This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) interviews David Page (@culinary_characters_unlocked), creator of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, host of Culinary Characters Unlocked, and author of Food Americana! David tells us the story of his New York upbringing, his whirlwind journalism career, and how he fell in love with food media, creating one of the biggest food shows of all time. He’s had to make some significant dietary changes in recent years for health reasons, but still knows how to have a good time. We talk about how fat is what makes food taste delicious, and how it’s important to still find ways to find joy through your food, even when your diet is a bit restrictive. Plus, what happens beef brisket, tomatoes, and candy canes make their way into the Random Meal Generator?
