Last Call: Eddie Huang Gets The Last Word On Culinary Imperialism Debate

Fresh Off the Boat: After honorably engaging in a Twitter Battle Royale with us, Anthony Bourdain, and Francis Lam, Eddie Huang took back to his blog for the last word on the Culinary Imperialism debate.

New York Times: What does a Jenny Craig box o’ daily meals look like in France (where there are also fat women) versus in America? Now you know. If these were around in the ’60s, we wonder which country Fat Betty Draper would prefer…
