Listen now | Matt Rodbard is the founder and editor of the James Beard Award-winning website TASTE and the co-author of Koreatown: A Cookbook (with Deuki Hong) and the brand new cookbook Food IQ: Questions, Answers, and Recipes to Raise Your Cooking Smarts. In today's session, we talk all about Matt's childhood in Kalamazoo, Michigan, his mother's conversion to Judaism, and eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cereal. We also get into some heavy subjects like publishing accounts of chef abuse (what's the standard?), what counts as cultural appropriation, and whether or not I look good in an APC sweatshirt.
