But that's not all! We couldn't let the opportunity pass without tackling an issue that affects us all - aging. Yes, folks, we're talking about getting older and how to do it with style. We share some hilarious anecdotes and engage in some thought-provoking discussions about how our style changes as we age. Don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom – we approach this topic with humor and a touch of nostalgia for our younger days. And remember, the World Food Championships ends on Sunday, the 12th. So, if you're in the Dallas area, don't miss out on witnessing the culinary delights and innovation first hand.
