Pietro Quaglia owns Pietro Nolita, an all pink (some would call it "Millennial Pink") restaurant in NYC. His aesthetic has drawn fans and social media influencers from all over the world to Elizabeth Street to snap pics and model for selfies over bowls of al dente pasta. But Pietro, who didn't have an Instagram account before his restaurant became Insta-famous, says he didn't even know Millennial Pink was a thing when he opened up shop. Now, he's fully embracing the wave of pink adoration...but not without some hiccups and heartbreak along the way. Meant to Be Eaten is powered by Simplecast

When Josh Grinker, chef and co-owner of Kings Co. Imperial started out, he first fell in love with the technique of cooking Chinese food, specifically working the wok. Only years later did the question of cultural appropriation start to arise.

At the end of a long work week, there’s nothing more we love than breaking bread with good company. But what if someone prefers a sourdough over a baguette? A paratha over a pita? Or, is gluten-free? Today we're talking with Dan Pashman, host of The Sporkful podcast, about his recent mini-series, "Your Mom's Food". Dan spoke with 4 families who had been divided over food; through tough conversations with 4 different families, he shows the simple question – “what’s for dinner?” – may not be so simple to answer after all.
Today's episode of Meant to be Eaten follows a conversation between Coral and JT Vuong--head chef at Okonomi in East Williamsburg. Okonomi straddles the line between convention and craze: serving traditional Japanese breakfast by day and not-so-traditional ramen by night. Does Okonomi's stress on locally-sourced ingredients inherently limit its ability to remain wholly traditional? The majority of Okonomi's staff isn't Japanese--how do you learn the subtle nuances of another's culture? Who and what determine "authenticity?" Meant to Be Eaten is powered by Simplecast

We're kicking the season off with an interview with Jeremy Umansky, leader of the koji movement and owner of Larder--an Eastern European deli in Cleveland powered by Japanese ingredient, koji.
