"If I could get a very, very cheap loan without having to guarantee it with the shirt off my back, yes ... every chef would love that." He's worried about what's around the corner in food media and chat GPT is an existential threat.
After an illuminating game in which Dave asks Chris to guess which 2023 food trend listicle was written by ChatGPT vs. a real person, they debate the relevancy of food writing in a world ruled by social media and where food media will go from here. Other topics include the diet changes that aging brings, being the Tom Brady of eating, and how to update the James Beard Foundation Awards for our times.
