All in The Food That Binds

The Food That Binds: Episode 9, Amor Mia Orino

Amor Mia Orino of @kamayan_atl is my latest guest on @thefoodthatbinds. We talk about how she only started cooking in her mid 40's, how her relationship with her mother impacted food throughout her life, the Filipino food movement, #AAPIhate, her food truck outside of @vangogh.experience and her upcoming restaurant across from @prattpullmandistrict. If you can’t tell by my interview, I adore her and her colorful edible mosaics, and know you will too.

Jennifer talks with chef Jason Simpson, who recently accepted a position as Culinary director for @citrinla and its sister restaurants, has a dreamy California aesthetic on a plate that feels both inviting and sharp in its precision. On this Wednesday’s episode of @thefoodthatbinds, @simpaticooks and Jennifer discuss everything from growing up in California as the child of an artist and celebrity, his grandmother, his relationship with food and cooking, mental health, and what healthy kitchen culture should look like.
