    Great Podcast
    I enjoyed this podcast. It certainly had a New York focus as one reviewer mentioned, but I liked the journalistic approach to food. Definitely enjoyable for food-lovers.

    Love them!
    Can't wait for this podcast to come back! I miss these two and listening to them on my morning commute. It's very informative and takes experts from both sides to examine the food at hand.

    I Love These two together
    I have been a long time listener to The Sporkful. This is a great follow up to that podcast with a lot more content. These two hosts should either do more of these or do a podcast on food together.

    Tri-tip Steak Edition
    I appreciate that although Laura is a vegetarian, she approached this episode with as much enthusiasm as the previous episodes. Too bad Dan didn't handle it with as much grace. :-). I don't subscribe to a lot of podcasts because I like podcasts that teach me something about the world we live it. This podcast does just that. Great show guys! - 03/24/13 This was a great podcast. I'm sorry that it was short lived. - 06/23/13

    Interesting podcast!
    I enjoy this podcast and the way they look into where certain foods come from. My only gripe is Dan constantly mentioning that Laura is a vegetarian. I'm a vegetarian as well and I hate when someone else mentions it in situations where it's not relevant. Like the queso episode? She's not vegan so why was the vegetarian thing brought up?

    Great addition to slate!
    Love this new podcast! A perfect combo of informative, entertaining, fun and thoughtful. I love the structure of it -- with two different interviews followed by their cooking experience. I look forward to more!

    Informative and Fun - Take it for what it is
    I came from to this podcast as a Sporkful fan who sometimes finds Dan's gleeful fixation on minutiae a little exhausting. Table to Farm is, in my opinion, even more enjoyable, moderated by Laura's journalist's approach. You get to indulge in all a food-lover's enthusiasm and learn from knowledgeable guests. Take it for what it is. It's not investigative journalism. From the two episodes I've listened to (Apple Crisp and Frittata), it's clear that the hosts have a bias toward local, lovingly grown and prepared food, but this bias nonetheless allows for a delightful and informative show.

    Great new Podcast
    This podcast helps open views eyes on something we should all be more aware of...how your food gets to your table. I look forward to next podcast.

    Horrible Podcast
    This is a horrible podcast and should be stopped immediately. I am a fan of Slate, but the quality of this podcast makes me doubt the integrity of all other Slate pieces. In no other Slate work would an author be allowed to fawningly interview a single expert without examining other sides — or even asking moderately tough questions. Also, the podcast may actually have to leave the New York City area to examine the issue of food production and demand. Another lazy journalism habit that would never be allowed in other Slate works.
