Nathan Mattise, Features Editor Cocaine and Rhinestonesīut get a load of that guy's last name: Coe. (Season two just started, so queue up Top Chef Kentucky and listen in the day after.) And if you're the kind of person who prefers playoffs over pastries, naturally, these hosts have even devised a fantasy Top Chef format with an easy to follow play-along-at-home scoring system.

They recap seasons in progress, episode by episode, sharing insights on cuisine right next to historical statistics on the show (did you know elimination-challenge winners in episode one win the entire season 43 percent of the time?!).Įliminated chefs come on to dish about the process, and Arnovitz and Haberstroh study the tapes (past seasons, online-only episodes of Top Chef spin-off Last Chance Kitchen) to provide listeners with the same informed perspective on faro as they'd offer on free agency. The two analytics-focused journalists combine their detail-driven methods with a love of food and apply it to the culmination of "culinary" and "competition:" Top Chef. Arnovitz and Haberstroh's new podcast, Pack Your Knives, logically builds off this trend. Quietly, these two areas have become increasingly intertwined in recent years ( JJ Redick shows up in Bon Appetit, San Antonio team dinners have become the stuff of legend, and players obsess over everything from PB&J to wine). Near the top of my theoretical guest list would be NBA writers Tom Haberstroh and Kevin Arnovitz, because they share a deep interest in two of my favorite topics: basketball and food. (Think beloved Avenger Jeremy Renner's real estate hobby or author Haruki Murakami on running.) talk about something other than what they've become known for. One of my favorites would be called something like "Side Hustle," "Downtime," or "OPP (Other People's Passions)"-essentially, I love hearing people I find smart, engaging, funny, etc. Like anyone who has ever started a podcast, I now constantly have half-baked ideas for other podcasts.
