Episode 6: Eating Queer Food (ft. John Birdsall) Ate Ate Ate

- Food
Sam Low and Jean Teng talk to James Beard award-winning author John Birdsall (The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard) about the question: what is queer food?
We talk about cooking as resistance, the broadness of the term "queer", queer spaces and community building, the history of queer food and stories, how queerness affects your cooking or perspective on food, whether or not chefs and hospitality figures should be asked to talk about their queerness, and, also, about how the "masc bro chef" is ON THE RISE ONCE AGAIN (thanks The Bear).
Thanks so much to our guest, John Birdsall!
