Ep 2: Grace Dent

Plosive
About this episode

Ordering their dream menu this week is the Guardian's restaurant critic Grace Dent, so the pressure's really on for the genie waiter. The food writer talks to Ed Gamble and James Acaster about the tastiest things she's ever eaten, how the other half dine and what the chef really means when they say they're 'playful'.


Recorded and edited by Ben Williams for Plosive Productions.
