A podcast about food and the people it connects.

Food is more than fuel.

Food is a bond that holds people together. It shapes relationships, cultures, and life itself. The main ingredients of this podcast gumbo are lively conversation and thought-provoking guests, with a generous sprinkling of humor and a dash of irreverence.  Hosts Joel Nepa and Wal Ozello, along with our producer Tom Clemens, introduce you to food industry experts, entrepreneurs, and everyday people with personal stories and unique insights. This podcast is for everyone–from hardcore foodies to people who just want to lose themselves in a great story. Each episode is like a memorable meal with close friends and fascinating new acquaintances. Pull up a chair and join us at the table!
