Up For Discussion

This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) calls up everyone's favorite podcast guest Eric Silver (@El_Silvero) from Join The Party to talk about his favorite non-kosher Jewish foods! First, we talk Food Network and the importance of Guy Fieri as a cultural liaison, then Eric shares his story of growing up Jewish in New York and eventually ditching kosher dietary law. We get into "jewish-coded" foods, Michael W. Twitty, and how "Jewish Food" goes way beyond the "ashkenormative" perception we have of it here in North America. We also get into intersecting cultural identities and the marginalization of jews in America. Also, Eric shares an absolutely brilliant latke-making tip!
