This week we're joined by close personal friend, returning guest, and honorary amigo quatro - Kevin Bartelt (Hollywood Handbook, Flagrant Ones, Teacher's Lounge... basically all your favorite podcasts)! Kevin helps us recap Top Chef Season 19, Episode 5 - "Don't Mess With BBQ".  Which we start chatting about at 37:45, but then you'd miss some great small talk with our guest!

Also... Jamal apologizes for giving Bryan a hard time about the editing after he failed to edit last week's episode, we get a confusing email from Awesome Con about our acceptance into their show, Bryan's audio is bad because he's a new uncle and in a hotel, and Chef Kevin shares a sandwich story...

All of that and nothing else unless you can prove to me that you aren't an undercover cop on this week's POD CHEF!

Special thanks to Kevin Bartelt for coming back on the pod. Check out Chef Kevin's website for all his going-ons - https://www.kevinbartelt.com
