from Cozy with Calinnah · host Calinnah
In this episode of Cozy with Calinnah, I sit down with Kimberly, aka Dandy Eats, to talk about food, healing, nostalgia, and how her journey as a food blogger evolved alongside social media itself.Dandy opens up about surviving childhood leukemia, chemotherapy cravings, and a small but unforgettable moment — eating Doritos while watching the Super Bowl just before finding out she was cancer-free. We talk about how food became comfort, memory, and joy during a time when eating wasn’t easy, and how that experience shaped her relationship with food.We also dive into her evolution from early food blogging (before Stories, trending audio, and virality) to becoming a food influencer by paying attention to platforms, algorithms, and storytelling as social media changed over time. This conversation explores resilience, growth, Filipino food culture, and what it means to fully live through food.
