“Dave Arnold turns out to be a super great host and have a ton of great anecdotes from food to history. The show varies in format (guests vs questions vs vendors), so I recommend trying a couple episodes. If you are curious about food science, hydrocolloids, or you just enjoy industry stories,...”Read full review »

“Why does the host even invite a guest? I was really looking forward to hearing from the Anova guy about the Precision Oven, but the host spent the entire time telling the guest things that he should have been asking. Also, all the stories and rants and I’m just left with “ug…””

“I respect education. However education without tact, good taste, or wisdom can come off as adolescent arrogance in any case. Perhaps if Dave achieved all that he did while working full time behind a kitchen line his achievement and knowledge would be truly impressive and touching and truly fine...”Read full review »

“Top to bottom, every episode has been interesting and informative. Entertaining to the point of making you laugh aloud, yet sublimely nerdy and technical at times.”

“Love this podcast for the witty banter and solid and interesting info on cooking “issues”. Listen every Tuesday or whenever it’s available to stream. If you are interested in food in any shape or form, be it chef, home cook or just a foodie this should be in your queue!”

“I’m astonished that the single episode I listened to featured 10+ minutes of aggressive abuse of Nastassia perpetrated by Dave. Appalling. That Dave thinks he can treat a woman like this demonstrates what a sick and violent man he is.”

“Dave is really good about disseminating information and his knowledge of food and all things related is wildly vast and so helpful. I cannot stand Nastassia becuase all she does is sigh and make disruptive comments and noises that are simply irritating, I suppose she's just providing non...”Read full review »

“This show has pockets of real culinary wisdom mixed with knowledgeable nonsense. Food focussed but happy to tangent into any subject - and I mean any! Some great guests with real industry stories and always a funny story to share. Highly recommended.”

“Dave is a charismatic host with a superhuman memory. He goes into incredible depth into a wide range of food topics. I’ve tried a lot of other food podcasts but I find them redundant and boring. This is the only one I have remained a listener of for years.”

“It’s a great subject and somehow the host is able to get some amazing guests, but it’s the host himself that ruins it. He’s deeply insecure and abrasive, desperate to show off his knowledge (which is considerable) to gain the approval of his more esteemed guests.
Get a decent host and you’ve got...”Read full review »
