Episode 135: International Street Food
This week on Chewing, we talk about international street food. First, Monica talks to Faraz Sardharia about his new restaurant Rickshaw Pakistani & Indian Street Eats, which raises funds for unhoused people in Chicago. Monica also talks to women’s rights advocate Rohini Dey about transforming her pioneering modern Indian restaurant Vermilion into a women-centric “cocktail den” called Sanctuary in River North. Then, Monica talks to Steven Marks, the American who co-founded the Mexican restaurant chain Guzman y Gomez in Australia that’s now invading Chicago’s suburbs. Finally, Louisa talks to India Jenkins, the owner of The Corned Beef Hideout and the creator of spicy jerk corned beef sandwich called That Jerk, but will they eat it?!
