On this episode we are delighted to have all-around-knowledgeable-and-thoughtful-food-person, former SF Chronicle food critic, current columnist, and cookbook author Soleil Ho! They talk about the dish bahn khot, and eating it fresh off the griddle while their grandmother kept slinging it out, short order cook-style for many, many grandchildren, and why it's so hard to find a good one outside of Vietnam. We talk about Soleil's journey from a baby gourmand to full-blown professional gourmand, a possible time-travel moment, and braising lamb on a campus full of vegans. Plus cookbooks that are more than instruction manuals, life after being a restaurant critic, and the pleasing excess of the Rancho Gordo Bean club. Bonus: listen for three Vietnamese restaurant recommendations! Bonus-bonus: listen until the end for our impromptu Robocop pod!!
Jonathan Shewchuk is a Berkeley Computer Science professor and somewhat of a controversial figure who is known for offensive comments towards women. When asked for dating advice on a class online forum, he advised the student to leave the Bay Area and head to a place where women are plentiful and know how to act (we're paraphrasing here but also that was the subtext of the Professor's response). Because it is Berkley and because it is the 21st century and because it is reality, his comments received some criticism. Professor Shewchuk apologized but was he truly sorry? Following is the fun AI recap and we know we have a fan somewhere in the computer brain of the internet! Turning the spotlight on societal norms, online conduct, and the consequences of overlooking such matters, this episode focuses on 'casual' misogyny in classrooms and the power dynamics in academia. It also considers the evolving identity of San Francisco, the shifting liberalism in Bay Area, and the questionable dating dynamics of a region where gender imbalances are prominent. This riveting discussion doesn't stop at apologies alone; the hosts also engage with an engrossing article by Soleil Ho from San Francisco Chronicle that deals with coded language and divisive values. The episode ends with a critical evaluation of personal honesty in professional representation, consumer expectations, and a historical examination of biblical figures - all while cracking down on harmful stereotypes.
Soleil Ho is an opinion editor at the San Francisco Chronicle who recently covered the Berkeley-based writer and wannabe California governor Michael Shellenberger. In Shellenberger's last book, San Fransicko, he says rising homelessness rates in West Coast cities comes from us "loving victims" too much. Shellenberger's latest escapade: positioning himself as an expert on trans people. Soleil breaks it down.

The Fifth & Mission team is not producing any new episodes this week. Instead, we are sharing some of our favorite past episodes that exemplify what we've loved about making this show. Today's pick is from audio engineer Gary Baca. La Cocina Municipal Marketplace was heralded as a springboard for immigrant- and women-owned food businesses when it opened in 2021. Now, its food kiosks are closing down. Opinion columnist Soleil Ho and food reporter Mario Cortez join host Cecilia Lei to discuss whether the closure is a symptom of the city's larger struggles and what the loss means for the food hall's resident vendors and Tenderloin neighbors. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?

At an upscale San Francisco restaurant, diners recently got a taste of chicken that was never part of a bird. The companies developing lab-grown meat say cultivating flesh instead of raising livestock could reduce animal cruelty and the environmental impacts of our food. But how far away are those goals? And more importantly, how does it taste? Producer Keith Menconi picks up his fork — and talks with Chronicle food and wine editor Janelle Bitker and columnist Soleil Ho — to find out. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?

Chris and Jonathan talk to Michelle Cohen, MD, CCFP, FCFP, an assistant professor at Queen University's Department of Family Medicine and a staff physician at Lakeview Family Health Team. Dr. Cohen provides gender-affirming care and is here to dispel myths surrounding trans people, especially the panic around the mistaken idea that children are being rushed to transition. If you have a child who is questioning their gender identity, make sure to listen to this episode before reading what the media typically reports on trans issues. Of note, the “1 Million March for Children” is scheduled to take place on September 20th across Canada. It is part of our current anti-trans panic, with the organizers claiming to “peacefully protest against the push for LGBT ideology in schools.” (2:10) What is gender-affirming care and how easy is it to access?

When Soleil Ho started at the San Francisco Chronicle as restaurant critic in 2019, they were widely hailed as exemplifying the “next generation” of criticism. Ho 86'd the star system, shifted away from breathless coverage of the glitziest restaurants and brought a social justice lens to their reviews. But a year into Ho's ambitious overhaul, the COVID pandemic hit and the future of the entire restaurant industry was in question. “The moment marked an abrupt transition in what I thought, to be honest, was going to be a pretty straightforward job of eating stuff and writing fun things about it,” Ho wrote last week in an article announcing that they were stepping away from the position. "All of sudden, dining out became literally a matter of life and death.” As part of our All You Can Eat series with KQED food editor Luke Tsai, we talk with Soleil Ho about food criticism, the changing role of the critic and the state of the Bay Area's pandemic shaken food scene.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 14, 2022 is: festoon fess-TOON verb Festoon means "to cover or decorate (something) with many small objects, pieces of paper, etc.," or "to hang decorative chains or strips on." // Tiny wildflowers festooned the meadow. // The students festooned the gymnasium with streamers and bunting for the dance. See the entry > Examples: “The budget-conscious will appreciate that the restaurant's heartier dishes, like the wood-fired pork chop festooned with sweet farmers' market nectarines and toasted hazelnuts, are all less than $30 apiece.” – Soleil Ho, The San Francisco Chronicle, 15 Apr. 2022 Did you know? The noun festoon first appeared in the 1600s when it was used, as it still is today, to refer to decorative chains or strips hung between two points. (It can also refer to a carved, molded, or painted ornament representing such a chain.) After a century's worth of festoon-adorning, the verb festoon made an entrance, and people began to festoon with their festoons—that is, they draped and adorned with them. The verb has since then acquired additional, more general senses related not only to decorating, but to something appearing on the surface of something, as in “a sweater festooned with purple unicorns.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, this celebratory-sounding and party-associated word traces back (by way of French and Italian) to Latin festa, the plural of festum, meaning “festival.”

We have big news. Our beloved hosts are starting amazing new chapters in their lives: Soleil is settling in as food critic for The San Francisco Chronicle, and Zahir is now in his first year of fiction writing at the University of Michigan. What does that mean for Racist Sandwich? For now, we'll be taking some time off to reflect and to plan for the future of the podcast. We (co-producers Stephanie and Juan) are working hard to figure out how we can continue to bring you all more conversations about food, race, class and gender. Thank you for being a listener, a supporter and a friend. Stay tuned! Follow us on Twitter and Instagram and like our Facebook page.

Alicia talks to Soleil Ho, food writer, host of B***h Media’s Popaganda podcast, and co-host of the Racist Sandwich Podcast. She’s co-authored a graphic novel about the professional and romantic life of a young chef with artist Blue Delliquanti called Meal: Adventures in Entomophagy—that’s eating insects, a field Soleil has become an expert in. They talk about the book, the tech industry’s obsession with cricket flour, and what it all means for vegans and vegetarians.
