    No more Chef Plum….
    UPDATE: The my dropped Chef Plum… too bad they just lost a listener. Now it's gone too "woke", and i'm a Dem...🤷🏻‍♂️ i'm not a foodie, but this podcast really brings a different dimension to food and the food culture here in Connecticut. Chef Plum is the reason why i listen. Never heard of him until now, he's great and knowledgeable. And fun to listen too. Gives me faith that there ARE great places to eat here other than boring, lame italian food (which i do love)
  • Anonymous Koala 123

  • JackiePat

  • Chef Bilotti
    Refreshing Show!
    I tune in to Chef Plums Podcast all the time and now he is on the radio! Can’t get enough of this guy!
  • GrillinGirl
    Love the new concept!
    It’s always a pleasure to hear Chef Plum’s voice and with Marysol they make a great team. I look forward to hearing more about the CT restaurant scene and events around the state.
  • Michelle @ South on Bostwick
    “Seasoned” to perfection.
    I’d like to thank Chef Plum and Marysol Castro for allowing me to participate in this wonderful show. Huge thanks for their time and dedication to a show that will profile ALL restauranteurs & restaurants throughout Connecticut. Restaurant owners are regular people too, and during the Covid-19 pandemic our communities need to come together and show their support! Shows like this will allow foodies throughout our State to get a glimpse of the hard work, dedication and passion we have for our foods that are well enjoyed by our valued customers. Continued success to many seasons of “Seasoned!” Looking forward to many, many more episodes! Best wishes, Michelle.
