About This Podcast
So what exactly IS flavor? Join host and Philadelphia native Evan Young as he goes on a journey to understand this most basic and enjoyable—but mysterious—human sense. Including interviews with restaurateurs, bakers, confectioners, foodies, flavor experts, researchers, and chefs at prominent Philadelphia restaurants, Evan digs in to get to the bottom of what flavor really means to us all. There are deep dives into interesting food and unique ingredients, how chefs think about dishes, how flavor is tied to nostalgia and memories, stuff we like to eat and stuff we don’t, and a whole lot more.

S1E2 Melissa Crandley of Mecha Chocolate: on key limes, chocolate, tomatoes, Indian food, banana flavoring, and pralines
