Made a favorite spot the setting for my latest Ca Foodways story! @Cal_Humanities @FERNnews
Stockton's Angel Cruz Park is a destination for made-to-order dishes from Hmong and Cambodian vendors. Locals argue over who has the best beef sticks or papaya salad. Yummy story @cafoodways @KQED #TheCaliforniaReport bit.ly/3SIS2Nz
So pleased that my first piece on @snapjudgment is this incredible story, told by Mas Masumoto. @FERNnews
A young girl was lost to her family. Torn away during the internment of Japanese Americans, institutionalized, and thought to be gone. But now, somehow she is rumored to be alive. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Hollywood writers and actors are on strike, asking for transparency, fair pay, and protection from AI. Others are also impacted by labor disputes. For @cafoodways I share the reporting I did with a Hollywood food stylist (before the strikes began). bit.ly/44BUUhQ

I'll tell you who died in White Lotus: me, after having to listen to all those North American hermit thrushes singing in the background of a Sicilian resort. Those birds aren't found anywhere near Europe!
