A last-minute party with no menu inspiration. A kitchen with no space. A toddler who will only eat buttered pasta. Name your dinner emergency—Bon Appétit is here to help.
Dinner SOS is the podcast where we answer desperate home cooks' cries for help. In every episode, food director Chris Morocco and a rotating cast of cooking experts tackle a highly specific conundrum and present two solutions. The caller will pick one, cook through it, and let us know if we successfully helped rescue dinner.
Call in with your own dinner emergencies—no problem is too big or too small!

Customer Reviews
Dinner SOS
It’s a good show, but lately Chris is getting too bossy and picks on his co-chef.
All the Stars
I have a two hour daily commute. I have some time for podcasts. Dinner SOS doesn’t last long enough or happen as frequently as I could possibly want. A man who has hot takes and a hard pass on both bananas and peanut butter just makes me feel SEEN. It’s a fun and insightful pod for people who love food. Really team, ALL the stars! Thank you.
Love the show
“It tastes like you ate scrambled eggs and then licked the inside of a can” - Literal best description of lemon meringue pie I have EVER heard 😂🤣🤣
