A great podcast not just about good food, but more importantly the great people who grow, harvest, cook, serve, and enjoy food. Host Evan Kleiman clearly loves the peoole, places, foods, and stories she features. And for people in the LA Region, there is a bit of a local focus that would be even more rewarding (I live on the opposite side of the country, and this is still one of my favorite podcasts).

Evan Kleiman is your guide to the best cooking and eating
