Food influencer, Christine Yi, and I pair her chili oil with mango, ice cream + Époisses (DELICIOUS)

One of the first food influencers on the scene, Christine Yi of @cy_eats, started posting about food back in 2012. Now with 250k followers on IG and countless brand deals, she and her husband, Chef James Tracey, have created a perfectly balanced, smoky chili oil (cyeats.com). Christine and I sit down to do an impromptu "tasting" where we pair the oil (both original and spicy) with some seemingly unusual foods -- including fresh mango, vegan chocolate ice cream, and Époisses (cheese!). The results are UNEXPECTED. And delicious. And definitely worth a try!!
We then talked about her journey from finance to food, and the one phone call that shifted her life entirely.
Share some comments below, curious to hear your thoughts and if you have any suggestions for unusual chili oil pairings!
Thanks for watching!
