Ask an Influencer - Hot Takes from the Fancy Food Show: Signs and Signals for the Year Ahead in Food, Wellness & Influence

July 04, 2025 • Robyn Carter and Brooke Stewart • Season 2 • Episode 17

In this special solo episode of Ask an Influencer, co-hosts Brooke Stewart and Robyn Carter trade places with our usual guests and step into the spotlight ourselves. Fresh off the floor of the 2025 Fancy Food Show in NYC — and our own hosted event and Influencer Panel at Olly Olly Market — we’re sharing what stood out, what’s shifting, and what it all might mean for the future of food and influence.

From freeze-dried innovation and elevated frozen meals to beef tallow, beauty from within, and a notable pullback from plant-based, this episode offers an insider’s look at where food culture is heading — and the role influencers are playing in shaping it.

If you work in food, CPG, or content creation — or just like to keep your finger on the pulse — this episode is worth a listen.
