Dish Podcast
A weekly dinner party where a broadcaster and a Michelin-starred chef cook for and chat with a celebrity guest.
A cleverly structured piece of content marketing for the Waitrose supermarket brand, disguised as a celebrity chat show. The format places a professional chef (Hartnett) and a seasoned broadcaster (Grimshaw) in a kitchen to host a different famous face each week. While the conversation is relaxed and often humorous, the food and its preparation are central, with recipes and wine pairings explicitly linked back to the sponsor.
“The show's defining feature is its host pairing: a celebrated chef who genuinely cooks for the guest, and a professional interviewer who steers the conversation. Unlike many food podcasts, this one is built around the tangible act of preparing and sharing a meal, making it a hybrid cooking and interview show with seamless brand integration.”
