Hey everyone, this is Julia Barbaro, host of the Multifamily Zone podcast.

I'm here with the co-founder of Jake and Gino, my husband and co-host, Gino Barbaro. Hey, Gino. Hi, Julia.

How are you doing? I'm doing good. We have a nice show today. It's one of the topics that is

near and dear to my heart. It is food. I was in the restaurant business for a long time,

and I was surrounded by food all the time and it was difficult

being surrounded by food but one thing I saw as I worked in the restaurant over the years I

would see families come in and they would be disconnected back in the 90s and early 2000s

phones weren't prevalent families would come in and they'd sit down and they'd eat a nice meal.

Then things started changing, eating habits started changing. People would come in and they'd all be on their phones.

They'd all be disconnected. They were doing a lot of takeout. They're eating on the road. They're eating on the run.

They didn't have time for the most basic human need, which is food, which is

fuel, which goes into our body, which is what we should be doing every day being taking care of

ourselves. And for me, it was frustrating because I had six children and I knew how important it was

to get around the dinner table. I knew how important it was to spend time at least one meal a day with your family.

You know, it's important.

I love what you said, that it used to be different, and it did change.

And the great thing that I think is that we can take that back if we choose to.

And a lot of people are like, you know, I don't have time.

You know what?
