Welcome to the party, Dale! That's right you little pod chef babies... we got a big time guest in the oven this week (is that a fun way to say this?) Top Chef contestant/judge Dale Talde is hanging out with us today! Dale was very generous with his time, he was an excellent guest, and is now our best friend and honorary amigo numero cinco! Our interview with Dale is about an hour long and then our recap starts at 56:35.

Dale let us know he still loves watching Top Chef, roasts Jamal's food, and invites us to be VIPs at his restaurant, Goosefeather. And then he leaves and we talk about Top Chef Season 19, Episode 9 - "Freedmen's Town".

All of that and nothing else until you remove this curse on this week's POD CHEF!
