Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster

Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster is a food and comedy podcast featuring Ed Gamble and James Acaster, in which guests are invited to select their dream menu by both comedians.

The episode continues with the guest giving their starter, main course, side dish, drink and dessert.

[6] The hosts have some strong established opinions on food: for instance, Gamble favours a cheeseboard for dessert, to which Acaster objects.

[2] They also have established anecdotes, such as Acaster's story about drinking Diet Coke after a long period of caffeine abstinence and believing that it tasted like Coca-Cola.

[7] A wide range of guests have "eaten at the dream restaurant", including comedians, chefs, and other figures such as Bob Mortimer, Michelle Keegan, Ainsley Harriott and Joe Thomas.

[11] A live episode of Off Menu was recorded in July 2021 at the Royal Festival Hall with Isy Suttie and Edgar Wright as the guests.

[24] In an early Irish Times review, Sarah Griffin praised the "succinct and unique" concept as a "particularly good ice-breaker" with "deliberate and considered" structure, and the hosts as "playful, curious and focused" with "genuine curiosity" in the guest.
