In our first episode of the show, we talk with Abe Obeid, better known as Halal Food Junkie, a foodie in the metro Detroit area. Growing up with his twin brother Acky, who has a cognitive disability, has shaped many of Abe's life experiences, including the way he runs his social media pages and his passion for giving back to the community.

Our conversation centers around the story of Abe and Acky; their home environment, deep bond growing up, struggles with mental health, suicide, marriage, and much more.
