Top Chef Frotcast Post-Show, S1E9 with Joey Avery (Patreon)

This week on the Top Chef Frotcast Post-Show, our old pal (and Top Chef virgin) comedian Joey Avery is joining us on the cast. We're talking Top Chef season one, episode nine, "Napa's Finest," in which the final four chefs (Harold, Lee Anne, Tiffani, and Dave) get trimmed to three before the finale in Las Vegas. First the chefs competed to see who could elevate junk food classics, and then they packed off to Napa to try to pair fancy truffles with fancy wine -- a challenge that seemed like a giant F-you to Stephen, specifically, who would've killed to be a part of this, but kicked off last episode. Meanwhile, Lee Anne seems to really hate Tiffani, which didn't seem to be a storyline before this episode? Fun!

Joey, Joey, and I Monday Morning Quarterback the dishes, reminisce about the hottest food trends of 2006, and play overhated/underhated, in which we name which food/restaurant trends that get hated unfairly, and which ones don't get hated enough. That's right, we're coming for you, hot chicken.

Don't forget to checkout Roundball Rock, The Joey Show, Joey Avery on tour, but ESPECIALLY our sponsor, BlackwoodDistilling. In fact, here's a drink recipe for all the good piggies:
