Either Side Eaters: What Makes Food Go Viral? With Sophia Roe

If you like this show, head right on over to the Either Side Eaters show page, where you can find more episodes.

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 joins to talk food as a tool for social change.

Special thanks to our listener Leo for your question and Brian Quinn (@bqfunk) for our theme music.
