Our conversation with Amy Drew Thompson, seasoned food critic and journalist, took us on a journey through the flavors and stories that make our culinary experiences truly memorable. We sank our teeth into the world of food photography, the tales behind tailgating delights, and the vibrant discussions that only a shared love for food can ignite. From personal anecdotes about family's commitment to restaurant life to the indulgent laughter over health concerns from a good appetite, we covered a smorgasbord of topics that resonate with anyone who's ever found joy in a bite.

    Let's face it, the allure of a juicy burger or the perfect pulled pork can lead to some serious food envy. But it's not just about what we're eating – it's about the camaraderie forged over shared plates and the hardworking individuals from Noble Citrus and Sweet Water Coffee who provide the ingredients that make our dishes sing. As we celebrated local farmers and the artistry behind each meal, we also navigated the evolving world of food criticism, where social media has flipped the script and everyone has a seat at the table. The laughter shared over car dining faux pas and cheese debates meshed with the realities of the restaurant industry's grueling schedules, showcasing the diverse perspectives and generational wisdom brought to each episode.

    Our plates were full, but so were our hearts, as we wrapped up the episode with a heartfelt thank you to Amy Drew Thompson for her invaluable insights and the laughter she brought to the studio. We hinted at future gastronomic collaborations and upcoming events that promise to keep our listeners at the edge of their seat
