    Real Industry Talk
    This is the best industry show I’ve discovered so far. Justin is a working chef and gets what our world is all about. He covers stories from the dining world and geeks out over knives and cooking tools. There’s a lot of valuable information to be found by listening. If you’re a professional cook you should be subscribing.
