Follow Play
Website Apple Spotify YouTube
Chef/TV Personality/Author/Comedian Jeff Mauro invites you to COME ON OVER with his food-focused yet seriously funny podcast. Unlike the Jeff you've seen on Food Network (The Kitchen, Next Food Network Star, Sandwich King) you'll get to meet the REAL JEFF, who's a bit more crass but a whole lot funnier. He's joined by his little sister Emily Mauro, a former assistant to Hollywood hotshots, who attempts to keep him in check while he gives her emotional wedgies. Be prepared to laugh hard and learn even harder about food, entertaining, and how to be the coolest house on the block!MORE Producer/Network Jeff Mauro
