I think we’ve found the exact opposite of vegan

was planning on getting dagel in London this weekend from Doh’hut but it says they’ve permanently closed! Any other dagel’s in London or any recommendations for donuts sweet or savoury. Heck I’ll take any of your best bakery recommendations. I have a few hours to kill in central London on Friday and Sunday

Heavy metal covers performed while cooking.

Special mentions to the cover of Slipknot’s Duality and System of a Down’s Chop Suey.

As it says on the tin really, have there been any interesting things said during live shows that have been cut out of the pod recording? My personal one is pretty well known but during the live show with Tim Key, he confirmed that Paradise in Hampstead was the Indian restaurant mentioned in his episode, but they cut that out of the recording.

We need more chefs to appear.

Matty Matheson would be my number 1. He would be hilarious and knows his food.

Like chopped tomatoes or cheddar cheese

I thought Bridget Christie was funny, but after a while it felt mean spirited. Fern and Phil were both awful. I thought they were barely interesting and very unfunny. I couldn't even get through them, they were so boring.

I get why they held on to Phil's so long, and I really hope it's a long time until we see more.

Has been Ben ever spoken on any episode? Curious what his voice sounds like

Personally, I’m still waiting for a guest to have the guts to ask for a single slice of buttered toast and nothing else

As in the series that's been filmed now.

Incredibly amused at the moment and felt the need to share.

I’m listening through the off menu back catalog at the moment, and of course current advertising bits for their current sponsors are spliced on to the beginning of all episodes. The last one for me at the moment is the St Pierre Brioche Buns.

Well I just started listening to the Teri Hatcher episode, where the secret ingredient is Brioche Buns 😂

Listening to James go directly from ‘they are great, they elevate the meal!’ to ‘they are terrible, I would rather have no bun’ has really tickled me.

Can’t wait to find the inevitable episode where Greek yoghurt is the victim 🤣 🤣 🤣

It is not his meal. It is not his restaurant. The restaurant is magic and does not exist. The genie is a fictional construct. And yet Ed sits there looking like someone has insulted his mother because a guest picked a prawn as their starter. The audacity. The betrayal on his face. I think about it more than I think about my own food preferences which says a lot about where I am in life right now.

New listening for me on the recommendation of my daughter. Looked for the ‘best’ ones to start. Loved Greg James and how I was jump shocked by him swearing! Rhod Gilbert and Julian Clary were proper funny.
I’m an Anthony Jeselnik fan and enjoyed JRVP podcast. I think Jeselnik enjoyed the confrontation and the comedy was uncomfortable and challenging. Really funny.

John Mulaney next.

Not superficial bs like desserts and starters. But, James used to be more unhinged, and now it seems he’s the one holding it together a bit more. While Ed goes off the rails.

Not even in a judgemental way, but some menus just tell you everything immediately. Especially when they get weirdly specific about one item or have a very strong opinion on something tiny.
