THE 2FOODTRIPPERS - CULINARY CHARACTERS UNLOCKED EP 10

Daryl and Mindi Hirsch met over bagels, discussed his obsession with cheese, and as their relationship grew, they bonded over their shared love of food and got married.

On this episode, they discuss favorite foods, favorite food cities, the differences between food in America and food elsewhere, and why they've begun to prefer mom and pop restaurants over the Michelin-starred temples of gastronomy.
