The Joyous Tale is a monthly podcast that connects the Asian diasporas in North America through food. In each episode, we discuss a food-related topic in a historical, cultural, political or social context to understand people, celebrate their quirks and embrace their diversity. We cover fortune cookies and momos to butter chicken and pho-inspired cocktails. We engage in honest conversations with chefs, restauranteurs and people who bring food onto our table, as well as chat with avid home cooks and enthusiast eaters. We explore the fascinating and ever-changing nature of the food world, while hoping to preserve the Asian heritage and foodways.
