Hungry for Likes: When Your Dinner Gets More Attention Than You Do S:1E:41
Manage episode 493409606 series 3587176
From mouthwatering restaurant plates to homemade creations, food photography dominates our social media feeds—but why are we so obsessed with documenting every meal? This episode dives deep into our digital food culture with plenty of laughs along the way.
Bobbi and Jane explore the psychology behind food posting, revealing how these images create community connections, trigger dopamine releases, and even function as personal branding. Jane shares her experience writing nearly a million food reviews.
The conversation takes hilarious turns through cooking show obsessions, childhood baking disasters—including the traumatic tale of Bobbi's meticulously decorated cookie that met an unfortunate canine fate—and a thought-provoking question: if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Their answers reveal surprising insights about risk tolerance, life philosophy, and what foods they absolutely refuse to eat under any circumstances.
What food would you eat for the rest of your life if you could only choose one? Share your answer with us on social media or email us at [email protected] with your topic suggestions!
