Pot Luck Food Talks

After 15 years of working in some of the best restaurants in the world, Chefs Phil & Eric have a lot of stories to tell and things to set straight!

Put Luck Food Talks are unfiltered, unapologetic conversations about food, the crazy stories inside Michelin Star kitchens, and anything involving the search for the most delicious dishes.

With these two experienced chefs, you’ll discover some of the best places to eat, how to apply professional techniques at home and just some good old fashioned real talk amongst food-obsessed friends.

In this episode, Phil and Eric kick off with a debate on the nature of competition in the kitchen, exploring how it shapes chefs and pushes them to the edge. But the conversation takes a delicious turn as they dive into breakfast—one of the most beloved meals around the globe. From classic American pancakes to the hearty full English, or a simple croissant in Paris, they explore the endless variations of breakfast and what they reveal about culture. It’s a fun mix of rivalry, reflection, and rich morning flavors, where competition meets the comforts of the world’s first meal.
