Good morning. For The Times this week, Elyse Inamine wrote about the complicated relationship Korean adoptees in America have with Korean food, particularly among those who’ve become chefs. “They’re coming to terms with a heritage they didn’t grow up with,” she wrote, “and enthusiastically expressing it through the vulnerable, public act of cooking for others.”…
“There are not many Black-owned restaurant groups, made up of Black partners and Black chefs,” Burrell says. “So I want to be an integral part of developing our space in that field. I want everyone to be aware that, you know, Black and brown people contribute to fine dining.” It all feels like a gift…

Whether for the seaport museum commemorating its maritime heritage, the aquarium’s sea lions and beluga whales, or the charming downtown, dense with boutiques and anchored by a bascule bridge that is celebrating its 100th anniversary, about 1.5 million…
In May, Meg and Maddie Antonelli, a mother-and-daughter duo who review new food products on TikTok, filmed themselves in their car in a Florida grocery store parking lot. Meg held up a container of powdered dill pickle seasoning from Sam’s Club; Maddie, a bag of Goldfish Original crackers. “Goldfish, if you’re seeing this, I think…
In 2018 Dave Eggers wrote the improbable nail-biter, “The Monk of Mokha,” about Mokhtar Alkhanshali — an American citizen of Yemeni parents barely scraping by in San Francisco — who went to Yemen to reestablish the coffee trade in his ancestral country, the place said to be where coffee-drinking originated.
