Often Grating, Sometimes Enjoyable

“I want to love this show every week but it’s often difficult. I love the political angle because food is inherently political - the interview with NYC mayoral candidate Eric Adams was excellent and renewed my interest in the show. What propels me to turn the show off is the grating and out of touch/cold takes from Daniel. His energy has pretty obviously shifted recently, he’s far more subdued but that feels disingenuous and low energy. I enjoy Amanda but I think her perspective is limited and narrow also - generally makes the show feel very out of touch. I love Eater because I think the food journalism is strong and to be honest I do love unnecessarily academic and sometimes elitist takes. But this show is going the way of other Vox Media content - The Weeds is unlistenable and unfortunately Eater’s digest can be too.
As a note, I do not think the show uses its platform to speak to food racism and other political aspects of the food world that are systemically racist. And i think that has a lot to do with the limited and white perspectives of the cohosts. For example: Cheering on Anna Kournikova? With no mention of her blatant and unchecked history of racism? Are you not embarrassed?
I hope some of these reviews help shape the direction of the show but some are a too personal to take seriously as a review of the content.”

“I tend to binge-listen The Eater Upsell; set a task and cue up a batch. There are so many reasons to do this, the primary one is that Helen and Greg demonstrate the Platonic Ideal of the culinary podcast. They have an informed perspective, that fans don’t have and industry professionals lack...”Read full review »
