Restaurateurs James Ramsden and Sam Herlihy chat food and modern gastronomy amongst themselves and with other key figures from the industry. The podcast wrapped in 2020, but it's a good one to catch up on if you sometimes find the world of food just a bit confusing...5. Racist SandwichRacist Sandwich offers a slightly different perspective on food, and we’re here for it. On the podcast hosts Stephanie Kuo and Juan Diego Ramirez delve into the relationship between class, race and gender and the food industry in the US. A super interesting look at the links between food and politics. 6. Desert Island DishesThere are some dishes that just seem to stick in our memories.
