Let's sit right here. Ronit, this is Dave.

**Ronit Halmos** (1:12)
Hi.

**Dave Chang** (1:13)
Hi, thanks for doing this.

**Ronit Halmos** (1:14)
So nice to meet you. I'm a Majordomo girl.
Wow.

**Dave Chang** (1:22)
For those that don't know, are you a full-time influencer? Is that what you say these days? How do I talk about this? I feel so out of my depth.

**Ronit Halmos** (1:34)
It's a vast topic, so I understand. These days, it's content creator.

**Dave Chang** (1:40)
Content creator. Your name too, so everybody knows.

**Ronit Halmos** (1:45)
Yeah. I'm Ronit, known online as Ronit Eats. And I am a content creator, but it's not my full-time gig. It's kind of like a hobby side gig at this point.

**Dave Chang** (1:55)
And what's a full-time gig?

**Ronit Halmos** (1:58)
I work like a corporate nine to five. I actually had to put time on my calendar to be out of office for this. Oh, man.

**Dave Chang** (2:05)
What kind of corporate job is it? Full sucking and you hate it? Your bosses are watching.

**Ronit Halmos** (2:10)
I know.
I'm like, I can't tell my team about this. I mean, kind of. I don't want to be in front of a computer all day.

Is your goal eventually to be a full-time content creator all the time 24-7?

**Ronit Halmos** (2:58)
I would be happy with that, but I also have been exploring acting as kind of like a hobby interest that I have been having a lot of fun with lately.

**Dave Chang** (3:09)
Well, we are in LA.

**Dave Chang** (3:10)
Are content creators offended by the word influencer now?

**Dave Chang** (3:14)
That's why I was approaching it.

**Ronit Halmos** (3:17)
I'm not, but these days-

**Dave Chang** (3:19)
Like people would be.

**Ronit Halmos** (3:20)
I just feel like you could get offend, anything could offend people. I don't know. I don't know why they changed it to content creator. Maybe it was offending people.
I would be okay with it. But I guess it does have a bit of a negative connotation.

**Dave Chang** (3:33)
You know what's the equivalent to me? When people call him celebrity chef.
I think it drives him crazy.

**Ronit Halmos** (3:39)
That's a great example.

**Dave Chang** (3:41)
Even though-

**Dave Chang** (3:42)
Listen. I've said this many fucking times.
Of all the professions where you get a name to describe your profession, like Rockstar is the best fun ever. Rockstar literally is the coolest one ever. Celebrity chef? We got stuck with celebrity chef.

**Ronit Halmos** (4:03)
That's a really-

**Dave Chang** (4:03)
Celebrity has not-

**Dave Chang** (4:05)
It's brutal. It's brutal.

**Dave Chang** (4:07)
How often do you go out to eat?

**Ronit Halmos** (4:08)
I actually cook a fair amount, but these days with the social media stuff, I've been eating out way more, a lot more. I probably eat out at least once a day. But-

**Dave Chang** (4:21)
When you go to restaurants, are you getting recognized? Yeah.
Is that something you enjoy, having some-

**Ronit Halmos** (4:28)
I mean, of course. Who doesn't like a little clout?

**Dave Chang** (4:35)
It feels like everyone under a certain age, a generation which I am much older than, they know so much about food. I was like, culinary literacy is the highest ever. I have no idea what happened because people care so much about food. Yeah.
