On this week’s menu: we’re revisiting across the pond to the United Kingdom. This time, we’ll be discussing more the business and evolution of the UK's digital talent industry that we first saw with the big boom back in the early 2010s of British creators rising to similar status as traditional celebrities. Let’s get into the differences and what it really takes to grow a brand and maintain relevant content in the UK.

Helping provide perspective while also still talking food, of course, is Eloise Head aka FitWaffle. Before creating amazing recipes and content for the Internet, Eloise originally had a career as a personal trainer. She then started her brand, officially, while documenting her own journey with food and fitness. And ever since has garnered millions of followers across all social media and has published a few best selling recipe books on top of it all.

On this week’s menu: a follow-up conversation about South Korea’s soft power and how cultural influence - especially through food - can amplify a country’s presence beyond its own borders and into a “global mainstream”. Lending us their informed perspective are chef Deuki Hong and food journalist Matt Rodbard. They’ve co-written the New York Times Bestselling book KOREATOWN and have now released a delicious sequel KOREAWORLD. So they know a thing or two.

On this week’s menu: the origins of Buzzfeed’s Tasty and knowing, as a creative, when it’s time to walk away. Buzzfeed was not and is not the only Internet media company to make it big enough that its own staff become household names for many - but what really goes behind the scenes and our own screens?

Lending us her own perspective and experience is culinary producer and creator Inga Lam. After more than five years as a culinary producer for Buzzfeed Tasty in New York City, Inga has moved on to being her own full-time boss, still cooking online and eating delicious food around the world.

On this week’s menu: we’re talking about the commercialization of cannabis and its place in the food and beverage industry. Are we able to get past the stigma that for so long and in many parts of the world, still plagues marijuana consumption?

Joining us to talk shop is Vanessa Lavorato (culinary producer, author, and founder of Marigold Sweets) to help answer hopefully SOME of these questions. And together, we delve into the complexities of being in an industry centered around a “controlled substance” and really is true and not true in its use.
