America's Culinary Cup Premiere Recap: Temu Top Chef | Ep 240

from Pod Chef · host Pod Chef

Padma Lakshmi is back on our screens, and we are officially grading her new homework. We break down the series premiere and offer our highly unsolicited (but definitely correct) pitches on how to make the show even better.This week on Pod Chef, Bryan, Jamal, and Reaves step out of the Bravo universe to review the very first episode of former Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi’s new show, "America’s Culinary Cup: Spoiled for Stroganoff." We are talking the new format, the new dishes, and exactly how we would fix the competition as three comedians with absolutely zero television production experience.⏱️ EPISODE MENU00:00 - Intro, catch-up, & the usual chaos31:08 - America's Culinary Cup Recap starts: "Spoiled for Stroganoff"59:00 - Our pitches to fix the show!👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇 If you laughed, hit that Subscribe button so you never miss a Monday drop! ⭐ Rate us 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and let us know what you had for dinner last night in the review!
