The Go To Food Podcast

An Italian Odyssey, Rumours & Behind-the-Scenes Chaos

The Go To Food Podcast

Show Notes

Welcome to a special edition of Go-To Food where Freddy and Ben ditch the guest and get into the industry gossip, rumours and behind-the-scenes stories that normally don’t make it onto the podcast. From the guests we’ve chased for years, the interviews that nearly never happened, awkward encounters with some very famous chefs and what really goes on before and after the microphones are switched on, we’re spilling a few stories from behind the curtain. We also get into the chaos of actually making Go-To Food — the shoots that have gone wrong, unexpected moments with guests, the things people have said off-air, restaurant-world whispers and some of the more ridiculous situations the podcast has landed us in over the last few years. Plus, who’s been brilliant, who’s been elusive, who we’re still desperate to get on and a few bits of gossip we probably should have kept to ourselves.
