John Carroll (@ohjohncarroll) drops by the studio to formally audition for Bryan’s job.  Bryan is absolutely furious about it.This week on Pod Chef, the tension is high as special guest John Carroll spends the entire episode correcting Bryan and proving why he should be the new permanent third mic. After the hostile takeover attempt (and a highly specific Wells Fargo plug), Jamal, Reaves, Bryan, and John finally get down to business. We are breaking down Bravo's Top Chef Season 23, Episode 6 ("Going Whole Hog"), dissecting the pork challenges, and predicting who is getting smoked.⏱️ EPISODE MENU00:00 - Intro & John Carroll auditions for Bryan's job10:26 - John Carroll's Wells Fargo Plug19:49 - Chef’s I’ve Prepared For You46:18 - Top Chef S23E06 Recap starts: "Going Whole Hog" breakdown👇 SUPPORT THE SHOW 👇 If you laughed (or if you are Team John), 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!
