A tip for enjoying ripe summer raspberries: Get them frozen
Summer fruit season is in full swing, but many Washington farmers are preparing fruit for weeks or months down the line. Farms in Lynden, Washington, produce 90% of the country’s frozen raspberries. The berries make their way into baked goods, jams and freezer aisles all over the country. And while frozen food gets a bad rap, farmers in Lynden say these finicky berries are just as good frozen as they are fresh. Seattle Times journalist Jackie Varriano visited a farm in Lynden to see the process first-hand. She tells Tan all about it and taste tests some dishes made with frozen Washington raspberries. Read about Washington’s frozen raspberry industry and see photos of the harvesting process in The Seattle Times: 90% of frozen raspberries grown in the U.S. come from this WA town | The Seattle Times Seattle Eats is a production of The Seattle Times and KUOW, part of the NPR Network.

Elevating instant ramen: A guide to hacking this simple staple
To many people, instant ramen is a simple (and cheap) snack. But to chef Josh Ratza, it’s an opportunity for delight. Josh is the owner and chef at Setsunai Noodle Bar on Lopez Island and the self-published author of Elevated Instant Ramen. The book is a guide to leveling-up any instant ramen, without breaking the bank. In this episode, Tan and Josh shop for ramen at Uwajimaya in Seattle’s Chinatown International District. Josh points out his favorites and shows Tan how to ‘hack’ a ramen packet with simple ingredients. Read Tan’s profile of Josh: This creative Lopez Island chef is a wizard with instant ramen | The Seattle Times Information on Josh’s book: Elevated Instant Ramen Chef Josh Ratza’s instant ramen hacks: Pick your ramen style: Brick ramen works best for adding ingredients, but one in a Styrofoam cup or bowl will work in a pinch. Try whatever ramen flavors and brands catch your eye. Keep ingredients on hand to boost flavor (chili crisp, hot sauce, furikake). Add fat and protein for more nutrients (an egg, sliced avocado, tinned fish or meat). Use up whatever you have in your fridge! Paint outside the lines.

Crying and feasting at a Georgian Supra
Dinner parties are a staple in many cultures, but in Georgia – in the Caucus mountains of Eastern Europe — dinner parties are another deal all together. Almost any occasion in Georgia calls for a Supra, a feasting tradition that goes far beyond the food on the table and the wine in the glasses. It’s about connecting with the other people around the table, sometimes getting extremely vulnerable. The Supra Dinner Society wants to make this Georgian tradition a feature in Seattle. In this episode, Tan attends a Supra and explains how the tradition works. Read more about the Supra Dinner Society in The Seattle Times. The group hosts weekly public Supras in Seattle.
