In this episode Amanda and Kim talk about the delicious and not so delicious
food trends popularizing our worlds.
Kim starts off talking about the restaurant industry and how chefs are getting innovative with their craft - from Underground Detroit Pizza and Bread Businesses popping up across LA to Chef’s turning their love of cooking into
online cooking classes. She talks about a class she is taking with Michelin chef and creator of
Dark Horse Organic and the amazing condiments they are making. Prefer to order takeout? We got you - there are also cocktail making classes like
Sangria and Secrets hosted virtually by a house of phenomenal drag queens. All part of Airbnb’s innovative counter approach to the epidemic.
There is also Kim’s not to be missed review of the
Always Pan from Our Place that is an insta-celebrity in its own right.

Cake cutting meme that took over social media - its humble start from the basic cupcake to extreme cakes to full cakes that look exactly like toilet paper or croc. The resonating surreality of life as we know it and resulting memes that follow. Amanda discusses the “Grooms Cake” and how this may have influenced the popularity of the hyper-realistic cake trend that is reaching pitch. Amanda gets psychological so don’t miss out.

Sharona Franklin who partnered with
