Episode 45: Tunde Wey on Restaurants as Instruments for Social Change

Chef Tunde Wey is the man behind some of the most controversial pop ups in America and uses dining to make diners confront the uncomfortable realities of race, class, privilege and wealth in America. He’s a chef and writer, but before he’s any of those things he’s a proud Nigerian and rum connoisseur. On today’s show we’ll talk about his upcoming pop-up tackling ‘love marriages’, if he sees his work as performance art or dining experience and how he navigates funding these projects.
