We get Reaves' review of his trip to Bryan's hometown - Chincoteague Island, we reveal that the contestants have to fight one of the judges to avoid getting eliminated, and we discuss the troubled rise and fall of the middle finger.

Reaves didn't show up to another record, but Bryan and Jamal were there and even though they missed their amigo, they still had a freakin BANGARANG episode! That's right, your two best friends watched Top Chef Season 3, Episode 2 "First Impressions". And oh boy did we have a lot of fun. Here are some alternate episode titles I almost used - "Charity Chicken" / "It's Not Tom Ford, It's Tom For-ward" / "CALLING ALL FEET FREAKS" / "Fish are Mean"... So yeah, this episode is a good one!----more----Subscribe for new episodes every Monday. Rate us 5 stars and let us know what you had for dinner last night in the review!

NO DAYS OFF! Just because a new season of Top Chef just ended, doesn't mean the three amigos are going on vacation. We are headed to Miami to watch Top Chef Season 3 and we are starting with episode 1 - "4-Star All Stars" - which is the all stars from season 1 and 2 for some reason... So all of our old friends are back and they are back to their old tricks - and we love to see it, we missed them even though they weren't gone very long. We learn about an old video game franchise, discuss how Tom seems much happier in the past compared to the current season, learn that Jamal is always right, and we talk about MUSHROOMS!----more----Subscribe for new episodes every Monday.

This week the three amigos say ADIOS to another season of Top Chef. We watch Top Chef Season 18, Episode 14 "The Next Top Chef Is..." (GREAT episode title...) and then talk about it like the best friends we are. Also - Tom gave us our report cards, we reveal who won our fantasy league, and we decide not to watch Top Chef Amateurs because it looks like shit.

This week our record was infiltrated by Chet Montgomery who forced Bryan and Reaves to play The Top Chef Newly Wed Game with their wives - Ginnie and Kerry. Once we figured out how the game worked, we ended up having a pretty good time. And then after Chet fled the recording and Jamal came back, our wives stuck around and helped us discuss Top Chef Season 18, Episode 13 - "Shelfishly Delicious".  Jamal is over Dawn's inability to complete her dishes, we figure out why all three chef-testants are going to the finale, and weigh in on who we think is going to win it all next week!----more---- Pod Chef LinksFollow us on Instagram -@podchefpodcast@bjacksoninaction@hell0newmanFollow along with our Top Chef Fantasy game - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wlNt9mYe9mVn1Gjysd9V4eBKcU6QE0hOSLRIAIzV4Uk/edit?usp=sharingFor more music from Jeff Ray who produced our theme, check out his IG - https://www.instagram.com/pifftannen/

We are BACK AT FULL BEST FRIENDS STRENGTH and are joined by our friend and social media marketing mogul Charlie Visconage who gives us some FREE tips to help us market the podcast and get those coveted 5 stars! We watched Top Chef Season 18, Episode 12 - "The Cheesier, The Better". We each take turns saying Oregon a couple of times, hit the writer's room to punch up a joke for Padma, and try to figure out if Tom has ever talked to a human being in person before. It's good to be back!----more----Charlie VisconageCheck out Charlie's art on instagram - @cavisconagehttps://www.visconage.com/Pod Chef LinksFollow us on Instagram -@podchefpodcast@bjacksoninaction@hell0newmanFollow along with our Top Chef Fantasy game - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wlNt9mYe9mVn1Gjysd9V4eBKcU6QE0hOSLRIAIzV4Uk/edit?usp=sharingFor more music from Jeff Ray who produced our theme, check out his IG - https://www.instagram.com/pifftannen/----more----

Well folks you only get TWO AMIGOS again this week because Bryan had to miss the record, but he did edit the episode so it's sort of like he was there. We had the pleasure of being joined by Jeff Ray (Jeff Ray Films, guy who made our theme song!) as we watched Top Chef Season 18, Episode 11 - "Blind Ambition". We learn about Jeff's process for coming up with our amazing theme song, talk about the very simple quickfire challenge premise, and debate whether if crying while reading a note from your family makes you an emotionally weak person or not. Editor's note - I really enjoyed getting to listen to this episode as a fan, and was really bummed I had to miss the record.----more----Jeff Rayhttps://jeffrayfilms.com/Instagram - @pifftannenPod Chef LinksFollow us on Instagram -@podchefpodcast@bjacksoninaction@hell0newmanFollow along with our Top Chef Fantasy game - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wlNt9mYe9mVn1Gjysd9V4eBKcU6QE0hOSLRIAIzV4Uk/edit?usp=sharingFor more music from Jeff Ray who produced our theme, check out his IG - https://www.instagram.com/pifftannen/

This week there are only TWO BEST FRIENDS as Reaves was busy celebrating his birthday and couldn't make the record, but we powered through and had a killer episode with a KILLER guest - Monique Moses (Astronomy Club). We discuss Top Chef Season 18, Episode 10 "Tournament of Tofu". We speculate that Dawn "cheated" off Byron even though we love her and we love Shota vs. Maria. We also learned that both Bryan and Monique each almost died the day of the recording, Jamal has never had tofu, and why bother remembering anything when you have Google.Our final five is set! Who do you think will win?----more----Subscribe for new episodes every Monday. Rate us 5 stars and let us know what you had for dinner last night in the review!
