Cathy Erway hosts the podcast SELF EVIDENT, a podcast challenging the narratives of the Asian American experience. Cathy is fascinated by the intersection of culture, food, and race. In our candid conversation about growing up (and eating - two of our favorite topics) - you’ll hear Cathy’s take on the role food has played in her life, and how recipes and cooking experiences have shaped her. Cathy’s also a James Beard Award-winning writer and hosted the award-winning podcast “Why We Eat What We Eat” (Gimlet). She is the author of the cookbook The Food of Taiwan, and the memoir The Art of Eating In. Born in NYC and raised in NJ, Cathy has learned that people shouldn’t be judged by how they look, or even what their name is...
