On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my new pal Dave – thanks for the intro Paul! – a fellow dad, content creator, and the man I’d trust most to give me restaurant recommendations. Here’s some of what we talk about:
First Question: You get offered money to produce videos of the best food in the city of your choice. What city are you choosing?
- why transplants make any city’s dining scene better
- \the bizarre ambitions of little kids before they understand the world
- having lived in Los Angeles, Boston and Seattle, how does he rate the Denver food scene?
- how does Dave approach and review legacy places that Denverites are going to have outsized fondness for?
- how mean can people be to him in YouTube comments?
- the difficulty of doing a “hidden gem” video and do people get pissed for driving traffic to their favorite spaces and making them more crowded?
- indulging in barbecue, pizza, burgers… how does he keep himself in shape?
- how does he avoid side eye from other patrons if he’s coming in filming and generally avoid being a d-bag?
- how does he handle sponsored content?
- Dave is from Los Angeles. he’s a huge Nuggets fan. how does that happen?
- we spend a good deal of time talking ball and doing some of my favorite sh*t on earth: remembering some guys!
- let’s say I meet with Dave in the future and his YouTube channel has become wildly successful. what will have happened?
Find Dave on his YouTube channel.
