Guys these guests you've had on recently have been immensely entertaining and insightful, because they all bring their own ethos, philosophy, and experiences with them. Of course you can't have such high-profile guests like Jacques or Cesare on every week, but I think you're doing a fantastic job with the interviews, so looking forward to future guests!

[@Ardokaath]

When you can barely understand an Italian chef, you know his food is legit. Same when there's just one chef in the back of a Chinese restaurant, who's moving the wok spoon with one hand, smoking a cigarette with the other, while cursing under his breath the whole time. 😂

[@blankfrankie3747]

I love how at 14:23, all 3 people in that room became Italian for a few moments. 😆

[@SYWGFpodcast]

😂

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Cesare should have had a better chair and proper beverage. True royalty 👍🏼🇺🇸🍖🍷

[@eloquentsarcasm]

Any time you get masters in a particular field from around the world, sitting and talking, roasting and shit-talking is inevitable. That interaction, with the underlying respect for each other's skill, is pure gold. Those guys will talk smack, but then sit and figure out the best dishes/creations to prove their point, and everyone will end up better for it as they all learn from each other and improve. Stuff like this is how innovation comes about, and deep, mutual respect is born.

[@otakuraver19]

Watching a French chef and an Intalian chef talk sh*t about each other takes me back to my last kitchen job lol xD love the chemistry between them =3

[@joshscott6914]

CHEFS I LOST SOME WEIGHT BUT AM STILL FAT DON'T WORRY

[@TheHaubs11tx]

I love this guy I need more of this from all over the world. This was beautiful and I know that probably sounds stupid to some other people, but it was gorgeous to listen to this man speak about his experience. I love it.

[@flarica64]

I really enjoyed this podcast. 😃You guys make me laugh and as a former Floridian who moved here 12 years ago, I love listening to how things were here in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.🥰

[@th3cub350]

Can't wait to listen to all your usual silliness and put a smile on my face

[@SYWGFpodcast]

❤️

[@whiteninja345]

Yo for real men like this get overshadowed very quickly by some new upstart (which not to say is a bad thing by anymeans) however men like this setup the foundation for what we know about certain Cuisines to this day such a great episode keep it up guys!

[@donnadee1966]

This was a delightful episode. Chef Cesare is amazing, and the center he directs sounds like such a wonderful endeavor. Really enjoyed this one... BTW Riffing on your poster- had a similar one: Visualize whirled peas. Stop the violins.... regards from a foodie in Eaton's Neck, NY!

[@segreen1046]

Traveling through Ireland with my father (where he lived), we went to a small town on the Antrim coast, tried to get a lobster. One of the servers called her uncle (a fishmonger) and he said all the best were being sent to France and he didn't have any that day to spare. Ahh, good times! Had the best fish chowder I'd ever had in a littlest pub in Northern Ireland, Mary McBride's. Isn't it great when local ingredients get used? There is nothing better than simplicity! By meaning the littlest pub is it literally had one booth, there was a garden area but that booth was it. I heard at the time that one of the Gallagher brothers (from Oasis) was trying to buy it.

[@flarica64]

Thanks!😍

[@franciscoromo7512]

Never noticed the Homer/Frenchie choking Bart/Brian 😂

[@theempirebruh9697]

I work overnights, so I will watch this tonight. But I just wanted to catch the comments while it just dropped. Said this last episode, "they made SYWGF, but saw themselves and said 'oh fuck, we gotta get skinny'" 😂

[@ChelleLockHeart]

This was a great episode! Looking forward to future guests you'll have on. It's so cool to hear them go over everything and their perspective. Thank you for doing this!

[@SYWGFpodcast]

[@moira329]

When Frenchy said his mom would sell him to the other chefs, my mind went into a different direction until he mentioned Deer.

[@samuelyo1681]

Peas on Earth.... (for Frenchy)

[@MartiniGTGP]

French french, fren fren a frenchie, watch out for that pea! (George of the Jungle parady)

[@AlanACarlson]

You can tell Cesare has been in America for awhile because he doesn't talk with his hands as much as Italians in Italy.

[@MartiniGTGP]

Freaking love you Chef Brian! Give the lovable Frenchie some love for me 😅😂❤

[@SYWGFpodcast]

❤️

[@bekamegre]

Come on Chef Brian, that was so good moment for Joe Mama Joke

[@anetteandersson2778]

❤😊

[@kogrio4290]

Frenchie needs to work more on his french accent to look more french, god the Italian accent on chef Casella makes him sound so professional😂

[@SYWGFpodcast]

😂😂😂

[@carlos_herrera]

Nice, this is some podcast shit

[@langjie7281]

need the booze

[@TheHaubs11tx]

So let me get this straight. He’s in charge of DNA so chef are in charge of blood evidence like Doxy rho nucleic acid I mean it makes sense because they work with animals I just thought maybe we would have forensic scientist doing it that’s very confusing to me, but you know, whatever it brings a big full the chef show vibe maybe Hannibal Lecter could be the first guest and if you’re gonna talk crap it was a joke. It’s clearly a joke, so go ahead and troll from your mom’s basement. Do you guys are awesome
