Food section debuts in Hyphen Inside/Out Issue
Food and Asian Americans are irrevocably linked. Much of this is due to chop suey imagery forged by the likes of TV chef Martin Yan or the perceived exoticness of Asian food and the explosion of fusion cuisine.
Because of this, many of the stereotypes about Asian Americans come from food. It’s one of the reasons Founding Editor Melissa Hung proclaimed Hyphen would never publish a recipe or cover food in a way that doesn’t uphold Hyphen’s ideals.
Well, we broke her rule about recipes a few issues back with our story about sustainable seafood practices. And, we have another for Afro-Asian jung in the new Food section that debuts in The Inside/Out Issue of Hyphen, which will be out soon. Subscribe or look for it at a newsstand near you.

Posted by Harry in All posts, Asian spotting, Hyphen, Media on March 22, 2010
Jake Shimabukuro's career took off after a YouTube video of him went viral.
Shimabukuro been called the Hendrix of Ukulele (or for you 80s heavy metal fans, the Yngwie of Ukulele, as former Hyphen Music Editor Todd Inoue described him). I sawShimabukuro play at Yoshi’s San Francisco on Monday night, and along with his mad ukulele skills, he had an engaging stage presence when telling the little back-stories to each song before performing it.

John Cho discusses ‘Harold and Kumar,’ ‘Star Trek’ sequels
Flash Forward star John Cho says that a script for the third Harold and Kumar has been written and that it will be a holiday-themed movie that takes place a few years after the last film. The new Star Trek script is being written, Cho says, but he doesn’t know what the story is about. I can’t wait to see both of them.

Deborah Gibson in love scene with Asian guy
Deborah Gibson and Vic Chao make out in 'Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.'
“Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus“: the title alone should have kept me away, but flipping through the channels to SyFy, my curiosity was piqued when I saw that it starred 80s teen sensation Debbie Gibson (who’s all grown up and goes by Deborah now). I started watching and lo and behold, before I knew it, her character and a fellow scientist played by Vic Chao were making eyes for each other and heading to the closet for some, shall we say, intense research.

Get the Asian Flush? Rice may be causing it
A few drinks turns many Asians red. (Wikipedia)
That red-faced glow many Asians get when they have a few too many drinks is the result of a genetic mutation that research suggests occurred about the same time farmers began growing rice in China … about 10,000 years ago. Read the rest of this entry »
