Summary

Last week was loco but we got Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast this week to make sure this week doesn’t suck! Michelle joined us to answer the question “Is Not Knowing How You Feel Asian or Not Asian?”. We get into what it felt like getting texts from friends asking “are you ok?” Re: Georgia attack, the significance of H Mart, and how Asian people macgyver their way into making Asian food when they live in a white town.
