Jessie "Eats" Evans on how NOT to be a "pump and dump" influencer

I'm joined by a true OG of the food influencing world today to discuss the ins and outs of this weird world. Jessie Evans has been producing food content under the moniker of @JessieEats for the better part of a decade, putting her storytelling to work so that foodies from all over can learn where to eat next. We discuss how she started, how she approaches reviewing spots that offer a less-than-positive experience, and we even play a round of The LA Food Podcast's favorite game, "The Perfect Rec."
