789: Mythical Kitchen's Josh Scherer Is Food Media's Unlikely Intellectual Empath
About this episode
Josh Scherer discusses his journey in food media, exploring themes of mortality and celebrity through his show Last Meals.
Josh Scherer didn’t set out to make an expansive and deeply heartfelt show about mortality. He set out to make a funny YouTube video about a carne asada burrito. A hundred episodes of Last Meals later—with Tom Hanks, Jason Kelce, and Elijah Wood having sat in the chair—he’s built the best food talk show online. The executive director of culinary content at Mythical Entertainment and NYT best-selling author joins Matt to talk food, grief, celebrity, and the last thing you’d ever want to eat.
