In this episode of the Mask Off Podcast, we talk with Óscar Fernández, creator of Eating Barna, one of Barcelona's leading food accounts.

We discuss how he started recommending restaurants on Instagram, the rise and fall of certain food trends, the problem of influencers who are only looking for free meals, how social media has changed the way we choose restaurants, and why he thinks we've lost some of our culinary discernment.

We also debate specialty coffee shops, brunch, smash burgers, overrated restaurants, unforgettable dining experiences, dishes that never disappoint, Catalan cuisine, and his favorite restaurants in Barcelona.

A candid conversation about food, social media, digital entrepreneurship, and the future of the restaurant industry.
