Ep 6.9 Pt. 2 - Eating Like the Locals: What America Could Learn

Hey there, I’m Kiné Corder, the leading National Certified Counselor specializing in financial therapy for sleep. In this episode, we’re picking up where we left off on the food and culture tour across the countries I’ve lived in. From Albania to Turkey, France, Malaysia, and Monaco, I break down what daily life and meals really look like for locals and what America could learn from it.

We talk about:

• How grocery stores and restaurants differ in quality, pricing, and freshness around the world

• Why fruits, vegetables, and even olive oil taste completely different when they’re local and seasonal

• How eating out can be cheaper and easier than cooking at home, even for two people

• Hidden food hacks from Monaco and Turkey that give you restaurant-quality meals without overspending

• Street food lessons from Thailand and Malaysia

• The surprising realities of eating in Mexico and why not all “authentic” food is what you think

Whether you’re curious about how culture shapes cuisine or just love learning how locals eat, this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the meals, markets, and flavors that have shaped my perspective on food, life, and travel.
