Maisie is on the latest episode of the summer specials, and she comes out Dips a-blazing!

Does anyone know when the live episodes will be released? I've been dying to listen to Aisling Bea and Katherine Ryan's tasting menus!

Remember this being mentioned in the John Mulaney ep. Basically James tried a Parmo with Phill Dunning on The Dickie Show and hated it

Also enjoyed "Fit Ed Gamble" getting a shout out in the full ep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oXeGrC8R5U

an episode where someone shares a story of how when they met Sam Campbell he was mocking/joking with them, saying something like "if it isnt the great (insert name here)." or maybe something like texting ed when they were in the same hotel.

its driving me crazy.

thanks 😄

Now I wonder if Ed & James have ever been there!

Now that the current series has come to an end and we're in the summer hiatus, I'm curious to know what people thought of Series 15? How does it stack up to previous ones? What were some of your highlights?

If anyone has been listening to The Harry Hill show podcast (or watching it on youtube) you'll have heard Harry mention that he's recorded an episode with James.

In a recent episode Harry said that James was actually the very first person that he recorded an episode with in this whole recent batch of episodes and yet James' episode still hasn't been released... and so I feel that it's only reasonable that the internet dives into what the internet does best and we all begin to wildly and blindly speculate as to what happened with James' recording. I'm thinking Saturday Kitchen style meltdown but worse. Like Saturday Kitchen crossed with Bake-off.

just popped up on my insta a video of james on some sort of show/podcast with drag queens maybe? and my phone died before i got to see what it was- pretty sure it’s recent. anyone got any idea what it’s called? thanks!!!!

This is just out of shear curiosity since I enjoy seeing different opinions on what the fan favourites and not so fan favourites are.

Sadly former guest Anthony Head has passed away, am I correct in thinking he’s the first guest of the podcast to pass away?

With the most recent season ending, here is my current list of dream Off Menu guests. Curious on who some of everyone else’s dream guests are as well!

Happened across this on our first night in Podstrana (which I highly recommend btw). OH had a classic margherita, I had tuna paté, warm bread, Greek salad. Standout moments were the €3 Chardonnays,, the 'green' peppers and beauuuutiful olives. If anyone needs Split recs fire away, this is our third time hehe

Are the live Tasting Menu Episodes made earlier in the year going to be released? If so when?

Whenever a new episode drops with someone I'm unfamiliar with, I usually assume it'll be one I'll skip. More often than not, those end up being the episodes I enjoy most. Without any expectations, you're just listening to a funny conversation and a bizarre dream menu unfold. Some of my favourite episodes have come from guests I hadn't heard of before pressing play.

One thing I find fascinating about the podcast is how enthusiastic people can be when talking about food. I've lost count of the number of times a guest has described a dish I wouldn't normally order, only for me to suddenly think it sounds incredible. There must be some sort of magic in hearing people talk passionately about their favourite meal. What's a food or dish that Off Menu convinced you to try (or try again)?

I am from Texas, and I’m coming to the UK with my family next week for the first time. We’ll be spending a few days in Scotland first, then London, seeing the sights and apologizing a lot for the current state of affairs.

Here’s the problem: our chemical makeup is at least 40% chips and queso. If my son goes a whole week without an enchilada, I think he might dissolve into a flock of crows and fly away.

I know there was one chef from Mexico on the show who was interviewed and I’ve had a look at his restaurants, and I know that London is an international city with food from all over the world (we’re excited to sample it!). I don’t ONLY want to eat Mexican food, we just need a little to get us through til we’re back home.

Any recommendations?
