We’re joined by Jenny Acosta, food-embedded designer and native Brooklynite. We talk about her Hainanese mixed heritage, food as a love language, and living with parents as an adult. Also, Kate makes her boyfriend try a bunch of new food, and Yoko pops a question.

Jenny’s website is jennyacosta.com, and you can follow her on Instagram @hennyhomeslice.

So Where Are They Now?

Our first SWATN (So Where Are They Now?) features Kevin Huynh, our very first guest (and Yoko’s fiancé!). Since we talked to him in Episode 2, he wrote and published a book??? It’s called Get Together, a guidebook on how to build a community. We’re so dang proud of him, obviously. Learn more at gettogetherbook.com and buy it on Amazon!

Model Minorities

Yoko’s model minority is Christina Chaey, associate editor at Bon Appétit. We love when she makes an appearance on Gourmet Makes, and want to see more!

Kate’s model minority is Michelle Elman, body confidence coach. Check out this incredible photo shoot she organized, featuring a diversity of plus-sized Asian models 😍
