Asking Alex McKenna the best meal she's ever had is, essentially, asking her the best moment of her life. The two exist only together in her world. In this episode, Alex illuminates the essential human elements that accompany any memorable meal– the hospitality that grounds us in the moment, the company that surrounds us, the circumstances that bring us to the table, and even the beauty of a space. While delicious food is always on the table at a best meal, these "ingredients" are what can transform a meal into a core memory. Her stories paint the picture of a life well lived, combining deep appreciation for wanderlust, hospitality, flavor, connection, beauty, friendship and family.
