Reposted by brandonJaya Saxena @jayasaxena.com · 18/08/2025Now that it's been a few days, I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces I wrote for Eater over the 6+ years I was there. First off, I got to write a lot about the intersection of food and queerness, culminating in this piece that got me a JBFA nomination www.eater.com/24162871/foo...eater.comThe Food That Makes You GayToo many people grow up fearing what food might reveal about themselves. Maybe it’s time we embrace self-discovery. 3443116

Reposted by brandonJaya Saxena @jayasaxena.com · 02/06/2025Why would I, as a customer, pay $300 a person for a meal where the chef completely outsourced their creativity? At that level your own imagination is precisely what I'm paying you for, what an L and an insult to admit you can't do it and charge me anyway. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/d...nytimes.comThis Year’s Hot New Tool for Chefs?

brandon @brandowrites.bsky.social · 13/05/2025Casual reminder that the MODERATE position is to abolish ICE, a rogue and dangerous institution that is terrorizing folks regardless of immigration status (which doesn’t matter to anyone who really cares about other people).
