But I love listening to this to get a good grasp of the variety and interesting food options in HOU. Makes me want to move there sometimes! Such a diverse city with incredible food options.
It’s a decent podcast to get more in depth info on food news in Houston, but half the time the guest hosts are not great. Any episode with the guy who feels obligated to say “daddy” ironically 75 times is an instant skip. If a joke doesn’t work, don’t lean into it harder. You’re a food person not a comedian. Stick to food and let comedians do the jokes
Please stop saying “ya know” It makes listening unbearable.
Massively good podcast to stay informed on restaurant and bar intel in Houston. Fun to listen to. I always have a few new places I want to try after listening to the beginning few minutes of each episode. Past episodes with the Canadian chef who cusses a lot are amazing.
Eric and his co-hosts provide the best info about new and exciting restaurants and bars in Houston. I find myself going to his “restaurants of the week” every week after I listen. His interviews with chefs and owners are so insightful and inspiring. I eat out almost every meal so I love hearing what his recommendations are around town. Keep up the great work!
