Podcast: Josie Chu and The Family Restaurant

Episode one of the hit Food Stories podcast kicks of with a cozy interview from Canadian photographer, Josie Chu.

Josie grew up in her family's Chinese Western restaurant in the Alberta prairies, working alongside her multi-generational family, cooking food the locals wanted, but then going home to eat the good stuff. With a penchant for dipping her fingers in spices and listening to NKOTB, Josie's food story was anything but typical!
