Not only are we back, but so are our inappropriate jokes, wildly controversial hot topics, and audio issues!

We say this every eleven months, but — we’re back, back, back again!

We're back in a big way!

Live from Fresh Fest Digi Fest 2020.

“The only time black people, black families felt safe was in the confines of their home. And food was the catalyst for that gathering.” Featuring @geostable/@table86podcast.

This week, we’ve got aaaalll the tea on the Alison Roman debacle.

It’s called journalism, girls, look it up. Let’s dissect some stories and talk about some positive stuff.

Whew chile, we rusty but we back.

This week we read each other for *filth* over whether beans belong in chili (they do), stan for some insanely creative sausages, and discuss coffee as it relates to hustle culture. As always we have some stunning instacrushes as well as all the things we love, hate, and ate. Available on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts now!

This week we have a spectacular episode for y’all. We have a heartfelt discussion on the women that shape our culinary identities plus we’re debuting a new segment: Try It or Toss It. Sherród runs down his kitchenware shopping spree and then dives deep into Mashama Bailey’s Chef’s Table episode. Danielle has some outstanding hot topics including the first black winemakers served on an airline; and spills all the tea on so-called superfoods. And of course we have some insanely great instacrushes as well as all the things we love, hate, and ate.
