  • How do we reconcile the rosy bits of history with the uncomfortable parts? How do we embrace it and learn not to repeat it at the same time? How can the food industry become a more just place for people of color?

    Food writer, chef, and Poi Dog owner Kiki Aranita gets deep into her Chinese roots, her profound love of Spam, classic literature, her love of fiber arts, and what life is like for a food entrepreneur — after the restaurant closes.

    And always, COOK. THE. SPAM.
