  • I'm not that impressed
    Walk-In Talk Podcast is fun but serious
    I’m Carl Fiadini, host of the show. I just wanted to say that working with John Hernandez and all of the amazing Chefs on the podcast is really special. John’s a spectacular food photographer and our extended network of food professionals and foodies are amazing! It’s a creative outlet for me personally and we’re blessed to be doing as well as we are. So for all of you supporters, who chose to leave a review, thank you so very kindly! It really makes the time and energy it takes to do this, worth it. Thank you and Eat Happy! Carl

  • Jillylivinlife
    Truly informative and unexpected
    Learned so much from Kylie’s chat with you guys on the show, and loved the recap of Farmer’s Craveable. Show is funny and doesn’t get slogged down or feel diminished by a lack of genuine conversation. Can’t wait to see more from you!

    Great Podcast
    Love the chemistry, and the conversation. As a chef, finding a good food podcast is near impossible. About as rare as a good restaurant. But, I’m really enjoying this one. I’ve listened to about 12 episodes, looking forward to more.

    Incredible chefs
    This podcast is full of life and the cutting edge food trends. The two incredible men who do this podcast have their hearts and souls dug in to the issue of mental health with the food industry that people don’t want to talk about but is so important. They inspire us to cook more and keep us going forward eating well and supporting local farmers who are the heartbeat of this industry. Thank you so much for what you do.

    The Best of The Best!
    I meet Carl through Facebook last year! We filmed of episode of Walk In Talk together. Him and his crew drove from Tampa to Jupiter. I was a bit nervous as I always am to be filmed. But once Carl started asking the questions it all just flowed so easily. They made me feel so comfortable and I had a blast filming the episode. Honestly one of the only people who are putting a microscope lens on the hospitality industry! It’s nice to see!

    The most honest hospitality content, created by people in the industry. I’m a chef in Orlando and I’ve not just been following along but have been lucky enough to work with their team! Super cool people, who have love for the game. Can’t wait to see this channel blow up!

    Love these guys!
    We did a few shows with them about a year ago at our restaurant on st Pete beach. They truly have a passion for the business and watching it grow and evolve. We had the best time filming with them and have continued to keep in touch. Carl is the “guy fieri” of Florida. If you have a business in the hospitality industry, you should definitely contact them!
  • CountryBreakfast80
    Real talk. Not fluff.
    Best industry podcast out there. Not a couple douches with microphones filming themselves with iPhones on TikTok and calling it a podcast. This is a REAL podcast with REAL content. Not many people know the industry better than Carl & his team. As a 20+ year kitchen veteran, I say, you cannot get more informative or factual. Well done, gents.
  • ChefChrisTanner
    Exciting and different perspectives on food
    Engagaing, thoughtful and downright mouthwatering content that wants you to come back and hear more. Food is nothing without the people and the culture and these guys bring the full perspective and it’s fun and exciting to listen to as well.

    Finally the real deal
    If you’re interested in the true side of the food industry and trials/tribulations of top chefs in the business this is for you! Carl and his team are bringing information that everyone should hear. A look into our favorite places to dine and what it actually takes to get the food on the table! I was lucky enough to see the origins of walk-in talk and how it’s progressed. I myself being in the business highly recommended you take a listen.
  • Chef Win
    Culinarians need to listen to this
    I came across this podcast during the American Culinary Federation’s national election process. Their interviews of all the candidates were tough, fair, and they asked really good questions. I got hooked and really enjoy the education they give from years of experience in the business, the thoughtfulness of their questions, and their passion for the business. Can’t wait for the next episode.
