Episode 06: Food for Thought

Why do we obsess over the notion of authenticity? Why is Asian fusion so popular nowadays? Why do these restaurants put mayonnaise on everything? These are some of the questions we try to explore in our very first food episode. Our original plan to rant about "authentically Asian" restaurants turned into a discussion about the difference between authenticity in the East vs. the West, and the politics of opening an Asian restaurant. We conclude with an invitation to reach out - we would love to hear from you and your favourite spots, as much as we would love to share ours.
