Summertime! Every year when summer rolls around, people get excited about the warm weather and, of course, all the good foods to eat during the season. Find out what kind of summer foods our hosts Andrew and Kassy enjoy the most in this Simplified Speech episode.

Fun facts

In this episode, Andrew mentions very expensive Japanese grapes that go for over $100 each. He wasn’t kidding! In July 2019, a bunch of about 30 Ruby Roman grapes sold at an auction for $10,900. That comes out to about $360 per grape!
