Episode 34: Getting Dirty with Farmer Jawn, Supper Club winner announcement and a Bialy education

Delicious City Philly

It's a Super Bowl bound podcast where we can't help but get a little giddy, and our guest today had to seek out a sports bar in Costa Rica just to see the game! But, as you'll hear, it couldn't have turned out any better for her. Even though it's hard to focus on food right now with Eagles mania, somehow we managed to do it. It's called commitment, people!

So, between food and Eagles talk, we dig deep into the genesis of one of the coolest Philadelphia stories you'll ever hear of destiny intervening in someone's life and putting them on a path of passion and purpose, and how Farmer Jawn's founder, Christa Barfield, found her love for farming after she burned out from her career and booked a trip to Martinique on a whim.

Besides this incredibly inspiring story, here's what else we talked about:

• The corner store dilemma and what it means to reconceptualize it
