© 2024 Three Food Memories
Description
Three Food Memories is hosted by Savva Savas, dad of twin boys, entrepreneur, caterer, and creator. In each episode Savva chats with a guest who shares three food memories and a social cause close to their heart, revealing far more about themselves than what they’ve tasted.
The things you find out when you ask people about their food memories can be soulful, spicy, sensational, sour, and often sublime. Often you'll discover something you never knew about the person you asked - and this is what the Three Food Memories podcast is about. How every food memory is linked to a moment in time.
Be prepared for some hilarious and otherwise never heard before stories, and if you love listening - please tell your friends (and like, subscribe and follow for all the goodness!)
