On September 21, 2015, Matt Little was heading home from a comedy club in New York City's East Village when he noticed a little creature making its way down the steps of a subway station, gnawing on a oversized slice of pizza. He filmed a short video of the rat and posted it to YouTube. The 15 second clip took the world by storm, breading thousands of memes and solidifying its place in pop culture, even a decade later. Matt joins the All Things Pizza podcast to give listeners a behind the scenes account of that evening -- sharing untold tales about how this unexpected encounter went viral. This is the story of Pizza Rat.
