Ep 188 Curtis Chin on Family, Food, and Finding Identity in a Chinese Restaurant
from Infatu Asian Podcast · host Curtis Chinn
Happy Chin(n) for the Win Month! All our guests this month have the name Chin(n), and that's NOT just a gimmick; all our Chin guests are interesting, fun, and all have unique and interesting jobs! I figured it was appropriate to start the month with none other than Curtis Chin! Curtis is the author of the award-winning memoir, Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant. It chronicles about 20 years of Curtis' youth growing up in his family's restaurant in Detroit in the 70s and 80s. It is a poignant and fun read, get a copy wherever you get books. Listen to us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts! Follow Curtis on social media @Curtischin8, or over at his website https://www.curtisfromdetroit.com/ We have a new arrangement of our theme song! Our friends from Melbourne, the amazing @invictusquartet, helped arrange and perform a new version of “Super Happy J-Pop Fun-Time” by Prismic Studios. Thanks Nyssa, Jin, Bec, and Anika!
