Show Notes

Peter Kim returns to Cooking Issues to discuss his new book Instant Ramen Kitchen and immersive food venture Infinite Table. In an episode that zigzags from molè rituals in Oaxaca to the atrocities of airplane omelets, Peter joins Dave and the crew for a marathon of food philosophy, gadget nostalgia, and weaponized pronunciation.


• Mole and Memory – Peter recounts filming with Karina Santiago in Oaxaca, capturing her mole negro process in 360° video, and recreating the experience for guests at Infinite Table with emotional results and no psilocybin.


• Ramen Realism – From detailed tasting notes on Top Ramen vs. Sapporo Ichiban to riff recipes like carbonara-ish cheese bombs and bacon chashu pinwheels, Peter makes the case for instant noodles as both everyday staple and creative canvas.
