Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 19 - Abi Balingit
Q: Can you talk about the inspiration behind the name of your blog, Dusky Kitchen?
It was named because I would bake at dusk after a long day at work, and it reflects my small, poorly lit kitchen's vibe.
Ep. 19 - Abi Balingit
Q: Are you planning to write another cookbook?
I have been thinking about it a lot but feel pressure; I want it to be creatively driven, not just a sequel to Mayumu.
Ep. 19 - Abi Balingit
Q: What is it like to have won the James Beard Award?
Winning the award is life-changing but doesn't significantly change my daily life; I still have to deal with work expectations.
Ep. 19 - Abi Balingit
Q: How do you feel about the opening of Erewhon in New York City?
I feel very ambivalent. Erewhon is nice but grocery prices in New York are already inflated, making it feel unnecessary.

Q: What do you think is next in the food and dining scene?
Camille mentions a focus on seasonal produce and a desire for more unapologetically vegetal dishes.
