Episode description

Our next guest is one of the moderators of the r/chicagofood subreddit. He shares why and how he started to moderate it. He’s made lists to organize his favorite chicken sandwiches, fries, and omakase restaurants. He’s currently organizing his favorite bib gourmand restaurants. Reddit was taken aback by how large and active the subreddit became and presented Mitch with an opportunity to cultivate the community. He began by buying out Obelix for dinner last year and a series of restaurants this year with the Reddit Community Fund. They visited places like Kyōten, Cellar Door Provisions, and Cariño to name a few. Please enjoy our conversation with Mitch Gropman.
