030 Kevin Shalin | Titan of Food Writing

In this episode, I speak with Kevin Shalin, food reviewer and blogger for The Mighty Rib! He’s a beloved icon in the Little Rock restaurant scene, and prides himself on authentic, unbiased chronicles of local cuisine. His work has been featured in publications like Only In Arkansas, Arkansas Times, and AY Magazine. The Mighty Rib Facebook page has an estimated monthly reach of about half a million viewers! Kevin talks to us about how he transformed his hobby into a career, built trust amongst a digital audience, and why he chooses to spotlight restaurants and their staff in his writing, rather than himself.
