This episode is SO worth listening to. Although it is kind of a serious story, because Amy Pearl gets these bad allergic reactions to meat all of the sudden, it is told in a ‘funny’ way by Amy herself. Like its an anecdote. Also this podcast got me very curious, I couldn’t wait for the showdown.
For as long as she can remember, Amy Pearl has loved meat in all its glorious cuts and marbled flavors. And then one day, for seemingly no reason, her body wouldn’t tolerate it. No steaks. No brisket. No weenies. It made no sense to her or to her doctor: why couldn’t she eat something that she had routinely enjoyed for decades? Something our evolutionary forebears have eaten since time immemorial? The answer involves mysterious maps, interpretive dance, and a collision of three different species.
