Let’s set the record straight. For those that quote unquote love food, eating isn’t enough anymore. To properly call yourself a fully fledged foodie, you better be consuming all the best food podcasts also. Here’s our top ten:

House of Carbs

Brought to you by The Ringer Podcast Network, House of Carbs chronicles the appetizing adventures of one Joe House, a DC native and foodie fanatic. House is an absolute treat to listen to, and with his lineup of tantalizing guests – including Momofuku’s David Chang, and best selling author, Malcolm Gladwell – there’s no end to this show’s charm. Tune in for all kinds of food news, fun facts and flat out hilarious discussions.

Burnt Toast

Food52 is one of the internet’s most popular food blogs, and since 2015, they’ve been serving up their own original podcast: Burnt Toast. Hosted by Kenzi Wilbur, each episode explores different aspects of food culture, including the worst food in White House history and the origins of the banana peel slipping gag.

Spilled Milk

Having recently released their 300th episode (holy cow, right?), the Spilled Milk podcast is a treasure trove of side-splitting moments. Comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton take on all kinds of food-friendly topics, such as Animal Crackers, Chicken Pot Pie and Gas Station Candy. No topic is too absurd, and by episodes’s end, you’ll most likely be gasping for air.

The Eater Upsell

In the world of culinary content, Eater is king, and their podcast, The Eater Upsell, is just another notch in the belt. Hosts Helen Rosner and Greg Morabito bring on a number guests to discuss “smart talk and shameless gossip with the food world’s most interesting people.” This is fun, informative, and sure to please.

Advertised as a podcast “not for foodies, but for eaters,” The Sporkful’s Dan Pashman dives into some of the bizarre details throughout the food world. From the geometry of pizza all the way to the best food to pair at the beach, there’s no oddball topic he can’t handle. Each episode clocks in around about a half hour, resulting in one of the best-binge podcasts.
