    EP:11 A Visit to Hawaii's SPAM JAM®

    The SPAM JAM® festival takes place each spring on Kalakaua Avenue, a boutique-lined thoroughfare that runs parallel to the white sand beaches of Waikiki. The avenue’s shops offer a prince’s ransom of high-end goods and services, but on this weekend the scene changes. Sleek storefronts of European fashion houses give way to the smell of grilled onions and cooked pork.

    EP:7 The Future of Culinary Education

    Our guest on this episode, Adam Busby, the general manager of the Greystone campus at The Culinary Institute of America, has a particularly good perspective to see the energy and entrepreneurship that young chefs are bringing to their careers. Becoming head chef at a fine restaurant is no longer the only goal. Students now have wide-ranging ideas about what they will do after they leave campus—from food writing to photography to working on cruise ships or developing nutrition bars. Many young chefs are also looking for careers at large consumer packaged goods companies where their new ideas can have an outsized impact on national food trends and critical issues like food equity and environmental sustainability.

    EP:6 The Anthropology of Food

    Buying, cooking, and sharing food can tell us a lot about who we are as a people. The story is never simple—there are thousands of food and cooking subcultures defined by place, history and economics. In this episode we talk with Tanya Rodriquez, the Hormel Foods in-house anthropologist, about how she tracks these constantly changing trends. We learn how she draws from diverse background in social service, academia and on-the-ground research to gain insights that other might overlook.
