    This podcast is great! I’ve listened to every single podcast so far. I’m totally hooked. I love the chemistry between Bretton & Zahra. I feel like I’m sitting in Zahra’s eat in kitchen just taking it all in. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟luv you I’m such a fan of this podcast. I’m really enjoying getting to know Nicole Bailey, Zahra’s new side kick. These two have a great rapport. They’re silly and soulful. Life is, a Banquet listening to these two! ✨

    Great listen
    Hey guys, my name is Leland, I work at Berkshire Mountain Bakery and I’m the guy who stopped you on the way out to ask about your podcast. Glad I did, it’s a great listen on my drive in. Keep it up and thanks for stopping in!
  • Gabohio
    Foodie Fun!!
    I love listening to Bretton & Zahra's foodie podcasts! They make the subjects so interesting and entertaining to listen to. I learn something from each episode! Can't wait to hear their newest podcast. You two are the best foodie duo:)

    Sushi
    Our family loves this podcast. Brett and Zahra are a dynamic duo! They’re both funny, witty and curious about the world of food. We enjoy hearing the histories of diverse topics from lobster to martinis to ice. For people of a certain age their banter will remind you of “Firesign Theater “.
  • GLBurd87
    Fantastic
    These two know what they’re doing. Clearly not their first rodeo, the delivery of savvy and sassy intellectual banter is a wild and welcome ride for anyone who enjoys... well, enjoying life’s pleasures! On particular display are the wonders of great food, drink, and great company- never once stopping to ask if any other topic is off limits. And, excitingly, it keeps getting better so don’t expect any slacking on content from two of Brooklyn’s finest. MORE PLEASE!!

    Table for 1
    Looking for a podcast that dissects the world of food in the most fun, analytical, and irreverent way possible..this is it. Zahra and Bretton are hilarious, as I've found myself doing actual spit takes on multiple occasions. Condiment sandwiches?! Who'd have thunk it?!
  • Bert2020
    Great Listen!
    Addicted to this podcast. Very entertaing and educational! Look forward to each broadcast!
  • NYFoodie79
    So fun!
    Love this podcast. It's a great balance between hilarious, lively conversation and really interesting food history and trivia. The hosts are funny and seem like really cool people, too. I loved Brucie and this podcast has the same energy as the restaurant: upbeat, quirky, delightfully surprising.
  • iluvstealth
    Fantastic!!
    Great podcast
  • Dunkerville
    Not original
    Haven't we heard similar content before? This is oddly the same to other podcasts. It would be ok if this was an original idea. But perhaps making it unique in some way. Dead air. Next.
  • picklerick*

  • Johnnytbone48
    So fun!!
    I really love this podcast! I feel like im right there with Bretton and Zahra! They have a really fun and lively approach to food, and being a history buff, I love each weeks story! Definitely give it a listen if you want to be in a good mood all day and have some fun facts to share with your friends!
  • Aika411
    Yum!
    Such a refreshing listen! The podcast romance between these two feels genuine and honestly, gives me a bit of FOMO. Please keep it up!
  • Shorte67
