    More, Please!
    Hearing chefs talk about their lives and work has been eye opening and completely mesmerizing to me. I’ll never think about eating out the same way again. The sacrifices that chefs make for their livelihood boggles my mind. Preparing food at home is a labor of love but after listening to Eli and his guests, cooking has become a passion. I turn on the podcast and get my chefs knife and chop vegetables and listen to Eli’s calm voice and excellent questions. The trouble is I’ve zipped through the episodes and am nearly at the end. Please continue making episodes or I’ll have to go to reruns!

    Racist Remarks
    This man likes to see children die so long as they are black and brown. 🇵🇸🇵🇸
  • Oh,please
    Mashama Bailey
    Thanks for a good interview ,and really allowing Bailey to speak, about her journey as a chef ,unlike some other podcasts where hosts constantly have to interject about themselves.

    Insightful
    Been listening since the Christopher Kearse Episode and dug back a little prior. Insightful show with great guests. I can finally feel relief when I hear about leaving a review. -MC
  • YMH
    Superb podcast
    What an amazing collection of insightful and inspirational interviews. The deep bench of guests just keeps getting better from a local perspective to a national scale.
  • the tonester
    Real chef’s podcast
    Absolutely love this podcast. The conversations are always knowledgeable yet engaging. I’m an exec chef in Santa Fe, NM and love listening to other industry vets talk shop and get into the nitty gritty, good/ and bad, of what we do. You probably won’t have heard of many of the chefs unless you’re from Philly but it hasn’t mattered for me yet. The guests have all been great. It feels like you’re sitting with your industry friends having a beer and comparing notes on how you do things and of the ups and downs for the week. Thanks for putting this out Chef. Keep up the great work.
  • Chazeye
    Stellar Pod
    These are consistently great deep dive conversations. I’ve listened to all of them since Eli started this, and also love the wide array of different people/chefs he’s had on from the Philly area and all over the country. Great work and please keep it going!
  • globalroutes
    Learn about perseverance and creativity
    This is not just about chefs and cooking but the experience of people who are deeply creative and have the perseverance to succeed in a highly competitive and capitalistic environment. One can learn a lot to apply to their own lives. Thanks Chef Kulp!
  • Al Jacoby
    If you like chefs, you’re going to really like this one!
    Great guests, great convo’s and the host, Eli Kulp, is a chef, which I think makes the conversations seem very natural. it’s like being a fly on the wall between two chefs talking. Very fun!!
  • Ecait21
    Amazing listen!
    Such a great podcast. Eli is a wonderful interviewer - so knowledgeable about his guests and a keeps the conversation flowing. So thankful to have this podcast as a Philly food enthusiast!
  • Sticky iki
    Love this podcast!
    Chef Eli Kulp is an awesome podcast host. I’ve been listening to this podcast since the start of covid. It’s awesome to see how the podcast has grown and to learn about the Philly culinary landscape
  • heatherhoffnagle
    Listened to every episode
    Love the deep dives into cooking, business, and more. Enjoy the shop talk too.
  • Victoria Spruiell
    Just discovered this
    I just discovered this podcast and really enjoyed it! I loved hearing José Garces’s life story and am looking forward to more episodes.
  • thishamesucks
    Fun podcast!
    I am not a chef but I love listening to the stories from the different guests. This podcast offers a view from the inside that even an outsider can understand and appreciate. It goes beyond the restaurant day to day but where the food comes from, it’s inspiration and the challenges that each individual has overcome.
  • XYZ restaurant worker
    Great podcast but.....
    How about a show about the regular person who works in the restaurants ? They are the cog in the machine that keeps the people who are you typically interviewing going and they get no shine. Interview a dishwasher, or someone behind the scenes, they have a lot to say too. Podcasts are a chance to tell a story, and everyone has one. Give the little guys a voice, they are the ones who deserve the most credit, Because we wouldn’t have the luxury of restaurants without the people who clean the floors, bus the tables, prep your food, cook your food, stir your martini. It’s time to give real context as to how this industry functions to outsiders. You don’t need to glorify them, it’s doesn’t have to be 1 person for 1 episode, it could be a category. This week I’m interviewing several “xyz “ restaurant workers and they are gonna tell their story about how/why they do this for a living. People need to not only connect to their food but to the average laborer who does it for you. Great podcast otherwise.

    Excellent listen
    Lovethe podcast, entertaining and insightful. Love the inside info on Philly scene. Joey Baldino episode was so good (through 20, can’t wait to plow through the rest) Keep it going Chef Eli!
  • OnKappysPlate
    Genuine
    Some of my best meals in Philly were from Chef Eli Kulp. His passion for ingredients and cooking always comes through in his food, but it’s amazing to see his passion come to light for more people to enjoy via his podcast. His leadership and mentorship will make a difference for many many people to come.

    The Great Conversation: Chef Edition
    There are not enough words to express the geinus of this podcast. The quality of the guest speakers; and for the early ones their subsequent addendums not only shows the vitality of the restaurant community but also exemplifies the host's own genius. I worked as a line cook for one of Chef Eli's restaurants and the experience was transformative. His ability to lead and teach and coach both his cooks and in many ways his guests into an enlighting service (conversation) is top of the line. It's an honor and a pleasure to listen to these podcasts amidst the coronavirus when I've been cooking over 100 hours a week. Thank you Chefs, Chef owners, dishwashers, service staff and cooks for your continued essential service. This podcast clearly demonstrates how eating and eateries affect our communities; it's worth the listen wheteher as a member of a brigade or as a guest who has dined outside of their homest in their life. Thank you Chef Eli.
  • VTAbby12
    ?
    Why do they riff on the red radio hour opening?? Otherwise a great show?
  • Lmncraig189
    Wonderful podcast!
    Eli’s story and background are really compelling, and he’s got great storytelling skills. It’s a new take on food podcasts-hearing peers talk to peers!
  • Solitude Kitchen
    Chef Eli’s newest creation
    Love the new podcast; the content, the casual conversation; hearing about the passion of food and cooking; getting to know more about chefs we know, and learning about chefs we don’t know. Especially enjoy the eleven-essential questions!
  • gailudel
    Great series

    Eli
    I’m so enjoying this new podcast. Who doesn’t love to talk about food! And Eli is such an engaging and insightful host. Really digs deep, without getting bogged down with minutiae. Entertaining, knowledgeable beautiful host! I am learning so much about this industry and it is so appropriate for this time. Please keep these podcasts coming. Love you, Eli.
  • Bizymom3
    Refreshing
    Eli’s discussions with some of my favorite people in the restaurant and food realm have been so entertaining. They have kept me company during a challenging time in all of our lives, and make me excited to see what is next for the restaurant industry. Thank you Eli!
  • Lexie32
    Terrific Podcast
    Honest interchanges between brilliant Chef Eli Kulp and top chefs and restaurateurs, initially in Philadelphia. Like eavesdropping on the personal conversation between dear friends. Insight into the challenges to creative chef artists at this frightening time.
