Food With Benefits: Recent Episodes
Austin Eats ATL
Food With Benefits explores and discusses our relationship with food and how it affects more aspects of our lives than we think. To some, food is an act of love. To others, food is something to fear. Join along with your host, Austin Thompson, as we explore people's relationship with food from all walks of life, and peek into history to discover how this relationship has evolved and changed over time. From foraging for berries in prehistory to eating a $25,000 taco in Cabo San Lucas. Oh, and maybe learn a new recipe or two while you're at it.

When it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, nothing is more apparent than the unequal distribution of power between them. And this inequality is present in food, farming, and Palestinian agriculture. How has Palestine food culture changed in this conflict? And how has daily life changed for the farmers of Palestine? Tag along with me as we take a quick look at food culture and Palestine's agricultural history, and learn which organizations are making a change and how you can help free Palestine.

Well hey there everyone~~ Welcome back to Nothing Fancy. In Nothing Fancy I'll be cooking up some of my favorite recipes and I'll walk you through every step of the way while also talking about some history behind the dish, it's meaning to me, and whatever else I talk about.
Today's episode is about a spicy tuna bowl. A quick and super tasty pantry-raid recipe that's a distant cousin of the Hawaiian poke bowl. Tuna, veggies, rice, what's not to love!
As you listen along, feel free to pause, rewind, or jump back to an earlier section if you need too.
Ingredients
- 2 5oz. cans chunk tuna
- 1 tbsp gochujang
- ½ tbsp soy sauce
- Around ⅓ cup of mayonnaise
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 2 cups white rice
- Bag of frozen veggies (this can be sugar snap peas, green beans, a veggie medley, whichever. I like a veggie medley that has peas, green greens, corn, and carrots)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil or hot chili oil
