Eat. Talk. Repeat.

Renowned Las Vegas food critic John Curtas is serving you a new kind of food show — a proper food show. Co-hosted with his gastronomically-opinionated friends, Sam & Ash (of billboard lawyer notoriety), this podcast is not for the faint of palate. John has been the voice of the Vegas food scene since 1995 and has eaten in more local restaurants more often than anyone ever. So he doesn't have to justify his opinions. Sharpen your tongues as John & Associates recommend where to make reservations... and where to have reservations as you learn to eat like a critic. Bon appétit!
