Who we are

Renowned Las Vegas food critic John Curtas is serving you a new kind of food show — a proper food show. Co-hosted with his gastronomically-opinionated friends Sam & Ash (of billboard lawyer notoriety), this podcast is not for the faint of palate… or those who like ketchup with their steak. Just kidding (maybe).

John has been the voice of the Vegas food scene since 1995 and has eaten in more local restaurants more often than anyone ever (here’s proof). So he doesn’t have to justify his opinions.

Eat. Talk. Repeat. That’s not just the name of the show, it’s our mission statement. Sharpen your tongues as John & Associates recommend where to make reservations… and where to have reservations as you learn to eat like a critic. You never know what you’ll get with this trio of food connoisseurs, but have no doubts they’ll satisfy your appetites and always leave you coming back for seconds (and thirds).

Join them in their virtual kitchen every week to chat about all the food news you can use with some healthy sides of entertainment and culinary education. Whether you’re a chef, passionate home cook, or casual foodie, make sure to add Eat. Talk. Repeat. to your weekly listening rotation.

Bon appétit!

    Sam Mirejovsky

    Sam Mirejovsky is a man of discerning taste who puts ketchup on his steak. He has a palate that would make any foodie weep and loves to share his opinions on everything — especially food. He’s the reason why we had to put “proper” in “proper food show.”

  • Ash smiling and raising a glass of red wine in a toast with others.

    Ash Watkins

    You’ve probably seen Ash Watkins on personal injury billboards around Las Vegas. Despite being the youngest (and best-looking) member of the proper food show, Ash is the adult in the room — and the only thing keeping John and Sam from wasting a food show by talking politics.
