When you came up in food, magazines and TV were the only source of information. Discovery was a massive part of it. But also this is again information asymmetry, right? There was a possibility that that critic had a better taste and experience and knowledge than the dining critic.
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.
Hosts: Dave Chang and Chris Ying
Producers: Sasha Ashall, Aleya Zenieris, and Gabi Marler
