Writer Rax King's deservedly celebrated recent piece, "Love, Peace, and Taco Grease: How I Left My Abusive Husband and Found Guy Fieri," is both an incredible feat of writing and a compelling take on the unlikely charm and cultural power of the yellow-haired star of the Food Network's flagship program, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives (or, the "Triple D"). She joins David and Danny for a discussion of millennial food culture, the aesthetic evolution of food TV, the connections between cheeseburgers and climate change, the ethics of eating at restaurants during COVID, and of course, the complicated cultural legacy of Guy Fieri's undeniably addictive tour of American foodlust.
