from Infatu Asian Podcast · host InfatuAsian Podcast
Julia Chen has my dream job! (though it does seem like a lot more work than I realized) She is a Senior staff writer at the restaurant recommendation site The Infatuation. (no, the similarity of our media names did not escape us)! Julia eats out in SF 6-10 times a week and writes reviews for The Infatuation website. The Infatuation has quickly become my favorite restaurant recommendation site! Coming back to co-host for a third time is my student Sydney! The three of us came up with some San Francisco Asian restaurant recommendations for various prompts like, the best under $10 bite, best Asian splurge, 2nd date spots, our favorite Asian comfort food spots, late-night grub, and more! You can read Julia’s reviews over at https://www.theinfatuation.com/san-francisco If you’re not in SF, look for The Infatuation in a city near you 11 different cities in the US plus London, and has dozens of articles from cities all over the world!
