Today I'm talking with Janna at Authentic Food. Good afternoon, Janna. How are you? I'm phenomenal. How are you doing, Mary? I'm fantastic. I love the word phenomenal. I love it. No one ever uses it. Thank you for using that word. Where are you? Where are you located? Actually, right now I am in Miami, Florida, but I'm rarely here because I'm always traveling. I'm usually in and out for a day or two and then on the road. 00:59 Oh, okay. Is Miami nice today? Yes, of course. It's beautiful. It's sunny and warm and yeah, we're going into full on summer here. Yeah, we are, we are wintery today in Minnesota, but starting tomorrow, it's supposed to start warming up and stay warming up. So I'm very excited for this. Oh, good. Good, good, good. And my daughter actually lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. So. 01:28 Oh, lovely. So hopefully get to visit during those cold months. Not yet, but it's sort of been it's been floated. We haven't decided yet when we're going to go. So. All right. OK, so tell me about yourself and authentic food. So authentic food dot com has been brewing for about a decade. It has lived inside me and it's finally the. 01:57 It's such a good feeling to get it out. So I was traveling for work all over the world and sometimes I would be in a country for maybe a day or two. And I've always loved food. I'm also an Italian citizen. So, you know, for me, food is kind of religion. And I would always want to have some kind of dish that I could only get in a certain place. And 02:26 Like even if I was in Denver, I'd want a Denver omelet or I was in Australia. I wanted to try kangaroo, something that was very like regionally specific or culturally specific. And I kept, when I would be in a country, I would ask people, what, what's the most authentic dish here? Or I can't get anywhere else. And, um, the conversations were just really fascinating to me. And it was like, I couldn't get a straight answer. And then some people would send me places and I would feel like. 02:55 Oh, I could have gotten this, you know, in Florida. And so then I would start asking the concierge at the hotel, if they would eat there, they would send me to these places and, and they would say, well, no, I don't really eat there. And I'm like, well, where would you eat? And then I got even more intuitive and I would ask them, well, would your mom eat there? And it was like the deeper I was getting in the conversation. 03:23 the more authenticity I felt like I was getting for that kind of local flavor. And I really started to wonder how are people coming up with this idea of authenticity surrounding food and restaurants? And so much so that I went back to college and I got a PhD so that I could research it. I did a five-year PhD at University of Florida. 03:48 What was the PhD in? was the sociology? So I did the sociology of food and specifically how society creates the idea of authenticity in regard to Super cool. Yeah. I, yeah, I mean, starting a PhD in my forties, everyone thought I was nuts. Um, but here I am. I graduated almost a year ago now and 04:18 During that time, I hadn't been in academia in a while. So I realized that a lot of the stuff that I was writing was sitting behind these paywalls and these academic journals. And I wanted people to have access to the discussions that I was having, the interviews I was doing. so I at some point bought authenticfood.com domain and it sat. And then last fall, this past November, 04:45 My daughters are like, mom, you need to do something with appendixv.com. And I thought that it would be a little blog that maybe I did once a month or something, but it has really grown into something more. And I love these dialogues with people about authenticity because as a sociologist, I study how society creates this narrative. 05:12 And for me, I learned that it was through a very like socially constructed idea as an individual. So food is very universal, but we each have these very personal experiences with food. And it ...
