If you enjoy this show and would like to help me spread the word about it, or support it financially, you can find out more at nuancespod.com/support GUEST BIO Jenny is a professional chef and food writer, researcher, and educator who studies food as the foundation for human meaning-making and identity formation. She holds a Master of Education from Harvard University and is currently a Fulbright-National Geographic Fellow in Singapore, researching food security in the context of hawker centres. Jenny is an IACP-winning photographer, James Beard Awards-nominated writer, and has been named an industry Game Changer by Food & Wine and a Trailblazing Activist by the World's 50 Best. In pre-pandemic 2020, she also gave a TEDx titled, How Food Can Be A Source of Identity, Intimacy, and Vulnerability.. Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedIn | Web MENTIONED Reem's Billie Eilish's book flops Jenny's TEDx Talk TAKEAWAYS The people we advocate for should be the ones dictating what advocacy looks like for their cause. Food is inherently political. Most books don't sell well - something to keep in mind if you're going to invest time and energy writing one. The U.S. has many of the pieces that could be leveraged for a more equitable future but we've been brainwashed to fear socialism. Aligning our business practices with our values can have significant positive impact within our own spheres of influence. Immigrant parents often struggle with their kids choosing a career that isn't seen as "moving up in the world" and while their fears around financial stability are understandable, there is an element of classism there that we need to acknowledge and work on. Recipes using grams are much easier to replicate accurately than those using cups and arbitrary units like "one onion". The US gallon isn't the same as the Imperial gallon.

Join us for a captivating conversation with Chef Jenny Dorsey, a professional chef, author, speaker, and recent graduate of Harvard University's Master's Program in Education. As the co-founder of Studio ATAO, an award-winning 501(c)3 nonprofit think tank, Jenny is at the forefront of defining more equitable standards for the food, beverage, and hospitality industry. In this episode, she sits down with Tembi to discuss: Her mission to use culinary arts as a platform for introspection, empathy, and real emotion. Jenny's work focuses on making food a driver of social impact and change, challenging social norms and provoking thought through her culinary creations. Her journey from working as a management consultant in the fashion industry and the youngest MBA candidate at Columbia Business School to finding her true calling in culinary arts, and using her experiences to fuel her passion for social change. The role of vulnerability in the dining experience, and how she confronts the complexity of identity in her work, often creating environments that deliberately evoke discomfort as a means to engage in honest conversation.

85: How Food "Authenticity" Commodifies Identities with Jenny Dorsey

AnthroDish

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 1, 2020 42:35


We’ve seen food media really start to crack when grappling this summer with who can cook what, and for who. The power that recipe production and food media has on flattening complex marginalized identities into harmful stereotypes while white chefs appropriate cultural dishes for their own prestige has become a much bigger conversation. But how does the idea of authenticity shape power and privilege in cooking? And what are the particular ways that commodifying identities can harm BIPOC chefs and restaurant owners? Today chef and activist Jenny Dorsey is here to explore these further. She founded and runs the incredible Studio ATAO, a non-profit that creates immersive experiences at the centre of food, art, and social impact. Jenny is a first-generation Chinese American who has worked in Michelin-starred restaurants. In 2014, she pivoted to impact-driven culinary work, which eventually led to the formation of Studio ATAO. It’s best known for Asian in America, a public exhibition that explores the narrative of Asian American identity through food and drink courses, VR, spoken word, and poetry, and they’re also know for their free, collaborative community resources that address social impact topics. Since the onset of the pandemic, she and her team have put their public and live events on hold, but they’ve continued to create online content and educational resources that address pertinent issues in the food world and beyond, from Recognizing, Disrupting & Preventing Tokenization in Food Media to Understanding Anti-Intellectualism. Today on the show we’re unpacking the idea of authenticity in food, and how it ties in deeply to the commodification of marginalized identities, as well as the ways she’s challenging this through her exhibits, resources, and impact-driven culinary work.  Learn More About Jenny & Studio ATAO!

On this week's episode of Meat and Three, we explore what happens when food is consumed through a screen. From a simple TV or computer monitor to the more complex VR goggles, the sensory experience of food is fundamentally shifted with the mediation of a virtual barrier. Kat Johnson first ponders the significance (or lack thereof) of fruit cameos on cable news. Next, Tash Kimmel looks at how urban foraging is aided through a virtual platform. We then move to the world of virtual reality. Emily Kunkel examines how VR can be used to unlock new therapeutic and utilitarian applications of food, and Dylan Heuer talks with Jenny Dorsey about how she uses VR to bring political and metaphorical meaning to the dinner party format. Further Reading:Learn more about Asian in America and Studio ATAO.Keep Meat and Three on the air: become an HRN Member today!

Jenny Dorsey is professional chef, writer and artist.  She makes food to express the full range of human emotions, even those not well-suited for Instagram.  She believes food has a special way of exposing the banal routine and social norms we find ourselves in. It can be a powerful medium for storytelling and create a place for genuine interaction, if we choose to use it as such.  Her mission is to use culinary arts as a platform to evoke introspection, empathy and real emotion. Sometimes her food or the environments she creates make people uncomfortable, and that's the point.  She doesn't plan on being complicit with the way things are, she wants to change the world with her art, even if it's just one honest conversation at a time. Jenny shares how facing her issues is what helped her build her confidence to be the person that she is today.  Tune into her episode to listen to her story.

You can pursue a traditional career and yet still approach it in a unique way, making it your own, and that is the basis for today's interview. Prior to crafting her own career path, Jenny Dorsey was a management consultant in the fashion industry and went on to become the youngest MBA candidate in Columbia Business School. But it was then during a sabbatical between leaving her job and moving onto business school that she decided to enroll in cooking school. At the time, cooking was nothing more than a hobby and something she pursued purely out of her passion for food. Once she went back to her original path of business school, she realized something had changed and it no longer aligned with her. This lead to her final decision to pursue food instead. Throughout her journey in the culinary world, she worked both traditional and un-traditional kitchen jobs that eventually lead her to where she is today. Currently, Jenny is a professional chef, author, and artist specializing in multi-platform fusing food with social good. She uses cooking as a way to facilitate conversations about topics like race, privilege, and politics. She leads a nonprofit studio, Studio ATAO, is the co-host of Why Food? podcast on Heritage Radio Network, and runs a popular popup series named Wednesdays. Jenny's story is so inspiring because she could have easily taken the traditional route with her cooking career. She could have become a chef and considered that the end goal, but she didn't. Instead, she found a way to think outside of the box and combine all of her passions into a fulfilling career.   Here is what we chat about in this episode: How there are many ways to do something. That it's normal to feel panicked when you don't know where your path is headed. Why you shouldn't do something just because you're good at it. How Jenny combines food and conversations about social topics. And so much more!
