But stop saying “tell me I’m right, tell me I’m wrong every two seconds” !

I loved Restaurant Hunter and now I lookour podcast I love that they are relevant to whatever is going on at the time they are broadcast. You leave me with new insights, and perspectives as well as food for thought. Just wish I didn’t have to wait an entire week for the next one.

An important episode with an extraordinary intro. Thank you.

I have 6 podcasts that I circulate through everyday. LOVE podcasts, and for the exact reason that Rob so perfectly described in his interview with Andrew Friedman on Andrew Talks to Chefs, which is how I found out about Hot Takes on a Plate podcast! This podcast immediately became my FAVORITE! When you can relate and connect on so many levels to a person’s perspective and beliefs, who is also so thoughtful, eloquent, talented, entertaining, where you can feel their sincerity and passion and that they’re just an all-around a good person, you form a friendship that actually does feel real as opposed to virtual. And just as Rob said, the reason we listen to podcasts is so we can feel connected with friends and like we’re part of something even though we’re not actually part of it (still feel like I am). ;) Hot Takes on a Plate easily shot to the top of my podcast list! Food, travel, fun conversations, dining tips!!! What everyone needs in and out of a quarantine. And after listening to Rob’s insightful and awesome interview with Andrew maybe a dozen times I started in on all those in the backlog. SO fun!! So grateful you decided to do that podcast swap with Andrew Talks to Chefs and I’m a grateful dye-hard fan! Thanks for being so awesome Rob. -#1 fan, Haley

Rob’s podcast is both fun and informative! It’s like listening to your good friends chat and debate the best ___________ (fill in the blank - with food to eat at...or way to eat a ...) Rob’s pleasant, friendly demeanor and knowledge shine through!

I was actually able to visualize during the podcast. I was thinking that would go missing. Keep up the good work. I have followed your work for years.

Loved the first podcast Rob! I’m snowed in right now in Montreal, flight canceled so I’m ordering fries in honor of your “wake up call” - so happy you are still with us!!

As a fan of Rob’s from TV and social media, I was excited for his new podcast and it didn’t disappoint!

As a cord-cutter, I didn’t have great access to Restaurant Hunters after many years of watching it. Having Rob’s thoughts on food again in this new way is very cool. Length is perfect—all the 60+ minute pods are so daunting. Looking forward to the rest. Side note: loved when things veered into the ethical side of food production and consumption. I know that’s not your purpose with this but the occasional deep dive on that topic as a bonus pod would be awesome.

I can’t wait to listen to this podcast. Rob’s Instagram already makes me hungry. This podcast is going to make me obese.
