This week Joe is joined by Daniel Bromfield, a journalist and independent musician from San Francisco, who runs the popular twitter account "Regional American Foods". The two discuss the success of the account, how regional foods can elicit a dogmatic response from people across the country, and how sharing a bizarre food can be a chance to reflect on your own perceptions of food.
This week's episode begins with an introduction to the Regional American Foods twitter account and its frequent posts of niche sandwiches, stews and other assorted foodstuffs from around the country. Daniel discusses how the account came to be from his love of late night Wikipedia scrolling. Joe and Daniel talk about the bizarre pizzas article that he published with Atlas Obscura and Daniel's possible plans to do more unique food writing in the future. Daniel shares his insights on how these food posts can elicit such strong responses from people, especially the infamous Indiana Pork Tenderloin Sandwich.
