Julián Castro On Nachos And Government

And how hunger in America became political

Secretary Castro reveals his secret iced tea sweetener View this email in your browser Julián Castro On Nachos And Government Julián Castro is a former San Antonio mayor, HUD secretary, and presidential candidate. Now he's a political commentator, and he hosts the podcast Our America. When he sought the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, he made hunger one of his key campaign issues. This week, Secretary Castro joins us to discuss food policy, the power and limitations of boycotts, and what he thinks will be different under President Biden. But first: he gets the true Sporkful treatment when he and Dan discuss his DIY iced tea sweetener, his favorite hot sauce, and the politics of sharing nachos. Listen to this week's Sporkful through our website, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify. WHAT WE'RE EATING - The weeks after the election were so stressful. (YOU: How stressful were they?) They were so stressful that I impulse bought a piecaken. It's a pecan pie, eggnog cheesecake, and red velvet cake fused together with almond buttercream. But by the time it arrived we were so backed up with holiday sweets that I just put it in the freezer. This week we broke it out for the inauguration! - Emma is eating turkey bolognese. - Andres is eating chickpea pancakes from Nik Sharma's The Flavor Equation.     WHAT WE'RE READING - I'm reading about the indogauration of Joe Biden's dog Major.  - Emma is reading "I Recommend Eating Chips."  - Andres is reading about the workers strike at Hunts Point, the largest produce market in the country.  Take care, Dan Copyright © 2021 The Sporkful, All rights reserved.
