Slice & Torte Uncut Podcast

This week we read each other for *filth* over whether beans belong in chili (they do), stan for some insanely creative sausages, and discuss coffee as it relates to hustle culture. As always we have some stunning instacrushes as well as all the things we love, hate, and ate. Available on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts now!

This week we have a spectacular episode for y’all. We have a heartfelt discussion on the women that shape our culinary identities plus we’re debuting a new segment: Try It or Toss It. Sherród runs down his kitchenware shopping spree and then dives deep into Mashama Bailey’s Chef’s Table episode. Danielle has some outstanding hot topics including the first black winemakers served on an airline; and spills all the tea on so-called superfoods. And of course we have some insanely great instacrushes as well as all the things we love, hate, and ate.

This week we have a fun Valentine’s Day Q&A, and we’re talking about Chicken & Waffles Cereal, eugenics and weight loss, our super suspect FDA, and what *not* to do on Top Chef. Danielle runs down her cursed baking last week and Sherród will have y’all drooling over his leftover makeover. As always we have wonderful instacrushes and lots of things we love, hate, and ate.

Hello 2019! We’re back and we’ve got some things to say. We’re talking about gravy candles, tokenism in the food industry, climate change, and gender reveal…lasagna. Danielle is finally vindicated in this robot nonsense, and Sherród whines about organizing his cookbooks. And boy do we have some stunning instacrushes this week along with all the great food we loved, hated and ate — including the stellar TANOSHi dinner by @hashichow and @enjoynfk.
