Do you have a relationship with social media? Because I do, and like all relationships I’ve ever had throughout my life with people, places, and things, it’s not a simple one. On one hand, I think that humanity is someday going to look back at this age of social media that we’re currently in—assuming we haven’t nuked ourselves into oblivion or heated up the planet to an impossible degree, or both—and very firmly recognize that social media was an absolute evil that drove a whole lot of divisive, mind-warping, polarizing spikes into our brains.
But hey: hilarious dog videos! Amirite? I catch myself scrolling all the time. I crack up at some of the ridiculous shit you’ll see on there. People chasing rolling cheeses down hills, endless highlights of the Eagles thumping the Chiefs.
And food. So much food. Juicy, squeezy, delicious, ASMR-scraping food beauty shots and video clips of people making and eating things that hit the eyes and the ears, although certainly not the nose and the tongue.
But on a podcast dedicated to flavor, why would anyone care about social media? Should we care? I think the answer is that we have to. And when I had the chance to drag Fidel Gastro himself, also known in real life as Marcos Espinoza, into a conversation with me, I couldn’t resist digging into the topic of social media with him. So we sat down together in a busy back room at Forest and Main Brewing Company and took up trying to solve the world’s social media food-born problems.
But flavor being what it is, there was plenty more to talk about too, of course. As it turned out, we both have the exact same opinion about the #1 best sandwich in Philly. So where is that sandwich from? Listen in, and you'll find out.
