The city of St. Louis has been on fire this weekend because of Darius Cooks. He travels from city to city and hosts dinner events in each location, and this previous weekend he was in St. Louis. He was infuriated and saddened by the food scene in our city, and gave some honest criticisms, and some took them very personally.

He has millions of followers, but I sent him a DM anyways asking him to be on the show. I wasn’t expecting a response, but he said he’d be honored.

This episode is one of the most highly anticipated pieces of content I’ve ever posted, mainly because this was his last stop before heading out of STL after a series of reviews.

I knew the perfect place to take him to, Rated Test Kitchen, which is run by Juwan Rice. I had him on the show a few weeks back. The entire premise of the concept is to bring out your inner food critic, and he was the only person I had confidence in to actually receive a positive rating from Darius.

I told Darius that we could film my podcast at Rated and not only dive deeper into his story and the issues with St. Louis, but to also have an insightful conversation over, what I hoped would be, good food.

People that tuned into his live stream had nothing but positive comments. Will this interaction change Darius’s views on St. Louis, though? Hit the subscribe button, and let’s dive into this.
