Thanks for listening to our podcast!
We – Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich – invite the people we most admire from the food world to come over and chat. Cooks, waiters, writers, drinkers, thinkers: we have a glass of wine, something to eat and they tell us the story of making a life in food. The conversations are then released as a podcast, a good thing to listen to while you’re cooking your dinner.
