In this episode, Jimmy and Megan swap stories about their favorite food finds, from a legendary taco truck on O’Toole to a Mongolian BBQ place tucked beside a questionable pool hall. Since we spend so much time training onsite at client offices across the Bay Area, we’ve been lucky enough to discover some incredible local eats. (Shout out to our amazing clients who always know the best nearby spots)

But no food adventure is ever just about the food.

Jimmy has a wild tale for you from his firefighter days that starts with a fire call and ends with a stranger asking how to perform a C-section... on a cow... while standing inside a bar... with a giant dog. It’s the kind of unexpected lunch break you don’t forget.

You’ll also hear some strong opinions about red velvet cake, the legacy of San Jose’s burnt almond cake rivalry, and whether ice cream should ever be rolled. Plus, we’ve got personal stories behind some of the best mom-and-pop restaurants we’ve tried, including one taco truck that started as a hot dog cart with just two steam trays.

This episode is a love letter to Bay Area food, and if you're not hungry yet... you will be by the end of this podcast!
