Where the food industry comes to life.

Hosted by Carl Fiadini, founder of Walk-In Talk Media, the Walk-In Talk Podcast is a B2B restaurant, foodservice and hospitality industry podcast featuring the chefs, restaurateurs, operators, manufacturers, distributors, farmers, suppliers and industry leaders shaping the business of food.
