Arun Gupta returns to the show and This is Revolution's Jason Myles joins me to start talking about "cultural nationalism" and Portland cultural food trends, but expands to talk about the food and culture of the hinterlands, as both Jason and Arun have been chefs. What's the difference between cooking on an oil rig on the Gulf Coast vs cooking for a fracking town up in North Dakota? Tune in and find out!

We also learn the history of fish & chips and tater tots, so hang on!
