Jennifer K. Chung on “the New Bacon”
Thursday, February 24th, 2011
Terroryaki!
Jennifer K. Chung has told us that the inspiration for her prize-taking novel, Terroryaki! was the ubiquitous dishes of chicken teriyaki on every street in Seattle. She calls it the unspoken official dish of the city, like bagels to Montreal or pizza to New York–except “no one ever talks about it.” In a recent interview with the Bellevue Reporter, Chung says that in the Pacific Northwest, chicken teriyaki is “the new bacon.” Read the whole interview here, and look for her spooky story of sisterhood, families, interracial love and haunted take-out food in bookstores this summer.
