The Restaurant Guys is a podcast that deals with food topics. Each show has a specific topic that they address. Past topics have included BBQ, fine dining, American caviar, and even mad cow disease.
The hosts, Francis and Mark, are very likable. They do a daily radio show in the New Jersey area, and their experience with this medium is readily apparent. They are funny, engaging, and they keep the show moving along without a lot of the awkward transitions that you get from the amateur podcasts.
The topics themselves are pretty interesting. On one of the shows I listened to, the hosts talked about the differences between grilling and barbecuing. Then they discussed a huge BBQ Fair in New York City and provided interviews with some of the "pit masters" and some of the fair goers. Their website also provides many related links for each show and topic.
Overall, I think this is a fun show to listen to. You'll probably learn a lot of interesting tidbits about food from the Restaurant Guys.
