Enigma47 ,

A true podcast gem

While Simon may put on a tough exterior on Food Network, he is not only personable in the flesh but also conveys his kind persona via this podcast. This is my go-to relaxation podcast after a long day in the company of a fine spirit or wine. I put in my AirPods and proceed to let Simon’s wisdom flow…

If you enjoy history and/or cooking, I promise that you shall not be disappointed.

Thank you Simon for doing this podcast and I thoroughly appreciate and anticipate future episodes!

Blahhhh

I am a fan of Simon and admire his wealth of culinary knowledge but this podcast is very scripted, seriously one note and monotone at best very hard to get excited and see it thru

Jeff Endrizzi ,

Thorough

Simon Majumdar proves episode after episode he’s willing and able to dive deep into topics and brings food history to life. He’s a real treasure.
