Episode 12: Chorizo and Eggs with Nicole Fox

In a slight deviation in programming, we’re sneaking in at the end of Hispanic Heritage Month with our first non-Asian guest! This episode we bring on long time friend of Freesia’s and #1 WQC super fan Nicole Fox. Despite her non-Asianness Nicole almost always finds something relatable to her own life and experiences in our episodes. Because maybe food is the great equalizer and maybe growing up not white in this pretty white society is weird, no matter what your culture. 

Anyway, on this episode we talk about her dad’s weekend breakfasts of chorizo and eggs, how the loss of an elder can be felt for generations, and, surprise surprise, how cooking your own culture’s food can be super intimidating. 

Plus we talk about store bought tortillas as feminist icons, how the Mission-style burrito is superior to all others, including its superior delivery technique—a hill we’re both ready to ☠️ on—and Mexican v Spanish chorizo (and an honorable mention to soyrizo 😬). Also we dunk on our high school Spanish teacher. Sorry not sorry Señor Stevens.
