What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Every episode that I have listened to has been meaningful in one way or another. Today, I listened to the interview with Daniel Humm. His story and words gave me chills and Kappy asks all the right questions! Thank you for continuing to share beyond the plate!

ecclove · Oct 2022

This show has been truly such a joy to listen to and I couldn’t recommend it enough! As a totally obsessed foodie and prospective chef, I was so excited to be able to get in on these open and organic conversations with leaders of the industry. Hearing the background and come up stories - both good and bad - of some BIG time chefs such as Wolfgang Puck, Marcela Valladolid, Marcus Samuelson, Jet Tila, Giada De Laurentiis, Rachael Ray, Guy Fieri, and even impressive restauranteurs such as Danny Meyer and Josh Capon, opened my eyes wide. It is largely in part of these stories that I have decided to launch into my passion for food and attend culinary school!!

Alessandra Ciuffo · Aug 2022

I love listening to Beyond the Plate because Kappy asks the best questions, and I leave with a sense of inspiration from his exceptional guests. I also appreciate this podcast’s dedication to illuminating the great work his guests do to make our world a better place.

D Hahn · Jun 2021

Kappy has hands down the most interesting food podcast I have listened to. Behind the scenes, origin stories, good deeds, recipes from the best chefs in the world. Cannot recommend this more!
