I really enjoyed this podcast. Dan and Elle have chemistry to spare and Matteo Lane is the perfect guest, funny and very knowledgeable.
Love this podcast!
Now THAT was a great segment. I wish EVERY episode could have Elle co-hosting. She and Dan are so good together. And so glad ATK is evolving and taking risks. Can you imagine Chris Kimball doing this? Yeah, no. Keep this going! Love it! Kudos, Dan & co!
I would love to visit the Eiffel Tower with Dan and Matteo. 🙂↔️🙏
This mashup is amazing. My favorite (and extremely talented) comedian combined with my fav Editor and Chef, Dan – Elle is amazing as the food stylist – I can only imagine the conversations off camera! More of this please…
Aaaand it's going on my Christmas list
I LOVE HIM!!! What a great surprise😊
OMG!!! What a great podcast!! I want to see Dan, Elle and Matteo cook together, that would be a great episode. I have swore off buying more cookbooks BUT I think I need too order Matteo's book…..lol.
Don't give me tomato soup in a bread bowl and call it pizza. Give me a good Neapolitan pizza any day!
This makes me real happy
So glad to learn that I’m not the only person who doesn’t like linguine because it feels like an identity crisis in my mouth: it’s not wide and flat like fettuccine or tagliatelle, and it’s not round like spaghetti or bucatini. My Nonna would always moan and sigh when she’d offer me linguine and I’d remind her that “non mi piace”, even if that meant I had to go down to the basement to fetch a different shape.
Where's the cooking Was not interesting really boring
Love how Elle's travels have inspired her to entertain and share her food experiences. I've never done that and have traveled to many countries. Now I'm inspired!
This was so much fun. Just great. Five thumbs up. Dan, you did a great job as host. So good to see Elle! Can't wait for the next episode.
Absolutely spectacular. I want to see Dan and Matteo cook a pasta dish. I want to watch Elle maker her pancakes with Matteo. I had pre-ordered a signed copy of Matteo’s book, “Your Pasta Sucks,” and it arrived. Not only is it a superb cookbook, but it’s also a terrific book about food and family. I could watch this trio all day, every day. All three were fabulous.
Can we have Matteo on as a cohost on a semi regular basis.
What a fun episode!
Elle looks great. I didn't recognize her at first, but her voice sounded familiar.
I'd love to know your source for good Ceylon Dan. It's one of my favorites, but way harder to find a good source than most Chinese or Japanese teas.
I had to find the San Marzano statue!

I love this. Is this something new for ATK? I have not seen one of these before, but will for sure look for more. Elle looks great by the way, she has been one of my favorite ATK Chefs for ever.
Love it! So excited for this podcast!
I’m already a fan of Matteo and know about his cooking but this podcast is a surprise that I’m glad I clicked on. Loved it and great dialogue
Best interview…EVER!
Elle is wonderful!
I love Elle & Dan! Seeing Matteo in the test kitchen 😍what a crossover!
I can remember multiple Food Network hosts putting oil in their pasta water “to keep it from sticking.” 🙄 Testing a list of cooking-related old wives’ tales would be fun.
Such a great conversation, really looking forward to more of this podcast!
Matteo!!!!! 🎉❤
I enjoyed this very much!
I love steak. Excuse me for being too heterosexual.
Crushing it dan get more comedians tom papa makes bread!
The pasta part was interesting but, unfortunately, now I need to Google which pasta goes with which sauce. It got me thinking but left me with questions.
First episode of the pod? Dan's going Canadian Tuxedo! Denim on the top, denim on the bottom. Bold move. Respect 💯
Matteo, I have over 50 first cousins (excluding their children) and a few years ago I came up with a numbering system because I couldn't keep up with the names either. I feel you so deeply on this. Great collaboration and meeting of my two worlds…love love love this!!
Yea Elle!
Such a fun episode! Love Matteo.
Love Matteo, thanks for having him on.
This episode sucks!
What a great idea Simone had! Bring back food from your travels to share on a board with your friends. So loving.
I love Elle Simone Scott!!! She is my favorite!!! 💜
A NSFW episode of ATK?! Yes please!!
So cool to see Matteo on ATK!
👍👍😊
