Episode Synopsis "What Makes Food Go Viral? With Sophia Roe"

Co-hosts Jen Phanomrat and Katie Quinn discuss the history and concept of "cucina povera" (making the most from simple, seasonal ingredients); Anna Maggio's Under the Olive Tree; and how we can see hints of this "poor cooking" approach in viral food trends today. Later on, chef and VICE Counter Space's Sophia Roe shares why equal access greater representation is important even—especially—in food. Special thanks to our listener Leo for your question and Brian Quinn (@bqfunk) for our theme music.Got a Q for us?
