In this episode of No Coast Oriental, James and Stevie talk about food, namely the food they ate growing up and the food they enjoy now. Join us as we complain about the lack of great Asian restaurants in our hometown, the &quot;weird&quot; food we ate growing up, food censorship in children&apos;s anime, and whether or not homemade is better than store-bought when it comes to chili oil.

6: Questions from the Internet, vol. 1

The Asian-American community is a diverse one. While the conversation in many cities – especially on the East and West Coasts – concerns diversity, inclusion, and representation, Asian-Americans in the Midwest and Middle America are still seeking cultural identity. In this podcast, Stevie Zheng and James He, two Asian-American guys from the Chicago suburbs, talk about their experiences growing up in developing a sense of identity and finding community.
