Okay, thanks. Well, thanks for having me on the show. I really do appreciate it. I'm happy to be here as well. And to discuss what I think is a growing and important topic. I think it's something we've been dealing with for a long time in terms of food security, and it's getting a lot more visibility now.

I think it's something we've been dealing with for a long time in terms of food security, and it's getting a lot more visibility now.

But before we dive into that, my favorite food, you know, I would actually have to say, and this is going to be a terrible answer, but I'm going to have to default to just sort of a pizza. And the reason is because I've traveled internationally quite a bit. And, you know, the Italians do a pizza in a certain way.

And the reason is because I've traveled internationally quite a bit. And, you know, the Italians do a pizza in a certain way.

And if even inside Italy, you know, if you go to Napoli and other areas, they have different pizza styles and Sicily and everything else like that. But it is one constant, right? It is one constant anywhere in the world. You can always find a pizza. You can always have a slice of home, I guess I would say. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's something you can always rely upon.

I would just go straight with the pepperoni, but there's also, you know, sort of a diavola, which is with the peppers and more hot, I guess I would say. And then, yeah, just a standard sort of margarita as well, which is sort of what a lot of Europeans default to.

mean you could i mean but generally speaking it's a safe bet is there a particular pizza place that you have in mind that you were thinking of when you said that well i mean not really there's some really good italian places that i've that i've been to that you know when you go in and you just have this giant they bring out a very thin slice or a very you know thin pizza and just it's tremendous in size it takes up sort of half the table and it's absolutely fantastic the only problem is you generally will go into a carb sort of coma after that yeah

that's great and then your favorite food memory oh that's a great question i think you know for me personally i mean i'm originally from texas and originally from dallas and there used to be a restaurant in dallas that had this just infamously famous hot sauce and mexican food and it was absolutely fantastic and when you but when you go there it's sort of like a dive and you go in and the first thing they do is give you a giant glass of

and pitcher of iced tea. And then the hot sauce was extremely hot, but the food was fantastic. And so that's something I always think about. I think it's closed now, but unfortunately that was always a good place to go for Mexican food back in the time when I was in the US.

Yeah, it's a nostalgia of the place. And then, you know, there's some for some weird reason. And you can sort of let me know if I'm right or wrong. But there's this correlation between going into a place that is rather simple by design, but has fantastic food. Right. And then if you go into a place that's sort of extravagant and the food is not great.

So for whatever reason, this place had just the lack of decor and the fantastic food just sort of stuck in my mind.
