Like many of his fans, I first stumbled upon Jake Pauwels (better known by his handle @adventuresinaardia or as the creator of Roll For Sandwich) while scrolling through TIkTok. I was immediately caught by the novelty of letting the dice decide the fate of his lunch but I kept coming back because of Jake's narration: funny, witty and incredibly accessible - never pretentious, always fun.
I reached out to Jake to invite him on Our Last Meal: Loss, Grief & Food and was honored when he accepted. The conversation on this video is the result of that interview and it proved what I already knew in my gut: Jake is an engaging, kind, insightful person. In our talk, he shared with me more about himself and the people, places and things that made him who he is including his willingness to be so open-minded to new foods.
Jake talks with me about something so relatable but hard to articulate: grief over a place in time; nostalgia. I hope you'll enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking with Jake.
