Travel & food writer, and Los Angeles native, Krista Simmons spent her pre-COVID career exploring food cultures around the world. She talks candidly to Tom and Dr Drea about the impact of lockdown on her mental health, her work, and the food & hospitality industries across the globe. Despite the destruction wrought by the virus, she identifies seeds of hope, and an opportunity to rebuild the food industry in a way that could create a more equitable society, heal cultural wounds and reverse the environmental destruction, with a little help from 'the G.O.A.T', David Attenborough.
