Who I Follow

What would you want for your last meal? On this series finale of Chewing the Fat, co-hosts Louisa Chu and Monica Eng dedicate the episode to Kiba Chu. Kiba was Louisa’s adopted Alaskan Malamute mix dog, who joined CTF adventures everywhere from salmon fishing to barbecue contests. Speaking of Q, Monica shares her big Berkeley fellowship BBQ, worthy of a last meal, with author and This American Life contributor Jack Hitt. Plus for this final meal Will She Eat It? Louisa makes her innovative take on an iconic Chinese-American-Midwestern-Chicagoan food, but will Monica eat it? But wait, this podcast might be over, but long live Chewing!

(Chewing the Fat)

Do or Diet: The Chewing the Fat ladies are back hearing from Dr. David Ludwig about his bestseller “Always Hungry” on the best way to finally lose that gut forever. Author Dawn Lerman talks about growing up the daughter of a 450 pound Don Draper who was always trying the food he advertised. And Louisa dares Monica to eat a shaggy piece of old chicken…but will she?
