After trying to find a chicken stew recipe online, Brandon bought a cookbook, noting:

There was a time when the internet was superior (or at least it felt that way) than books. But with the amount of misinformation and SEO/AI trash online, I feel like trusting a book for my information is the better deal these days. It cuts down on the clutter and gets things back to the basics. In a way, it’s much easier than the internet, which is funny because having all of this information at our fingertips was supposed to be easy.

Agreed. I’ve returned to travel guidebooks over blog posts and social media.
