Culturemap food editor and podcast host Eric Sandler really knows the way to my heart – talking about food! He has come up the ranks from a blogger to really making his mark as one of the most trusted food editors in the city. Heck, the state of Texas. We talk about how food service changed during the pandy with a shift towards safety protocols and outdoor dining and how the leaders in hospitality here in Houston really stepped up to help those that were out of work or furloughed. We discuss pet peeves in dining and go into detail about Eric’s take on why seemingly popular restaurants might fail. I also talk about “chef ego” and why I think it’s time to move away from “uppity” dining experiences. If you are at all into the food scene, wherever you are, this is the episode for you! Bon appetit.
