Undercooked
by Dan Ahearn (Dan A Dude)
Dan Ahearn is introduced as a guest who is 'now author' and his new book 'Undercooked' is mentioned. The book is described as a comedic food memoir with standalone chapters about food, hunting, and his relationship with his dad. The full subtitle is later revealed as 'How I lit food become my life navigator and how maybe that's a dumb way to live.' The book discussion continues throughout the episode, with Dan explaining how appearing on the Meat Eater podcast previously led to this book deal.
