Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster is a food and comedy podcast featuring Ed Gamble and James Acaster, produced by Plosive[1] in which guests are invited to select their dream menu by both comedians. Off Menu was launched in December 2018 and was nominated for the 2019 British Podcast Awards in the Best Entertainment category.[2]

Premise

In the show guests are asked by Acaster's Genie Waiter if they would like "still or sparkling water" and "poppadoms or bread".[3] They then proceed to give their favourite ever starter, main course, side dish, drink and dessert, expand upon where and when they had it, and are given the opportunity to discuss the evocative memories they associate with the chosen dishes.[4][5]

Before the guest arrives Ed and James announce a secret ingredient that at least one of them does not like. If the guest mentions the ingredient they are ejected from the Dream Restaurant without getting any dinner. To date, the only guest to have been ejected from Dream Restaurant is Jayde Adams.
