It’s the return of a special video podcast series: Food Writers Talking About Food Writing. It’s available on the TASTE ⁠YouTube channel⁠, so make sure to subscribe and check out the video version of this podcast. Every couple of weeks, Matt invites a journalist to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole.

In today’s episode, we have a great conversation with Elyse Inamine. Elyse is a journalist who worked at Tasting Table and Food & Wine before serving as restaurants editor at Bon Appétit. She’s also the coauthor of ⁠For the Love of Kewpie: A Cookbook and Celebration⁠, which, as the name suggests, is a celebration of one of the world’s finest condiments. We talk about Elyse’s journalism career and book work before digging into some of her recent stories.
