Food Court with Richard Blais

297

Deep dish vs. thin crust? Hamburgers vs. hot dogs? Creamy peanut butter vs. crunchy? Welcome to the high-energy, game-show-style podcast Food Court, where celebrity chef Richard Blais (Top Chef, MasterChef, etc.) presides over his guests – comedians, writers, chefs – to debate opposing viewpoints. After a trivia lightning round, each guest will argue passionately why their position is the best as well as the opportunity to explain why their opponent’s stance is The Absolute Worst. It’s comedy meets culinary and by the end of each episode, Richard Blais will act as ultimate judge to settle these timeless arguments once and for all. Who wants pineapple on their pizza, anyway?

    Where did you go!?
    Really miss this show. Got excited when the theme song came out in April. But summer is halfway over and it’s crickets! Please come back. It’s such a great go-to show for summer!
  • Booknerd336
    Just ok
    Richard is occasionally an awkward host. Prime example: he didn’t take the time before recording to learn how to pronounce Atsuko’s name

    It’s good
    But it curses to much 🤬🤬🤬🤬

    Love ❤️‍🔥
    I listen to this every night and replay all the episodes multiple times 😂 I love it so much and I wish they came out twice a week. I always tell my fam about the debates. Love to have an episode on crunchy vs smooth pb and also apple juice vs orange 🍊. My fav episode is the one with his kids and hope they do another one.

    Super Fun
    This is my favorite background noise, but I always end up paying attention to it! It’s awesome! Ps: in a late support for flat water, it is less offensive to people with sensory issues. As an autistic, fizzy water hurts my mouth. Flat water is never surprising.

    Top podcast
    Finally Back !!! My favorite podcast host, ok I like Zach as well! Although I disagree with almost all of the verdicts I find this podcast a breezy listen! When can we have a red wine versus white wine episode!

    Love the show!
    I love this show and the production is top notch!
  • GARRR456
    It ok
    It’s a pretty good podcast but they need serious help with audio mixing and they spend half of the podcast just randomly talking and only a little bit of actually debating. They should have more and more fun segments.
  • Armybailey
    Entertaining & Funny
    I love this podcast, it’s incrediably entertaining & clever!
  • fab5 of KS
    Top Chef fan
    Love this podcast as so many Contestants from Top Chef have been on. Plus all the other foodies makes it so great for me! Lots of humor, I laugh out loud so many times. I do t always agree with Richard which makes it even more fun to see who he picks.
  • Judynguyen
    Great podcast, bad guest
    I wrote this to basically say that Teresa Lee is obviously a garbage person who clearly doesn’t drink fair trade coffee. It doesn’t cost $2. Nevertheless, I enjoy the podcast.
  • grammpy p
    Kick ass
    This podcast is so cool I love when Richard pounds that gavel and says order. Of course when he retires to his chambers which is usually a small area by the kitchen is hilarious.
  • Rbloxn00b1OOtotsnotcringename
    Not the same with distancing
    I’ve been listening for a while, its great, but the meeting flows oddly, but very funny.

  • Salit Cloud
    Great podcasts for food lovers!
    This podcast is just purely fun. Wish more food network stars would be guests but this weeks episode with Troy and Justin was great! Really enjoy this.
  • DatBirdYall
    Not bad
    I like this, but it’s first world problems. I know it comes from fun, but still. Eat what you want!
  • Acampa559
    Lacks variety
    Seems Richard only pulls D list female podcast hosts. I’m surprised the doesn’t tap into his food network connections. Seems super redundant. Get some dudes and gals on to go head to head. Also if your food podcast could have great food people we love on it, it could be great. Could.....

    Love Host, but Guests...
    Too many silly up and comers that I’ve never heard of in my culinary escapades. RB is fresh, though.

  • Emily yumyum
    Light and fun
    This podcast is like the best part of Richard’s Starving for Attention podcast which is just fun stupid games with the guests. I love the banter between the guests and Richard and always come away learning something new about food.
  • Foodroadie
    Well balanced podcast
    This podcast offers a good combo of fun food facts, short guest bios, and depending on the guests, a fun debate over food. Awesome job Richard. Keep up the hard work!
  • jessbrezy
    So much fun!
    Love Richard Blais. Proud that lives in my hometown of San Diego. I’ve been following him for yearssss since top chef! This podcast was hilarious!!!!! Loved it. Love the guests. I love pineapple on pizza Crispy fries any day Ranch dressing all the way!
  • hayleyb_nyc
    What?
    I loved Richard on TC and I am a standup comedy super-nerd but I found this absolutely stupid, not funny, and out of touch. Hacky jokes, pointless premise, and the first ep I saw come out was reservations vs dropping in at restaurants... released during the pandemic when no restaurants are open for either and so many are struggling to survive. Just gave another chance and it was movie candy vs movie popcorn- heard at a time where none of us can go to the movies, and literally not a single interesting comment
  • Welcome To US Bank
    Suggestion
    I love this show! Richard Blaise is soooo funny! I do have a suggestion over something you should do. I’m really surprised that you haven’t done tea vs coffee. There’s a suggestion, love the show, keep up the good work!!
  • Yaxster
    Pretty great
    Great host and guests. However, some of the “for and against” topics are a little contrived. The guests are of variable quality but I think Richard Blais is great!
  • siakdhgegwy
    Great...mostly😕
    Food court is funny and entertaining also educational, I absolutely love it😍. If you haven’t already listened to it, it’s about a chef/judge that has 2 people come in to discuss what type of food is better. I just finished the episode about pizza🍕 and I really liked it but the reason I only gave this 4 stars⭐️ because there’s not that many great concepts, what I’m trying to say is that I don’t like the podcast ideas. Cause like why would you make a episode off Girl Scout cookies🍪? Over all this is a great podcast! Written By PENT@GON3.0 #justiceforNYpizza
  • butttttttttttttttttts
    Funny!
    The last episode made me rethink my feelings on deep dish pizza! It is an experience and I never thought of it that way.
  • Creativeactuary
    Great concept but needs more substance
    I really like Richard Blais and I was excited for this concept but this needs more chef guests and less comedian guests. I married into a family where everyone cooks, 4 of whom are CIA trained and I was envisioning this being like our family debates over food trends. Unfortunately there wasn’t any real substance to the couple of episodes that I listened to. I am leaving this review in hopes that it is read and maybe the show could pivot to have more substance because I do think this show could be great, especially with Blais as the host!
  • Fishbait2.0
    It’s nice
    Pretty good. I won’t leave a bad review
  • Mau.SL
    Order in the court!
    Just finished catching up. This podcast has been my quarantine dish washing anthem. 😂 Keep doing what you do Blais! I usually come in with my own opinion & then see if the guests can sway me. The pizza argument tho. I liked the description of a deep dish as an experience, but the comparison of a deep dish to a cheesecake slaaaayed. I disagree, your honor! #justicefornystylepizza 😂
  • Random Cook
    Shallow
    I adore Richard Blais. I follow his SM and appearances wherever he is. I thought this podcast would be educational, insightful. Instead, it is a shallow discussion from mostly comedians with no food experience. Though I have picked a few new thoughts on some of the topics judged, my mind was never changed on any of the trials. I actually disagreed with most. Give giving this more chances but am constantly disappointed. I find it a waste of podcast time.
  • The Connecticut Yankee
    Great show
    Need a better fact checker on your show the oldest pizzeria in the country is Papa’s Tomato Pie in Trenton New Jersey
  • jekguitar
    Fun!
    Very enjoyable - FYI, emphasis on humor (vs. food knowledge or cooking skills) - think comedy show.
  • Justanotherusermiya
    Laugh learn and YUMMY 😋
    Thank you for the happiness and your great personality.
  • abfjfkfksks

    Delightfully entertaining
    Very entertaining. The hosts and guests are very fantastic. It’s light hearted and fun, which is what we all need right now.
  • FO NOT GET THIS APP
    Awesome
    This is a great podcast but I wish there were more episodes!
  • ArtemioBaklava
    Every episode is great!
    New 👏 favorite 👏 show. Funny, fun, smart, engaging and super easy to listen to. Gets me and my partner into some hilarious food arguments of our own, too!

    Food Court With Richard Blais
    Love this show! Aaaaaaand now I’m hungry.
  • abeach_bum
    The food podcast we didn’t know we all needed!
    This podcast has been surprisingly hilarious! Not only will it provide examples of how to inadequately present a case before a sham judge, but it will also make you question your stance on common food differences we never really think about. It’s been interesting hearing the likes/dislikes from people in different parts of the country as well. (To clarify, In N Out fries are delicious! And so are soggy fries!) Episode 5 with Josh and Katherine is a gem that everybody should take a listen to! Please have both of them back on the show as many times as possible!
  • #queenofpigs
    So awesome
    This podcast is hilarious and great, I love it and recommend it to anyone who loves debates and food! You’re on fire Blais! Nailed it! Never let people bring you down! You are awesome!
  • Origlmarie
    Fail
    Concept is great, execution is terrible. Was giving it a chance to find its legs until the snarky political comment. That’s the last for me. Was Just expecting some light hearted fun.
  • wookiee_19
    Entertaining!
    Huge fan since Top Chef. J&I and Crack Shack are 2 of our favs in San Diego!
