"I think this theory of inflation right whether it's in economics or I really think in culture too is just evolving away as it evolves," he says. "You're not even familiar with your let you say food now do you think that 2000 years ago 3000 years ago anybody didn't see a skull carcass when they're buying meat yeah no of course they did." He also talks about the rise of the Ottomans part two at New York and how his character was inspired by Vlad Dracula who later turned out to be the inspiration for Dracula.
Dave and Chris explore Dave’s thoughts from his time in a homemade sensory-deprivation chamber (a New York apartment with blackout blinds), including why stars are the ratings system of choice, Vlad the Impaler, and ‘The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House’ on Netflix. Then, they theorize about how gambling and betting could change the world of food, from the James Beard Awards to futures betting in restaurants. Other topics include Pokémon supremacy, the pure joy of Mario Bros., the best sauce for french fries, and kimchi made via genetic algorithm.
