Eating at Home

In this episode of the "Eat Your Crust" podcast, Crystal, Jisoo, and Sunny explore their childhood relationships with food, focusing on the differences between meals at home and eating out. They reminisce about the typical cuisines they grew up with, often a mix of their cultural heritage (Korean and Chinese) and American dishes like spaghetti and mac and cheese. The hosts discuss the nutritional awareness (or lack thereof) in their households, the types of snacks they were allowed, and the roles family members played in consuming leftovers or specific parts of meals. They also share memories of family phases, such as watching TV during dinner or a collective obsession with a video game and Taco Bell. The conversation extends to current eating habits, contrasting their childhood experiences with their adult approaches to cooking and food choices, and touches upon the challenges of recreating authentic cultural dishes and the food legacies they might pass on to future generations.
