RHOOODAAAA OMG y'all are so iconic

[LostEveryMarble]

My heart grew three sizes when Rhoda walked in!!!❤❤❤

[rhettacosta]

Jesse was so cool! What a gentle giant. Clearly so passionate and thoughtful, soft spoken too. He knows his craft very well. I’d love to see him again!!

[guillolupi]

Rhoda being Culinary Director gives me so much joy!!!! What a treat to have the quick feature.

Shout out to you both from Czech Republic! Thanks for showing little bit of our culture. I especially appreciate the effort of writing down the correct spelling of "koláč" and "klobásník". Claire, I am fan of yours for so many years, you literary saved me during quarantine. Sending love and wish you all the best <3

[LostEveryMarble]

I like how Jesse blushes when you start talking about how great his restaurant is ❤

[Fillmore]

A lot of the time, the 'Farm to Table' or 'Field to Table' moniker is a sales pitch as much as it is a culinary approach, but Jesse Griffiths is the real deal. His knowledge of the plants and animals that he cooks with, from their environment/habitat, their lifecycle, their biology, comes through in his cooking, the books he writes, and when we get to see him in videos like this... Really, who else has ever sounded that passionate about a persimmon? Thanks for having him on! (Now I'm off to go find a disappointing Kolache in Phoenix and think up an excuse to get back to Austin soon.))

I don’t know anything about this guy but exceptional vibes coming off of him

[Heyitspatrick]

I love that she came back bigger and better this year! Dessert person is soaring to new highs. Hats off to the producers and everyone who manages to bring this all together you guys are brilliant!

WE ARE SO BACK!!! Missed you Claire! 🥰🍞🌶️

[vcross]

Jesse is one of the absolute best. If you're in Austin, TX, I strongly recommend checking out Dai Due.

[jenniferriley]

Dai dui is such an incredible restaurant. I worked as a cook in Austin for years and that place was a constant stop for me and other cooks on days off. Solid food, great people. They absolutely understand the dynamic of fine, local cuisine.

I love Claire with other chefs. She never talks over them… you can see her get more excited for certain people so she’ll be chatty, but it never becomes a competition to talk.

I also like her curiosity because she asks the questions I would 😂

[boho_sol]

From TX here- I usually stop in West at the Czech Stop on my way between Austin & Dallas or vice versa. So the part about getting these at gas stations is true 😊

[ashleyclark]

So glad to see a Kolache episode! I lived in Texas most of my life and Slovacek's was the place/gas station, I got my kolaches when driving to Austin from Dallas! Can't wait to watch the other videos!

[ArgentAbendAzure]

Hi there Rhoda! 😍
Nice to see her on the set.
Hope you had a great time in Austin, Claire.
You came during the cold snap.

[marektoth]

This feels nice to see! When I saw the title, I had a sneaky suspicion it's gonna be Czecho-Slovak (as someone who was born and still lives in Slovakia, and having had these regularly, this just feels good to see and to know Texas is keeping the mid-European tradition going from over the ocean).
