On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, brothers Chris and Nick Schonberger share a passion for nachos. For real, if not for their familiar nacho bond, they’re barely brothers. Luckily, their job begets nacho hunting. As editors of First We Feast, a website where food is delivered through pop culture, they aim to bring long lasting relevance to the fads we eat. Interviewing game-changing chefs on the “10 Dishes that Made Their Career”, to curating insider guides on what to eat where and when, this ain’t your ordinary listacle, it’s put to the test. There’s only rule - "NO SOGGY CHIPS"! This program has been brought to you by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. Theme music provided by Cookies.
"If I'm going to be in the workplace and be really pissed off at somebody - I'd rather it be my brother so we can squash the beef in a familial way." [2:00]
-- Chris Shonberger of First We Feast on The Food Seen
