts each bring a perfect blend of wit and personality and complement each other perfectly! It’s my go-to podcast now for my boring commute! I also love that they don’t push culinary knowledge down your throat and just have fun with it! You can tell they vibe - love it!

They don’t seem to even like the show

30 minutes in And they haven’t even mentioned the show.

Edit: Warning to all those thinking of leaving a less than glowing review. These hosts are thin-skinned!!!

The absolute best Top Chef recap podcast

I look forward to listening to Pod Chef immediately after a new episode of Top Chef airs. And when I say “immediately,” I really mean five days later, since Top Chef airs on Wednesdays and Pod Chef drops on Mondays. Nonetheless, it is the best Top Chef recap podcast out there, full of great jokes, witty observations, and insider information. (I still can’t believe Tom Colicchio let’s them get away with it.)
