There’s something unbelievably funny about guests turning up with chaotic energy and immediately refusing to engage properly with the dream restaurant concept. Especially when Ed is trying so hard to keep things moving while James slowly loses patience with someone explaining the emotional backstory of a piece of toast for 14 minutes.

Who talks about playing the game where you’re a football manager, and by the time they get to desert their team is in the champions league or something

I remember it was good episode! Thanks

Like chopped tomatoes or cheddar cheese

We need more chefs to appear.

Matty Matheson would be my number 1. He would be hilarious and knows his food.

I thought Bridget Christie was funny, but after a while it felt mean spirited. Fern and Phil were both awful. I thought they were barely interesting and very unfunny. I couldn't even get through them, they were so boring.

I get why they held on to Phil's so long, and I really hope it's a long time until we see more.

As it says on the tin really, have there been any interesting things said during live shows that have been cut out of the pod recording? My personal one is pretty well known but during the live show with Tim Key, he confirmed that Paradise in Hampstead was the Indian restaurant mentioned in his episode, but they cut that out of the recording.

Has been Ben ever spoken on any episode? Curious what his voice sounds like

Personally, I’m still waiting for a guest to have the guts to ask for a single slice of buttered toast and nothing else

Incredibly amused at the moment and felt the need to share.

I’m listening through the off menu back catalog at the moment, and of course current advertising bits for their current sponsors are spliced on to the beginning of all episodes. The last one for me at the moment is the St Pierre Brioche Buns.

Well I just started listening to the Teri Hatcher episode, where the secret ingredient is Brioche Buns 😂

Listening to James go directly from ‘they are great, they elevate the meal!’ to ‘they are terrible, I would rather have no bun’ has really tickled me.

Can’t wait to find the inevitable episode where Greek yoghurt is the victim 🤣 🤣 🤣

As in the series that's been filmed now.
