The NotAFoodie PodcastJenn de la Vega is in the House! Plus, ”White People Food”, and that Yeti Cast Iron Pan is HOW MUCH???!!What an absolute joy it was to talk to Jenn de la Vega (AKA @randwiches)! To simply list all of the things that Jenn does (caterer, producer, author, cookbook collaborator, recipe developer, food stylist, reality show contestant, food judge, Twitch TV host, etc.) would be a disservice. She is creative, hard working, smart, and the perfect example of designing a life for yourself around the things that you are passionate about. She talks about her life in food competitions, catering, sending random sandwiches to people, and her absolute love of manga and anime.

Tokyo Ale Works, a brewery in Tokyo, debuted its Kani Burger. Kani means crab in Japanese and the burger swaps out deep fried soft shell crab for buns, and crabmeat, lettuce, and tomatoes in between the 2 crab “buns”. This is essentially the KFC Double Down, on steroids and fancy. The burger looks so good that Bettina Makalintal from Munchies declared that “All burgers should have entire deep fried crab instead of buns” and I would have to agree.

Eater’s Ryan Sutton reviewed some of the most anticipated restaurants in NYC’s newest “neighborhood” and outside of David Chang’s Kawi, hated them all. He summarized Estiatorio Milos, a high-end greek seafood restaurant, “That’s the thing about Milos. You can have a reasonably grand meal here. You can have a reasonably average meal here. And yet the one constant is that on every visit, you feel cheated.” So he awarded it and Wild Ink both 0/4 Stars. He did award Milos Wine Bar 2/4 and David Chang’s Kawi 3/4 Stars.

Tasty Tomatoes and Affordable Vineyards
Have you ever wondered why store-bought tomatoes never taste as good as ones grown from the garden or at the farmer's market? Scientist's have discovered that 93 percent of modern, domesticated tomato varieties are actually missing the gene that gives tomatoes their flavor.
A study of genomic information of 725 wild and domestic tomatoes was compared to the domestic tomato Heinz 1706. A side by side comparison showed that the Heinz 1706 was missing close to 5,000 genomes that the others had. Besides making the tomato...

I personally don’t have a problem with someone opening up a restaurant serving food from ethnicities or cultures not their own, as long as they respect it.
Haspel is not respecting Chinese culture by playing into awful stereotypes about Chinese Food being greasy and making you feel bloated. Don’t even get me started on MSG. In the ’50s and ’60s, Chinese Restauran...
