This Is Top Chef, Not Top Podcast

Did Jack cry two times during this episode? Of course. Did Amanda think the chefs were cooking for George W. Bush's family? Obviously. This is who we are, dear listeners. We're down to the actual top six and thinks are heating up in the VRBO, we mean, Top Chef kitchen. Listen now! 

Houston, we have a problem, and it's because they sent Jae home! Listeners, we knew the NASA challenge was happening, and we got all the space food our hearts desired. Jack and Amanda have many thoughts and questions, including why was Last Chance Kitchen trying to kill Sarah, how does gravity work, and why isn't Marcus Samuelson on this show more?! Happy listening! 

After some technical difficulties we FINALLY have a new episode for you this week! This episode was about making food from your soul, but it was really about Zion Escobar. She's got a point, she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. No choice but to stan! 

Um, best Restaurant Wars ever? That's certainly debatable, but we got two solid restaurant concepts, great food, and an EPIC downfall of one of this season's frontrunners. The cheek, the nerve, the gall, the audacity, and the gumption!

Look, when Tom Colicchio tells you he wants more drama from the contestants so he can make dad jokes about dinosaurs, you do what he says! Apparently, Jackson was the only one to understand the assignment, and even he couldn't save this episode from being Amanda and Jack's least favorite of the season so far. Did no one watch the Charlize Theron episode from season 9?! Tune in here!

Just like Saoirse Ronan said in the Greta Gerwig remake of "Little Women"...WOMEN! That is what this episode is about and we are hear for it! And so is Tom! Thanks for being an ally, Tom! The chefs this week must make a dish inspired by a female Texas trailblazer, and all we can say is more Sheryl Swoopes! Happy listening!

We're finally back! Life has been going on for Amanda and Jack, but we are finally back with a recap of last week's BBQ-themed challenge. Is there anything better than brisket? Yes, and apparently it's Evelyn's burnt end crumbles. Give us the recipe, Evelyn!

The producers of Top Chef finally watched Crazy Rich Asians and we're off to the Asian Night Market! JK, but we really do get an Asian Night Market challenge, and Jack and Amanda want ALL the food. Well, except those grilled potatoes. In other news, Jack is back at his office for work and cannot deal, and Amanda is dreaming of Island Noodles. Happy listening!

In an episode full of cheese and carbs, Amanda and Jack couldn't help but wonder -- should this episode been sponsored by Tums? The chefs go head to head in a football related challenge, which tbh, is beyond anything Amanda and Jack can understand. But we still had fun watching! We're just two episodes in season 19 of Top Chef and things are already heating up!
