The Hood Paris: The Pandan Revolution in the 11th Arrondisment

mercredi 1 avril 2026 • Durée 49:10

In the heart of the 11th arrondissement, Abang Brian found home the moment he opened the door to The Hood Paris. A buzzing café and restaurant that has become a soul-restoring haven for modern Asians and a vibrant cultural bridge for Parisians. In this episode, Pearl and Crystal, the co-founders of The Hood, share their incredible journey. They detail how they went from careers in finance and accounting to pioneering Southeast Asian cuisine in one of the world’s most demanding food capitals. Their mission was never just about food; it was about creating a community-driven kopitiam where everyone feels at home, breaking down stereotypes that label Asian food as merely "cheap takeaway." This episode explores the delicate dance of cultural identity in how they adapt the heavy, rich flavours of rendang and Curry Laksa for the French palate, their thoughtful use of MSG, and the audacious idea of pairing Nasi Lemak with natural wine. It’s a story of passion, pride, and the kind of food that is so comforting, it becomes a universal language.

Cashew Chicken Paid My College Tuition — Hsiao-Ching Chou on Chinese Food, Immigrant Hustle & the Breath of the Wok

Saison 3 · Épisode 7

mercredi 25 mars 2026 • Durée 55:14

This week, The Hungry Immigrant travels to rainy Seattle to sit with one of the most important voices in Chinese-American cuisine today.

Hsiao-Ching Chou grew up in her family's Chinese restaurant in Columbia, Missouri — a restaurant that started as takeout from a converted Hardee's and grew into a full buffet. As she puts it herself, cashew chicken and crab rangoon paid for her college education. She went on to become an award-winning food journalist, the author of three cookbooks on Chinese home cooking, and the former chair of the James Beard Foundation's Book Awards Committee.

This conversation goes well beyond recipes. It is about what immigrant hustle really looks like from the inside, why the pursuit of authenticity in food might be the wrong question altogether, and what it means to pass down a culinary identity to the next generation — including co-writing a cookbook with her teenage daughter during the pandemic.

This episode covers:

From a converted Hardee's in Missouri to a 40-seat dining room: the real immigrant restaurant story
Why buffets changed how America eats — and why that is complicated
The one stir-fry mistake everyone makes, and the real secret behind wok hei
Behind the James Beard Foundation: how books are judged, who gets heard, and what equity in food media looks like
"I want to be an influencer and get free food" — what social media gets dangerously wrong about expertise
Feasts of Good Fortune: writing an intergenerational cookbook with her daughter Meilee
The Sambal Survey, Seattle edition
The Hungry Journal closing question: "The story is not over"

Guest: Hsiao-Ching Chou — author of Chinese Soul Food, Vegetarian Chinese Soul Food, and Feasts of Good Fortune (with Meilee Chou Riddle). Former chair of the James Beard Foundation Book Awards Committee.

The Hungry Immigrant is a podcast about Asian food culture, identity, and the stories that connect us across borders. New episodes from Seattle, Paris, Kuala Lumpur, Michigan, New York, and Virginia.

Keep your plates adventurous and your hearts open.
