Episode Description

In the debut episode of the One Bite Foodie Podcast, we sit down with Joseph Haecker, founder of One Bite Foodie, a unique platform designed to unite food lovers, creators, and restaurateurs through the simple power of a single bite. Joseph’s journey is anything but ordinary. After losing his sense of taste and smell to COVID in 2021, he embarked on a mission to savor the experience of food differently, focusing on textures, flavors, and ambiance — and bringing people along for the journey. Join our host, Mark Schilling, as he dives into Joseph’s background, the inspiration behind One Bite Foodie, and his belief that even one bite can spark conversations, create connections, and support local eateries. Discover how the platform empowers users to share their favorite “one-bite” reviews, spotlight hidden gems, and become part of a growing food community that values experiences as much as taste. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or just love discovering new eats, this episode will inspire you to look at food a little differently — as a gateway to connection, support, and shared experience.

Tune in for all that and more in Episode #3 of the *One Bite Foodie Podcast*! ***** REFERENCE DATA In 2024, the food and beverage industry saw several key trends shaping consumer behavior and business strategies: ### Key Trends in 2024: 1. **Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility**: A significant focus was on "nurturing nature," where businesses moved beyond basic sustainability to regenerative practices like forest preservation, reduced water usage, and improved waste management. Consumers increasingly preferred brands that actively protect the environment【184】【185】. 2. **Health and Prevention**: The emphasis shifted toward proactive health management. Consumers looked for products supporting holistic well-being, such as those aiding gut health, weight management, and healthy aging. Personalized nutrition also gained traction【184】. 3. **Plant-Based Innovation**: Plant-based products evolved from meat substitutes to unique plant-forward offerings. Familiar and convenient formats, like ready meals, became popular, along with innovative regional plant-based dishes like seafood alternatives【184】. 4. **Cultural Fusion and Local Ingredients**: Cross-cultural cuisine grew as chefs embraced diverse culinary influences. Dishes combined global flavors with local ingredients, reflecting a broader acceptance of multicultural dining experiences【185】. 5. **Home Cooking and Elevated Dining at Home**: Post-pandemic lifestyle changes saw consumers investing in high-quality ingredients and exploring global cuisines in home kitchens, driven by both health considerations and budget constraints【184】. 6. **Indulgent Yet Healthy Offerings**: A blend of indulgence and health emerged, with products like low-sugar chocolates and fortified snacks gaining popularity. Consumers sought enjoyment without compromising health【184】. ### Forecast for 2025: In 2025, these trends are expected to evolve further, with a stronger emphasis on: - **Climate-Positive Practices**: Companies may integrate regenerative agriculture and carbon-neutral initiatives more prominently into their operations. - **Tech-Enabled Personalization**: AI-driven solutions for nutrition and dietary planning could revolutionize personalized health and wellness. - **Functional Foods**: Expect a surge in foods fortified with probiotics, adaptogens, and other functional ingredients to support mental health and immunity. - **Circular Food Systems**: Upcycling and zero-waste product innovations could become mainstream, with companies addressing food waste creatively. - **Next-Level Plant-Based Foods**: Plant-based alternatives will likely become even more specialized, focusing on authenticity and culinary creativity. Businesses that align with these shifts are likely to capture consumer interest and stay ahead in the competitive landscape.

One Bite Foodie Podcast Episode 2 From Tulum to Jalisco: The Culinary Heritage Unveiled Welcome to this vibrant episode of the One Bite Foodie Podcast! We’re broadcasting live from The OG's Tulum, where the 2024 Festival Gastronómico del Mole Tulum is in full swing. OG’s, a staple in Tulum’s dining scene, boasts a delicious menu of brunch and dinner options, using fresh, local ingredients that echo the flavors of the region. Their creative dishes, like birria chilaquiles and cacao pancakes, keep both locals and travelers coming back. This year's Mole Festival brought together Mexico's top culinary figures, but the highlight of this episode is our exclusive interview with Carlos García, the fifth-generation steward of Casa Tlalpuyec. Recorded during this bustling event, special field correspondent and One Bite Foodie founder Joseph Haecker sits down with Carlos to discuss the rich heritage of Casa Tlalpuyec. Known for producing premium Raicilla, a unique agave spirit from the highlands of Mascota, Jalisco, Casa Tlalpuyec continues to honor its origins while innovating for the modern palate. Unlike tequila or mezcal, Raicilla captures distinct roasted agave notes and embodies the tradition of Jalisco.
