Deuki Hong is a San Francisco–based chef and restaurant-empire-builder in the making. He’s also the coauthor of Koreatown: A Cookbook. Here he catches up with his longtime collaborator for a wide-ranging conversation. They hadn’t seen each other in a minute! They discuss the exciting state of Korean cooking in America—and how it’s evolved significantly since the book’s release in early 2016. They also discuss Deuki’s first trip back to Korea since he was born. He covered the Olympics for the Today show, and, as he tells Matt, “It broke everything for me, in a good way. I realized I know nothing about Korean food.” Untrue, but the trip was an amazing revelation for the young chef.Also on the program is Jordana Rothman, restaurant editor of Food and Wine. She and Matt go back a long way, and they discuss the shifts in covering restaurants in the food media world over the past decade. She also discusses the exciting things happening in the restaurant world in lesser-covered cities like Detroit and St. Louis, as well as her strong Instagram game. Hashtag: #BaroqueBreakfast.

On this week's special episode of Cooking Issues, Dave and Nastassia are joined in the studio by Jordana Rothman, Anthony Bozza, Clifton Hyde, and Daniel Gritzer for a tasting and judging of "rockstar" wines, i.e. wines created in collaboration with such rockstars as Les Claypool, Dave Matthews, David Coverdale of Whitesnake, and more!

Kat Kinsman, author and editor, is taking on the subjects rarely discussed in the food world, namely depression, addiction, and burnout. In her talk entitled "Feeding the Beast," presented at this year's Cherry Bombe Jubilee conference, Kat shared her thoughts on helping, healing, and finding a way forward. Kat was welcomed to the stage by her friend, the writer Jordana Rothman. We're sharing both Kat's talk and Jordan's heartfelt introduction on Radio Cherry Bombe today. Kat is doing more than just speaking up. She launched the "Chefs With Issues" website to help others share their stories and find resources. The book about her own struggles, Hi, Anxiety, will be published this November. This talk was part of our third annual Jubilee conference, which was held earlier this year at the High Line Hotel in New York and featured interviews and talks with some of the most interesting women in the world of food. More than 300 guests attend the sold­-out conference each year to network, hear the speakers, and enjoy food from the city’s hottest female-­run businesses.

That’s how the award-winning food writer describes herself on her website. In this week’s conversation, Rothman explains what she means by that. The post Episode 22: Jordana Rothman, Voluptuary appeared first on New Jersey Monthly.

Montville native Rothman, 32, wrote the book on one of the biggest recent trends, tacos, with famed chef Alex Stupak. The post Episode 21: Award-winning Food & Drink Writer Jordana Rothman appeared first on New Jersey Monthly.

Tune in for a brand new episode of Snacky Tunes as Greg Bresnitz is joined in studio by guest co-host Jordana Rothman as well as Anna Polonsky, co-founder of The MP Shift. The MP Shift is a New York based concept, design and branding studio, which specializes primarily in hospitality and lifestyle. Turning clients’ ideas into lasting brands, focusing on every detail from visual identity to the floor tiles, through marketing and events, Anna explains how The MP Shift uses its network of makers and professionals to build their verbal and visual strategy and serve their inspiration, while deliberately avoiding a signature style. Guitarist / crooner Dave Tudi founded Triple Hex in the early oughts in Brooklyn, releasing the rockabilly tinged Phantom Highway 13 EP in 2006 on Thigh High Records. The band followed up with extensive touring throughout Europe in 2007 before releasing a Stooges-esque three track 7” entitled Scratch My Back. The band went through a couple lineup changes before enlisting Miss Chip on 60s electric organ to release their self titled full length LP on Lucinda Records in Spain and Thigh High in the US. The band released another EP entitled Triple Hex E.P. in 2013 on Mon Amie Records. The band added Lyla Vander on drums in 2015 and their sound has progressed over the years to their current incarnation. Triple Hex returns with a new full length LP called Bust For Life that will resonate with fans of Bauhaus, 70s NYC rock n roll, and Factory Records. Dave Tudi’s gloomy songwriting style juxtaposes with the carousing, carnal aesthetic a la Serge Gainsbourg or Marquis De Sade. Triple Hex invokes the gestalt of nightlife in their album, creating a gritty, glamorous experience that leaves you feeling slightly used yet wanting more. Triple Hex’s Bust For Life will be released later this year on Death Goat Records. The first single “Dead Stars” will drop February 19th with accompanying video produced and directed by Violet Shuraka. The album was recorded and produced by Matt Verta-Ray (Heavy Trash, Madder Rose, Speedball Baby), at NYHed Studios.

Over the past few years, tacos have risen from humble street food (and Americanized fast food) to trendy options at a growing number of restaurants. A staple of Mexican cuisine, they’ve been adopted by different cultures and are even showing up on brunch and dessert menus. On this week’s Please Explain, Chef Alex Stupak, owner of the Empellón restaurant group, and food writer Jordana Rothman, will tell us how to make fresh tortillas, salsas, moles, as well as traditional and modern fillings. They'll also share tips and recipes from their book Tacos: Recipes and Provocations.   Do you have questions about tacos? Send us your questions in a comment below, or let us know on Twitter or Facebook! Recipe: Tacos al Pastor (From Tacos: Recipes and Provocations by Alex Stupak & Jordana Rothman) Short of investing in a vertical broiler, this hack is the closest you’ll get to al pastor tacos at home. We tend to think of pork shoulder as something that needs to be braised, but a well-butchered shoulder steak given a swift ride on a ripping hot grill can be a thing of beauty—the wide surface area means more of that good Maillard char you want from al pastor. Take your time when slicing the finished meat: thin, bias-cut slivers are the ideal texture here. MAKES 12 TACOS ADVANCE PREPARATION 1 cup Adobo (see below) Salsa Roja (see below), for serving Raw Salsa Verde (see below), for serving FOR THE FILLING Vegetable oil, for the grill Four 1⁄2-inch-thick boneless pork shoulder steaks (2 pounds total) Kosher salt, as needed TO ASSEMBLE THE TACOS 1⁄4 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 24 even slices 1⁄2 medium white onion, minced 60 cilantro leaves (from about 15 sprigs), roughly chopped 2 limes, each cut into 6 wedges 1 recipe Corn or Flour Tortillas MAKE THE FILLING: Preheat a grill to the hottest possible setting and brush with vegetable oil. Slather about 1 cup of the Adobo all over the pork steaks and season liberally with salt. Place the pork steaks on the hot grill and cook for 3 minutes. Rotate 45 degrees and cook for another 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for 3 minutes. The finished steaks should have visible charred grill marks. Remove from the grill, transfer to a plate, and set aside to rest in a warm place. Make one batch of tortillas and hold them warm. Cut the pork steaks against the grain and on the bias—you want the slices to be as thin as possible, almost shaved, to achieve the right tenderness and texture for al pastor. ASSEMBLE THE TACOS: Lay out the warm tortillas on serving plates. Evenly distribute the grilled pork and the pineapple slices among the tortillas. Top with some of the Salsa Roja and Raw Salsa Verde, along with the minced onion and chopped cilantro. Squeeze a couple of the lime wedges over the tacos and serve the rest on the side. ADOBO Masa may be the bedrock of Mexican cuisine, but adobo is what makes it sing. The dried chile paste is a component in countless dishes, slathered on robust meats like the pork for Al Pastor Tacos and the lamb for the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos. The dried chile and aromatic spice flavors in this paste are versatile, so adobo is a useful thing to have around to add instant depth—try thinning it with oil and using it to dress a hearty vegetable, like asparagus. Adobo will last 1 week in the refrigerator, and 1 month in an airtight container in the freezer. MAKES ABOUT 2 1⁄3 CUPS 8 ancho chiles 8 guajillo chiles 1 chipotle morita chile 3 whole cloves 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin seeds One 2-inch stick of canela (Mexican cinnamon) 1 teaspoon black peppercorns 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano 20 garlic cloves, skins on 1 cup cider vinegar Remove the stems from the chiles and tear the chiles open. Shake out and discard the seeds. Tear the chiles into small pieces. Set a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the cloves, cumin seeds, canela, black peppercorns, and oregano; toast, shaking the pan, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Remove the spices from the heat, transfer to a spice grinder, and grind to a fine powder. Reheat the skillet over medium heat. Toast the ancho, guajillo, and chipotle morita chiles, turning from time to time until you see the first wisp of smoke, about 30 seconds. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, cover with hot tap water, and place a heavy plate over the chiles to keep them submerged. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Add the garlic cloves to the skillet and roast, turning them from time to time, until softened slightly and blackened in spots, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the garlic from the skillet, and set aside to cool at room temperature. Once the cloves are cool enough to handle, peel them and discard the skins. Drain the chiles and place in a blender along with the ground spices, roasted garlic, and vinegar, and puree to a paste. You may need to add a bit of water to the blender to help the chiles pass easily through the blades. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use. SALSA ROJA Salsa roja and salsa verde are the ebony and ivory of the salsa universe: Whereas verde supplies brightness and clean, sharp heat, roja offers gentle spice and dried-herb warmth. It makes sense that the two keep such close company—you’ll encounter versions of both at nearly every taqueria in Mexico. For my salsa roja, I looked to guajillo chile, one of the workhorses of the Mexican pantry. Cheap and ubiquitous, these dried peppers impart the mild heat, distinctive berry-like aroma, and deep, rusty hue that define a good roja. MAKES ABOUT 2 CUPS 2 plum tomatoes 10 guajillo chiles 1 chipotle morita chile 1⁄2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano 1⁄8 teaspoon cumin seeds 5 garlic cloves, skins on 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon cider vinegar Preheat the broiler. Roast the tomatoes on a baking sheet under the broiler until blackened in spots, about 7 minutes. Turn them over and continue to blacken, about another 7 minutes. Remove from the broiler and set aside to cool at room temperature. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel the tomatoes and discard the skins. Remove the stems from the guajillo and chipotle chiles and tear them open. Shake out and discard the seeds. Remove and discard the veins. Set a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the oregano and cumin seeds and toast briefly, shaking the pan, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Remove from the heat, transfer to a spice grinder, and grind to a fine powder. Reheat the skillet over medium heat. Toast the guajillo and chipotle chiles, turning them from time to time until you see the first wisp of smoke, about 45 seconds. Remove pan from heat, and transfer the chiles to a bowl. Cover them with hot tap water and place a heavy plate over the chiles to keep them submerged. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Add the garlic cloves to the skillet and roast, turning them from time to time until softened slightly and blackened in spots, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the garlic from the skillet, and set aside to cool at room temperature. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel the garlic cloves and discard the skins. Drain the soaked chiles and discard the liquid. Place them in a blender along with the ground spices and roasted garlic, the salt, sugar, cider vinegar, and ¼ cup water. Puree on high speed until completely smooth, working in batches if necessary. Set up a medium-mesh sieve over a bowl and pass the puree through the strainer. Transfer to a container or refrigerate until ready to use. The salsa will keep for up to 3 days. RAW SALSA VERDE Raw ingredients speak (shout, actually) for themselves in this purist salsa verde. It’s all about the green apple acidity of ripe tomatillo, the heat of untreated chiles, and the garlicky sting right up front. MAKES ABOUT 1 CUP 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 serrano chiles, stemmed and roughly chopped 1⁄2 medium white onion, minced 3–4 medium tomatillos (about 5 ounces total), husked, rinsed, patted dry, and diced 1 teaspoon honey 40 cilantro leaves (from about 10 sprigs), roughly chopped EQUIPMENT: Molcajete* Place the garlic in the molcajete with the salt and crush to a paste using the tejolote. Add the chiles and minced onion to the paste and crush to a coarse texture. Add the tomatillos and continue crushing with the tejolote until pulpy. Season with the honey and stir with a spoon. Add the chopped cilantro and stir to combine. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use. The finished salsa is best eaten the day it is made; if you want to work ahead, don’t add the cilantro to the salsa until the day you plan to serve it. *If you don’t have a molcajete, prep all the ingredients as instructed and add them, minus the cilantro, at once to the jar of a blender. Pulse to combine then stir in the chopped cilantro. “Recipe reprinted from TACOS: RECIPES AND PROVOCATIONS by Alex Stupak and Jordana Rothman. Copyright ©2015 by Empellon Holdings LLC.

She was the food and drink editor of Time Out New York for six years. Rothman is a frequent contributor to print and digital publications such as Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, New York Magazine, Cherry Bombe, MadFeed, and Conde Nast Traveler. Rothman also once challenged competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi to a hot dog eating contest. She lost. Yotam Ottolenghi is the vegetable champion, author of the much ­loved cookbooks Plenty and Plenty More, and philosopher chef (as The New Yorker called him). He also co­authored Ottolenghi and Jerusalem with Sami Tamimi. All four books were New York Times bestsellers. His latest book, Nopi, written with Chef Ramael Scully, celebrates his London restaurant of the same name. Yotam writes for The Guardian, appears on the BBC, and made the BBC4 documentary, “Jerusalem on a Plate.” Ramael Scully was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and started his culinary career at the age of 17 in Sydney, Australia. Now head chef at Nopi, Scully first worked under Yotam Ottolenghi in 2004 at his namesake restaurant Ottolenghi. Scully’s distinct culinary heritage—the Malaysian flavors of his childhood, his training in the European tradition, his insatiable appetite for Asian ingredients—has been the creative force behind much of what is on the Nopi menu. var array = eval('[{"alt":"","caption":"Photo by Daniel Krieger","description":"","href":"http://heritageradionetwork.org/podcast/yotam-ottolenghi-nopi-restaurant-and-taco-talk/jordanarothman-photocredit-daniel_krieger/","src":"http://heritageradionetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/JordanaRothman-PHOTOCREDIT-DANIEL_KRIEGER.jpg","title":"Jordana Rothman","0":"http://heritageradionetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/JordanaRothman-PHOTOCREDIT-DANIEL_KRIEGER.jpg","1":640,"2":640,"3":false},{"alt":"","caption":"Photo by Jonathan Lovekin","description":"","href":"http://heritageradionetwork.org/podcast/yotam-ottolenghi-nopi-restaurant-and-taco-talk/yotam-and-scully_credit-jonathan-lovekin/","src":"http://heritageradionetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Yotam-and-Scully_credit-Jonathan-Lovekin.jpg","title":"Yotam and Scully","0":"http://heritageradionetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Yotam-and-Scully_credit-Jonathan-Lovekin-900x1350.jpg","1":640,"2":960,"3":true}]'); galleryArrays.push(array); document.write(""); > #### “As Americans, we tend to think about beef, pork, and carnitas, but really it’s a vegetable based cuisine.” [18:15] –Jordana Rothman on Radio Cherry Bombe “You can do a lot with veggies if you put your heart into it.” [36:50] –Raemel Scully on Radio Cherry Bombe “I would like to see the democratization of food carrying on… the fact that everybody in food is allowed in.” [45:20] –Yotam Ottolenghi on Radio Cherry Bombe  

This week on Snacky Tunes, Greg Bresnitz and guest co-host Jordana Rothman kick off the summer solstice with guest Angelo Romano of Rocky Slims in the Murray Hill neighborhood in NYC. Angelo shares his background in food and how he came to open his own restaurant featuring his own brand of Italian-American cuisine that uses carefully sourced ingredients that are transformed into flavorful compositions with a focus on extracting maximum flavor. Angelo also reveals his goal at Rocky Slims is to offer an array of new Italian-American cuisine experiences in the space, from the organic flours used to make the square pizzas, the local salumi, the pastas, the contornis and the brick oven slice shop in the back. After the break, Greg welcomes musical guest Strange Names. Hailing from Minneapolis,the guys explain how they formed and made their way to the east coast, plus details surrounding their new record that was re-recorded and produced with Andrew Maury. Tune in for a great show! This program was brought to you by Bonnie Plants. “Pizza wasn’t anything I ever was interested in. It’s also hard as s**** to make 200 pizzas a day, it’s an art form…the variable for execution and consistency is so skewed, every single one, it’s ballsy thing. I don’t think it gets enough respect.” [7:13] “A big part of the job is managing and fine tuning. I think those are the two key points in making really amazing restaurants consistent all the time and also, in theory, you want it to always be like this, consistently awesome day in and day out.” [12:25] —Angelo Romano on Snacky Tunes

This week on Snacky Tunes, Darin Bresnitz and guest co-host Jordana Rothman, Food & Drink Editor at Time Out New York, flip the normal show format and welcome the musical guest Tal National with an energetic, danceable tune! Hailing from Niamey, the capital city of Niger, their music is joyously hypnotic, a highly unique contribution to West African guitar music. With its lightening fast rhythms and rotating cast of vocalists, this makes for a unique Snacky Tunes experience! Darin and Jordana ask how a group known for its five hour sets can contain that energy in an album that only lasts so long, such as their new album Zoy Zoy, out now on Fat Cat Records. Have they enjoyed their time in NYC? Have they found good Nigerian food on the road? Tune in for answers and amazing live music. In the second half of the show, Heritage Radio Network host of The Main Course and neighbor/owner of Momo Sushi Shack, Phillip Gilmour joins in the fun talking about his new sandwich shop venture “Hi Hello!” located off the Jefferson subway stop in Brooklyn. Talking about why he decided to go from sushi to the sandwich biz, Phil elaborates how disappointed he’d been in other sandwiches and how he decided to change that for himself. Sifting through interesting ingredient combinations as well as Jordana’s thoughts on brunch, Phil shares thoughts on being a restauranteur and the message he’s trying to spread with food. This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market. “What makes a bad sandwich is people either don’t use enough salt, enough spice, or enough acid.” [35:44] “I’m not a one trick pony. I’m not just obsessed with Japanese things, I’m obsessed with life!” [54:08] —Phillip Gilmour on Snacky Tunes

This week on a brand new Snacky Tunes, hosts Greg and Darin Bresnitz welcome food writer Jordana Rothman, musical guest Odetta Hartman, and HRN Executive Producer Jack Inslee to the show. Kicking off the episode with Jordana and her recent ventures, she shares that she just finished her first book “Tacos: Recipes + Provocations” which she co-authored with chef Alex Stupak of New York’s Empellón restaurants. Jordana gives the guys a rundown of what to expect from the book’s recipes as well as thoughts surrounding the perceptions of Mexican food and how they are evolving. Jordana also offers her thoughts on food trends on the rise from up and coming cities to commenting on the location of this year’s James Beard Awards to things to keep an eye out for in 2015. In the second half of the show, Greg and Darin bring on musical guest Odetta Hartman to perform a few live tunes from soon-to-be released new album “222”! Going back through Odetta’s history, as it turns out, her parents are responsible for starting up Two Boots Pizza. She goes on to share that her parents were an integral part of her love of music and that she’s continually inspired by the students she teaches at the Lower East Side Girls Club. Tune in to find out where you can find Odetta Hartman in the coming year and where you can get at her new material! This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market. “For one thing I think it’s [Mexican food] a deeply misunderstood cuisine in the United States in particular, and really around the world.” [9:35] “The biggest love story that I have to talk about is tortillas.” [14:50] “It’s this notion of sprawl, you know, these trends they start in New York or LA or San Francisco and then they become so wide spread.” [32:25] —Jordana Rothman on Snacky Tunes “Now that I’ve melded folk with a little bit of electronica I’m interested in seeing if maybe I can write a house tune or something like that.” [64:00] “A lot of this record has been grounded in portable field recordings… a lot of the songs are tellings stories so we were able to create these audio landscapes around the songs.” [71:35] —Odetta Hartman on Snacky Tunes

The one and only Jordana Rothman rejoins Damon Boelte on The Speakeasy for a candid thirty minute conversation on everything from leather aged cocktails to national spirit trends.

Damon and Jordana asses some of the things going on across the country in the world of cocktails and spirits and give listeners some real insight, tips and takeaways. This program was brought to you by The International Culinary Center. “I’m doing less service style journalism and more bigger conversation stories now.” [08:00] “I have some triggers around the hipster whiskeys that are made [at a facility] in Indiana but the consumer thinks they’re having something distilled and bottled locally. There’s a real lack of consumer education around that. Everybody thinks they’re having one thing but there’a a lot of labeling noise.” [12:00] –Jordana Rothman on The Speakeasy

On this Mother’s Day episode of Snacky Tunes, Greg returns! He and Darin bring in food & drink writer Jordana Rothman.

We’re gearing up for warm weather on this week’s episode of Snacky Tunes! Greg and Darin Bresnitz start off the show by calling up James Casey, the founder of Swallow Magazine.

This program has been sponsored by Tekserve. “The baseball card aesthetic really encapsulates the spirit of The Great Googa Mooga, which is a really colorful, playful, and vintage vibe.” [21:45] — Jordana Rothman on Snacky Tunes

It’s our favorite time of the year on Snacky Tunes and Jordana Rothman is back to recap the year in food and make predictions for 2013. Which predictions from last years show came true? What will be hot in 2013? Why does Jordana hate brunch so much?!? The answers to all of these questions and more can be found in an extra special double-length episode of Snacky Tunes.

This week on Snacky Tunes it’s time for another trend report with TimeOut New York’s own Jordana Rothman. Tune in as she joins hosts Greg and Darin Bresnitz for a recap of last years trends–see what scored (local distilleries) and what flopped (tiki bars). Wanna know what is gonna be trending in 2012? We won’t spoil it here but be sure to be look out for the NoMad, light coffee roasts, modern Jewish food, and Pok Pok among other things. So listen up and get on the inside and with this exclusive episode of Snacky Tunes. This episode is sponsored by Whole Foods Market. “Restaurants have kinda flaunted the rules. We’re paying less attention to what a western Continental restaurant should be like.” “I think a lot of new breweries and microbreweries focus on innovation and technology rather than consistency and Bronx Brewery can be commended for focusing on one thing” “Dark roasting came out of the west coast and it was something that was used to char and mask the flavors of sub-par beans.” “I think that 2012 has been set up to be a year of personal restaurants, I think we are going to see idiosyncratic talents come to the fore.” “Everyone needs to chill out about the Time’s [restaurant critic] seat, things change over time.” –Jordana Rothman of Time Out New York on Snacky Tunes
