“This was always my favorite go to Top Chef Podcast. I’m afraid it isn’t any more. I understand the need to minimize but….. it’s gone way too overboard. Too long of a wait for new releases and too many teaser episodes. Guess it’s time to pack my knives and go…..”

“I realize you need to make some money but 5 minutes of ads to start the show, super late episode releases and so much behind the paywall is just too much capitalism. Come on guys.”

“I love this pod (a competitive analysis would show there’s nothing even close) but it’s killing me how long the new eps are taking to be released for non-paying subscribers. I honestly would pay $50 annually but can’t do it all at once. Can you please make a monthly option? Would be a little over...”Read full review »

“Paywall is significantly hurting my enjoyment of the show. Top Chef aired Wednesday night and there’s still no recap episode for non paid subscribers as of Friday evening! If you want to give people 24-48 hours lead time on the recap episodes that’s fine with me but to have to wait until the...”Read full review »

“I understand that the creators need to monetize podcast to ensure their time and effort is paid but to put a pay wall on a review of the show that may or may not require additional fees to watch is kind of ridiculous. I enjoy your opinions and review of the show but I’m sad that on top of the ads...”Read full review »

“And it’s been fun, but I’m signing out due to the subscription content not coming out the following week and the ridiculously high cost of the subscription. Love ya guys, good luck with the new season.”

“I understand I'm a salty poor person and that is a major reason for the low score- with the new season they are releasing a severely diminished PYK, with the rest behind the paywall of their new website. It really stinks when a podcast removes what would be regular content and releases it for...”Read full review »

“I realize that Kevin and Tom want to monetize their podcast. But they’ve completely sold out. This 40 minute episode had seven minutes of ads. Additionally they are now only providing certain content behind a pay wall. Needless to say, I will not be paying for that.
However, one of the biggest...”Read full review »

“This show pulls some great guest/cheftestant interviews and the scoring system is a fun framing device, but I have to agree with a few of the interviewers below. Kevin & Tom definitely have some underlying sexism and ethnocentrism that I’m sure they themselves wouldn’t recognize (and would...”Read full review »

It feels like you’ve crossed the line a wee bit from making a joke which we can all laugh along with into really slamming a country and a culture which has, as...”Read full review »

It is frustrating when the reason we are listening is for the show review. The most recent example was when interviewing Lorna, you asked her...”Read full review »

“So imagine this, I just bought season 19 on Amazon. I’m scrolling through top chef podcasts to see if I can find a good one to listen to between episodes. I click on yours and… you f*in put the winners name in the TITLE of your podcast?!?! Come on, guys! Rookie mistake.”

“This podcast is great but can they not afford microphones and high speed internet? One guy’s audio is perfect and the other seems like he’s using a headset from his telemarketing job from 1998. Please invest $100 in a real microphone and some real headphones and upgrade your internet connection....”Read full review »

“Decent recap show. Unfortunately, they don’t provide much deeper insight to my viewing experience. Hosts are really disappointed Top Chef is not a more combative show. This feels like a very dated way to think abt TC. With all of the divisiveness and sadness in our world today, it’s refreshing to...”Read full review »

But even if you’re not an NBA fan, still very much worth a listen to hear their takes on the cheftestants,...”Read full review »

“A great recap of Top Chef! A long time Top Chef lover, but I started listening to the pod this season. Love that they sometimes get contestants to come on for insider information. Kevin could stand to back down on the name dropping restaurants and discussing his own home cooking /recipes.”
