It’s a cultural thing. And that intersection of what makes food possible to me is the most central part of why we do what we do - to examine that question and be able to tell stories about a culture through the food to me is what it’s all about. I am obsessed with food and with eating. … So to have the opportunity to sit on, you know, in a street corner in a suburb of Louisiana and have a Vietnamese grandpa make me duck blood pizza the same way his grandparents made it for him when he was a kid in Dien Bien Phu is to me what a food life is all about.
