This is my first time listening to the podcast and I loved the dynamic between Shantel, Roxanne, and Stu! Perfect balance of Housewives, Pop Culture, and personal stories.

Chef Stu it’s such a great interviewer! Relaxed, funny, entertaining. Great questions and lets the guest talk. His guests seem to really enjoy talking to him and it’s a fun conversation. Great job Chef Stu. 5/5!

Love this podcast- just fun without the weight that other podcasts seem to hang on to. it’s always great to laugh and I feel good every time!!

Beyond annoying. If your career depends on speaking to an audience, clear communication should be a priority. Unfortunately, he struggles to form coherent sentences and relies heavily on filler words, especially “like,” which becomes distracting very quickly.
What makes the content even harder to watch is the constant negativity toward others in the culinary space. He frequently criticizes chefs, cooking show hosts, and content creators, often dismissing their accomplishments and questioning whether they deserve their platforms. Constructive criticism is one thing, but repeatedly tearing down others comes across as bitterness rather than expertise.
Claiming to be a chef does not automatically make someone the authority on who is or isn’t worthy of success. If others have built audiences and opportunities in the industry, that’s a reflection of their own work and appeal. Constantly attacking them only undermines his own credibility.

I like the idea of the show and there are some good moments, but he needs to learn how to ask a question and listen to the answer. Answering a question he asked a guest and speaking over them isn’t entertaining. He uses the word “like" way too much, along with swearing excessively and it’s not necessary.
