Three Food Memories explores how food memories connect to specific moments in people's lives. Host Savva Savas, a dad, entrepreneur, caterer, and creator, talks with guests who each share three food memories and a social cause close to their heart. The conversations reveal personal stories that go beyond taste and often uncover surprising things about the guest. The podcast blends soulful, spicy, sensational, sour, and sublime recollections with humour and never-before-heard anecdotes.
