There are times when I feel I’m getting too much of something. 
Lately, it’s been, a lot of Eddie Huang. Everywhere I turn I see or hear him. He’s everywhere and I kinda like it.
Recently I listened to an NPR podcast called What’s Good with Stretch and Bobbito. The topics have been 
broader than I expected, and it’s been refreshing to listen to these guys banter with each other and conduct interviews with their guests. But, for my first listen to What’s Good was with Eddie Huang. He talked about his book “Fresh
Off The Boat”, which led to the creation of a TV show of the same title. They discussed his show on Vineland, Huang’s World.
One of the ideas that Eddie Huang communicates, which really resonates with me, is the idea that you can look at a plate of food and learn about the culture of a region. I think about that when ever I cook food I think my mother and grandmother would appreciate. His shows also remind me of another truth about myself, I am first born-first generation American and that come with some built in straddling of cultures.
