    Jun 4 2024

    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".

    Top Chef talk starts at 40:00
