Destination Eat Drink on Radio Misfits is a travel show with its priorities in the right order: first the food, then the map. Brent Peterson builds each episode around a city, region, or edible theme, then lets knowledgeable guests point toward the dishes, drinks, markets, and neighborhoods that make the place memorable. The show is practical without feeling like a checklist. It has appetite. Episodes move from Columbus, Ohio, to Oslo, Norway, from Galway to Kyoto, from the Black Forest to Rome. Along the way, the conversations make room for Algerian pastries, Columbus-style pizza, Norwegian coffee habits, Pakistani Indian food in Oslo, and a firewater called aquavit. Pizza gets treated as history as much as lunch, with Naples, New York, Chicago, and Campania all in the frame. Rome is not reduced to familiar postcard dishes; Katie Parla brings in fried Jewish cuisine, neo trattorias, rice balls, and the city’s grittier recent past. Kyoto becomes a discussion of tea houses, geisha culture, pickled tea leaves, plum wine, and the craft behind high-end sake. Galway brings oysters, stout, pub recommendations, whiskey pairings, and the energy of a city between County Clare and Connemara. South Carolina and Alabama arrive through hush puppies, barbecue, meat and three, beer in a repurposed gas station, and a memorable margarita. The Black Forest episode pairs layered chocolate cake and beer after hiking with a detailed look at cycling infrastructure. The show’s strength is the way it lets food open other doors. A dish leads to migration. A drink leads to craft. A market leads to a neighborhood. A recommendation becomes a small argument for why a place deserves more attention. The tone is friendly and enthusiastic, but the appeal is in the specificity. It is made for travelers who want more than restaurant names, and for food lovers who enjoy hearing how a plate carries history, habit, immigration, and local pride. Destination Eat Drink turns each stop into a short, edible field guide.
Made for: For food-focused travelers who plan around bakeries, pubs, markets, street food, regional dishes, and local guides. It also suits curious home listeners who enjoy culinary history and place-specific recommendations.
What sets it apart: The show pairs practical foodie travel tips with guests who can explain why a dish, drink, or neighborhood matters locally. It gives equal attention to famous food cities and overlooked surprises like Columbus, Oslo, and the Black Forest.
Destination Eat Drink brings you delicious dishes and tasty beverages from the world’s great foodie cities. Join us for a culinary adventure as we explore the world one plate at a time.
