    The best
    I love it
  • Matt Rodbard
    LA comes alive
    I’m way down to hang about with these dudes each week. The spicy scene reports are appreciated, the kid/candy dramas are a welcome plot point, and the stories aren’t overcooked. They call it doing the work. Hit the sub!

    The latest thanksgiving episode literally had me howling. Naughty headband salesman on the beach in Cabo in front of Jordan’s small child. I am deceased 💀 Thank you for a good laugh as always

    Favorite podcast
    Absolutely love this podcast. The banter between Max and Jordan is chef’s kiss. They’re funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable. Highlight of my week.
  • Mimi Gold20
    Look forward to it
    Look forward to this pod every Friday! The second it comes out I listen. If you live in LA and care about the food world…this is a must listen.
  • Bunkette
    Love the pod!
    Best listen of my week.
  • JustineVictoria
    Love this Podcast
    I love this podcast and look forward to every new episode. Jordan is hilarious, honest, and entertaining. Also, he has the best restaurant recommendations in LA. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is a foodie or wants to learn more about the food scene!
  • assistboy1
    tasty content…
    THE best intro/outro music in the pod game. jordan keeps a good pace with his interview style and easy banter. i’m not a jew or a goy (sp), but am getting interesting insights. hoping the show will be video taped for youtube viewing. eating on screen will take air jordan to new heights
  • leepaola
    Best Music
    Intro & outro music best in the biz. Sexiest voice. Food commentary Jonathan Gold level.

    Best on the food scene in LA.
  • GaymerChic
    Jordan is the best
    What a voice! Love this podcast. Never miss it. I was never into podcasts but this one I never miss. Working my way backwards so I can make sure I haven’t missed an episode.
  • Yasiel Puig
    For the west side elite
    Can’t wait to hear about Max’s five figure trip to Noma, but not before some unnecessary wait staff slander and mom and pop shop hate. Talk about a jabroni this max guy. It’s on sight pal.
  • brocean
    For a specific type of diner/listener
    If you’re a mama’s boy, hob-knobbing with Richards type and have a one-term vision of what Los Angeles is in food then this is the show for you! Disgusting.
  • SBashirian
    An absolute top notch food lovers podcast!
    Jordan’s podcast is definitely a must listen for me when I’m sitting in LA traffic. He’s knowledgeable but also just super fun to listen to. He keeps it real and honest and that’s what sets him apart.
  • Sshapiro1
    Review of Jordan and max
    Jordan and max are a great team. Jordan loves to eat and Max is a world class expert on the knowledge of all things food and his critiques are spot on
  • jschulze72
    Weekly listen
    Along with The Dave Chang Show, this is my weekly listen for food knowledge and laughs. Really enjoy the episodes with Jordan and Max...they make a great team. Great insight into the LA food scene and because of this podcast I’m trying to get a reservation at Horses when we come to LA in March 😆
  • joshleibo
    Great show
    Max Shapiro for LA Times food critic
  • Hubestar
    Great pod
    Great pod for the LA food scene. Any foodie should subscribe to this. Despite Jordan’s sometimes quirky tastes (eg dislike for mushrooms), this pod is highly educational and I feel has improved over the years. Please don’t spend more episodes on places like Dan Tanas. Introduce us to more great places like Mariscos Jalisco and Matu. Keep up the good work, Jordan and Max!
  • Simon Mashian
    Love this Podcast!
    Just got on this podcast- now subscribed! Keep up the great work!

    Cake episode
    Seriously?No mention of Porto’s? Their tres leche cake is far superior to all others. Valerie’s should have rated higher on the list
  • Jenny Fritz
    Thanks Jordan!
    After a hiatus from the podcast, I just listened to your Alice Waters episode and I’m so glad I did! Excellent conversation. As always you allowed your guest to expound on her POV on food, how we consume it and the choices she’s made along her incredible culinary journey. I learned a lot, enjoyed the listen and, of course, got hungry! #nomicrowave #stovepopcorn

    delicious any way you look at it. keep going.
  • Illini_Zeus
    Yes!
    Great pace, great conversation, great food (talk)!
  • audibully
    Disorientingly good.
    It’s more fine-grain than I actually thought possible for a super-compelling food podcast. But going thru menus item-by-item with interesting chefs and a host whose knowledge is rivaled by his approachability...... IMHO it makes for the best podcast out there right now. Do you need to know about LA food scene? Probably helps. But somewhat optional. Am I saying that Mr. Okun can help fill the void created by Jonathan Gold’s passing? Look, for everyone, it’s different. And what is so cool here is that Okun is doing things his own unique way... But news is tough these days, and this podcast helps me with some voids.
  • Film Prodigy
    A New Jew Rises
    5 stars even though that episode where you ate a day old sandwich on mic with Evan Fox was disgusting.

    Best LA Food Podcast
    I’ve been listening to Air Jordon now for awhile the show has great energy and very entertaining guest. If you want to know where and what to eat in LA listen and learn.

    The best Food Podcast out there
    I wake up every Thursday looking for Air Jordan and when I see it in my subscribed pods list I scream “THERE IT IS!” There is no better way to start your day.
  • Masha*K
    Jerry and Jordan, what a combo.
    Loved listening to the founder of all my LA happy places open up to Jordan. Great job on telling the story of SugarFish, Kazunori, HiHo and Uovo. I’m hungry now.
  • MarilynneLAPR
    Great Storyteller!
    Favotie episode so far is the SUGARFISH, HiHo and UOVO with Jerry Greenberg episode! You have a true gift for storytelling and are so talented, your questions were so interesting and go to the core of who Jerry is while also telling the story of each restaurant!
  • jolefemme62
    LA FOODIE PARADISE
    Very truly honest & super interesting food speak found here.. i found this by visiting Howlin Rays.. for the umpteenth time & they ( Mario ) told my Chef Johnny was doing this podcast .. so i have been listening ever since! GREAT INTERVIEWS👨🏿‍🍳👩🏾‍🍳
  • ponoandpiha
    This podcast is very BUENO!
    If you live in Los Angeles or simply enjoy GREAT food opinions, listening to Air Jordan before his inevitable crease and desist is an ABSOLUTE MUST. @ponoandpiha
  • IG: yungcocoabutter
    Air Jordan: Fun for the whole family
    If the eloquent guest intros, 🔥 food takes and in depth interviews weren’t enough, I copped a pint of Salt & straw for my mom off the strength of Air Jordan’s propaganda campaign and she polished it off in a single evening. She salutes the pod too. @yungcococoabutter
  • amp72303
    Listen to it
    My girlfriend is annoyed w how much I talk about my new friend Jordan and his podcast, but since she’s from LA and I told her about the Eduardo’s (and she loves Eduardo’s) episode I’ve bought a few more weeks talking about my new friend Jordan and his podcast. @ampalex
  • 1 Live Jew
    (Hans Landa voice)
    That’s a BUENO!
  • Kevin Noparvar
    Air. Jordan.
    I always thought food content was meant to be absorbed with eyes and tastebuds, but Jordan’s podcast is so well executed that it completely changed that perspective. You’re not listening to a scripted radio talk show that gets dull after the first minute or two, you are just a fly on the wall listening to the conversations you want to listen to and wouldn’t be able to hear otherwise. 5 stars all the way.
  • @alphaindian
    Air Jordan
    Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman, Jordan is up to something. 5 stars. @alphaindian.
  • Daniel Zor
    The Howlin’ Ray’s Episode was BUENO
    Great episode with guest Johnny Ray Zone (owner and chef of Howlin’ Ray’s). Talks about how he got started in the cooking world and his love for Nashville HOT Chicken. Howlin’ Ray’s is the best fried chicken restaurant in Los Angeles for a reason. A lot of thought and love went into the making of Howlin’ Ray’s thanks to owners Johnny and Amanda. Some new announcements in this episode I don’t want to spoil so you can take a listen for yourself. If you live in Los Angeles and still haven’t had Howlin’ Ray’s you need to rethink your life decisions.
  • yesssboyyy
    Better than a loaded baked potato
    Do you like shrimp, Los Angeles, and Jews? If so, you’d be crazy not to tune in to this podcast. This low-mid level food guy consistently delivers mid-high level entertainment.
  • Benny efff
    thats a mf’ing bueno
    while the podcast is almost always white and male its mostly good so you should give it a listen and love food and LA
  • passionate man w solid taste
    Local pride and insight with fun and flavor
    If you took Jonathan Gold’s love for his city, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s love of language, Orson Welles’ love for food, mixed them all together, and then took Orel Hersheiser’s hat and put it on top like the cherry on a Salt & Straw sundae, you’d have Jordan Okun. Love this show!
