Food meets comedy this week as we have comedian and Great British Menu judge Phil Wang joining us! Born and raised in Malaysia, Phil is now a local south London resident and he took a break from judging Michelin star chefs to join us for lunch. A real foodie, we heard all about the delicious dishes Phil ate growing up in Asia, his thoughts on a Yorkshire pudding & chip shop curry sauce, the ‘Slurpies’ awards he created on Twitter (rating the best noodle spots), his go to ice breaker of ranking favourite carbs, how he navigated moving from engineering to comedy and we discover Phil will eat absolutely anything in the world - yet refuses to eat cooked salmon! Thank you for joining us for Phil, good luck on the tour! Phil’s brand new comedy tour ‘Uh Oh’ will be travelling across the UK from September-November 2026.

Imagine a backyard tradition- Okay ... a sun-drenched afternoon, a massive vat of bubbling oil, and a man named Big Dave wearing goggles.
Phil Wang· Guest0:14
It's a lot of effort for a bird.
Ed Gamble and James Acaster0:16
Well, what if I told you that Boar's Head has brought that exact backyard tradition right to the deli counter?
Phil Wang· Guest0:23
Well, I'd say, James, you've finally lost it.
Ed Gamble and James Acaster0:25
Boar's Head brings to the deli the taste of deep-fried turkey. It's all the seasoning and that golden-fried glory of the fryer's turkey breast, but without Big Dave having to set up a perimeter in your garden.
Phil Wang· Guest0:38
Oh, man, that sounds genuinely incredible.
Ed Gamble and James Acaster0:40

Phil Wang· Guest0:42
