    Matt Hershberger: Food Taboos

    What are food taboos? How are they created? And how do we break the power they hold over us?  Matt Hershberger is back to explore the world of food taboos. We talk about the lobster's rise from taboo to luxury in colonial American history, we dish about bug eating and unpack how a lot of these food taboos are really just learned forms of disgust that we picked up from our society.  Matt Hershberger is a writer, librarian, author of two books in the works, and a stay-at-home dad.

    Dr. Geo Banks-Weston: How Social Media Builds Community

    Dr. Geo Banks-Weston was an early adopter of social media.  Back in the day, when filters flooded people's Instagram feeds, he learned just how powerful of a tool it could be in building communities and how digital media as a whole could be leveraged to become a powerful platform for voices of color.  Since starting his blog, Geo's Table, in 2014, Dr. Geo has focused on promoting Black owned restaurants, sharing recipes from the African diaspora, and giving his readers resources on how to support under represented communities in the food industry.  He channeled this passion into his Doctorate of Education in Educational Technology where he further researches how technology can be used to drive diversity and representation in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (AKA the STEAM careers).  In this episode, Dr. Geo shares with host Kae Lani Palmisano how social media and other virtual collaboration tools can be used to build community, offer mentorship, and provide access to other career growth opportunities for underrepresented professionals.  If you're a beginner blogger or an expert whose been in the field for years, this is an episode for you!  If you’re interested in learning more, check out Dr. Geo’s blog, Geostablephl.com and listen to his podcast Table 86 wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Bettina Makalintal: Dining in the Suburbs

    For a long time, food media portrayed the suburbs as a dining wasteland full of chain restaurants and unimaginative menus.  But suburbia is changing. According to Bettina Makalintal, staff writer at Vice Munchies, we should be paying more attention to the evolving suburban foodscape. In a recent series Bettina helped develop called "State of the Suburbs" Bettina and other Vice writers make the case for how the burbs are burgeoning with culinary artisans, local farmers markets and clever restauranteurs taking some pretty ambitious leaps of faith, even in the midst of a global pandemic.   You can find more of Bettina’s work on Vice Munchies.  You can also follow her on Twitter and TikTok @bettinamak and on Instagram @buttina — she also has an inspiring food styling Instagram called @Crispyegg420.

    Emily Contois: Food and Gender

    Why are salads considered feminine? Why is steak seen as a manly meal? Gender and the roles they have come represent is one of the many factors that shape the way our culture perceives food, thus dictating our relationship with eating.  Emily Contois has spent her career as an interdisciplinary researcher and teacher exploring the ways in which gender, power dynamics, marketing and media contort our views on food.  Her recent book, Diners, Dudes and Diets: How Gender and Power Collide in Food Media and Culture is an analysis on the rise of the “Dude" and how Diet culture and marketing companies changed their messaging to target the dude demographic.  In this episode of Amuse-Bouche Emily Contois joins host Kae Lani Palmisano to discuss food and gender, how the Great Recession changed the way marketers position diet programs, how Guy Fieri fuels the dude machine, and ways we can challenge the patriarchy through the media we consume and produce.  You can find more of Emily’s work on her website EmilyContois.com and at @EmilyContois on Instagram and Twitter. And you can buy Diners Dudes and Diets wherever books are sold!  Follow Amuse-Bouche on at @amusebouchepod on Twitter and Instagram and be sure to subscribe to the Amuse-Bouche newsletter on Substack.

    Annemarie Dooling on the sweetness of doing nothing

    Annemarie Dooling is constantly in motion.  When she's not performing her duties as the Engagement Experiences Product Lead with the Wall Street Journal, she's a writer, burlesque dancer, magician, a fan of antiques, and a home cook. Between her job and her cultural pursuits, it's rare for Annemarie to slow down.  But in her recent Wall Street Journal article, "How Being More Productive Starts with Doing Nothing," she's embracing the Italian concept of dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing.  In this episode, Annemarie shares how activities like brewing a pot of old fashioned coffee and constantly whisking the cream and cheese for Cacio e Pepe are opportunities to embrace the nothingness.  You can follow Annemarie Dooling at @TravelingAnna on Twitter and Instagram.  Follow Amuse-Bouche at @AmuseBouchePod on Twitter and Instagram.  For more food stories and recipes, subscribe to the Amuse-Bouche newsletter at amusebouche.substack.com.

    Matt Hershberger is Living La Vida Jersey Fresh

    When Matt Hershberger moved from Cincinnati to New Jersey, he felt a little out of place. Withdrawn from the local community in his new home he started experiencing depression with a whole cavalcade of symptoms that were only exasperated by growing anxieties around climate change and the uncertainty of our planet’s future. Over time, Matt found that making simple things whether it was perfecting his tomato sauce, making bread, or whipping up some fresh pesto with his children, helped to alleviate his depression.  But food became this point of connection to a lot of areas of Matt's life.  Exploring New Jersey's local foodways gave him a meaningful way to interact with his new home state, focusing on local foods gave him actionable ways to help lower his own carbon footprint, cooking has been an enjoyable activity he shares with his family, and starting up a seed library at his local library is helping him spread the word of climate change and food sovereignty.   In this episode, Matt and Kae Lani discuss the many ways that food connects us to the land and each other. Plus, they dig into awesome topics like how Guerilla Gardening can help rebuild local habitats, what small things we can do in our everyday lives to live more sustainably, and how Jersey Fresh blueberries deserve to be a Protected Geographical Indication.
