Always Hangry

Always Hangry

Food isn't complicated. People make it complicated. Always Hangry is a funny, honest, slightly unhinged podcast where chef and TV personality George Duran calls out the weird, frustrating, and totally ridiculous ways we all behave around food. This is not a recipe show. It's not precious. It's not trying to impress you. It's the kind of conversation you have after a couple of drinks, when somebody finally says the thing everyone else is thinking but nobody wants to say out loud. Why does one gluten-free guest suddenly change an entire dinner party? Why are the Costco samples always the wrong thing? When did we stop trusting our instincts at a restaurant and start trusting whatever looked good on social media? Every episode grabs the everyday stuff — ordering, shopping, food trends, other people's eating habits — and pulls it apart with humor, honesty, and just enough chef perspective to actually make it land. Episodes open loose and opinionated: George and a co-host working through rants, food news, real-life scenarios, and arguments that start small and end up somewhere much bigger than they should. The energy comes from the back-and-forth and the disagreements. Nothing is locked in. And then the show goes deeper. Many episodes turn from the rant into a real conversation with someone who genuinely knows the subject — a chef, a scientist, a farmer, a writer, an insider — the kind of expert who can tell you whether the thing we've all been arguing about is actually true. Same honesty, same humor, just with someone in the room who has the receipts. Most food content either teaches you something or tries to look perfect. Always Hangry does neither, and somehow does both. It's for anyone who has ever been annoyed ordering at a restaurant, confused by a menu, skeptical of a trend, or stuck in a situation where dinner quietly turned into a social negotiation. New episodes weekly. Built to be watched, clipped, shared, and argued over. Always Hangry is what happens when you stop pretending food has to be serious and start admitting it's actually kind of ridiculous.

George Duran and food writer Karla Walsh open the fridge on the stuff nobody says out loud.

First up: the genuinely unhinged things Costco has sold in bulk — gold bars, six-foot nutcrackers, 72-pound wheels of Parmesan, buckets of apocalypse food, and yes, caskets💀💰 (buy one, get a free divorce certificate, apparently).

Then brunch goes on trial. Is it a real meal, or just an excuse to charge $20 for eggs the head chef was to...

This episode goes deep on exotic meats and the strange lengths people go to for food — starting with a website that sells, wait for it, opossum tail (just the tail). George and Feel Good Foodie's Yumna Jawad work their way through yak filet mignon, giraffe hot dogs, zebra sausage, and George's own unwitting run-in with cat meat at a childhood baseball game. From there, they get into the FDA's official "food defect leve...
