What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

-I love Simon’s love of food, culture, and the world that comes through in every episode and topic. A little foodie, a little history, a little culture. All rolled into great conversations

Jahafer · Jun 2024

Simon Majumdar is widely known as a judge on Iron Chef America, Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay and many other food shows. But Simon is really a food historian. He has travelled the globe and studied American regional cuisine in depth. He has a sharp English wit that gives this podcast a fun flair. Is it possible to hear a twinkle is someone’s eye? In this podcast, it is audible.

Craig/Peeve · May 2024

While Simon may put on a tough exterior on Food Network, he is not only personable in the flesh but also conveys his kind persona via this podcast. This is my go-to relaxation podcast after a long day in the company of a fine spirit or wine. I put in my AirPods and proceed to let Simon’s wisdom flow… If you enjoy history and/or cooking, I promise that you shall not be disappointed. Thank you Simon for doing this podcast and I thoroughly appreciate and anticipate future episodes!

Enigma47 · May 2022

Simon Majumdar proves episode after episode he’s willing and able to dive deep into topics and brings food history to life. He’s a real treasure.
