Firstly, to find and secondly to talk with … he was terrified because they thought that when the American troops come to Baghdad, he was afraid of being taken to Guantanamo, tortured and maybe executed, or having some other troubles. But then hiding became part of his DNA. And even when my great Iraqi fixer managed to find him, he didn’t want to talk. Like, he didn’t dream about some weird guy from Poland finding him and making him speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the life of a chef to someone like Saddam Hussein\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think you can say that the chefs, usually they have amazing perspective. Like, they are very close, but at the same time, they are the guys who could possibly poison the dictator. So it’s a tricky position. You are a mother and an enemy at the same time. So Saddam was not good for Iraqi people and for the world, but he had this instinct to treat his personnel well … And the chef is mentioning the expensive gifts he has got from Saddam. Gold watches, and he had new clothes. But it was always a tricky position. It was always a dangerous job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the dangers of being Idi Amin’s chef \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So once the son of Idi Amin had some stomach problems, and immediately Amin came with his pistol to the kitchen, and took the first chef that was working right after the door, put a gun into his head and said that “if the kid dies, I’m going to kill all of you.” And those people were scared—like, they had very good salary and … an access to food in the countries where there were a lot of hungry people. But at the same time, you could have been killed at any moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On what we can learn from these stories\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe that, generally, it’s not only a book about the recipes for dictators and for the food they like, but it’s also a kind of recipe for the dictatorship. Like how exactly, step by step, is the dictatorship born and raised? Like, check how they get to power, and let’s try to prevent that to happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited for radio by Ian Stewart and Kitty Eisele, and adapted for the Web by Petra Mayer.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

Firstly, to find and secondly to talk with … he was terrified because they thought that when the American troops come to Baghdad, he was afraid of being taken to Guantanamo, tortured and maybe executed, or having some other troubles. But then hiding became part of his DNA. And even when my great Iraqi fixer managed to find him, he didn’t want to talk. Like, he didn’t dream about some weird guy from Poland finding him and making him speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the life of a chef to someone like Saddam Hussein\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think you can say that the chefs, usually they have amazing perspective. Like, they are very close, but at the same time, they are the guys who could possibly poison the dictator. So it’s a tricky position. You are a mother and an enemy at the same time. So Saddam was not good for Iraqi people and for the world, but he had this instinct to treat his personnel well … And the chef is mentioning the expensive gifts he has got from Saddam. Gold watches, and he had new clothes. But it was always a tricky position. It was always a dangerous job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the dangers of being Idi Amin’s chef \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So once the son of Idi Amin had some stomach problems, and immediately Amin came with his pistol to the kitchen, and took the first chef that was working right after the door, put a gun into his head and said that “if the kid dies, I’m going to kill all of you.” And those people were scared—like, they had very good salary and … an access to food in the countries where there were a lot of hungry people. But at the same time, you could have been killed at any moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On what we can learn from these stories\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe that, generally, it’s not only a book about the recipes for dictators and for the food they like, but it’s also a kind of recipe for the dictatorship.

Roger Chiang, who works in San Francisco, recalled a white woman glaring at him on the train to work, covering her nose and mouth. When he told her in a joking tone that he didn’t have the coronavirus, she replied that she “wasn’t racist — she just didn’t want to get sick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison Park from Brooklyn told us that when visiting D.C., she saw a man making faces at her on the Metro train. She tried to move away from him, but he wouldn’t stop. After a while, she said, he confronted her outright, saying: “Get out of here. Go back to China. I don’t want none of your swine flu here.” A week later, on a Muni train in San Francisco, another man yelled the same thing to her — “Go back to China” — and even threatened to shoot her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a single cough or sneeze can trigger harassment. Amy Jiravisitcul from Boston said a man on a bus muttered about “diseased Chinese people” when she sneezed into her sleeve. When she confronted him, he told her: “Cover your fucking mouth.” When South San Franciscan Diane Tran sneezed into her elbow in a hallway in a hospital, where she was getting a flu shot, she said a middle-aged white woman yelled a racist slur at her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children have been targeted, too — by other children and adults alike. Devin Cabanilla, from Seattle, told us that a Costco food sample vendor told his Korean wife and mixed-race son to “get away” from the samples, questioning whether they had come from China. \u003ca href=\"https://www.insider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-kid-turned-away-food-samples-at-costco-2020-1\">Company executives later apologized\u003c/a> to his family, but he’s still shaken. “It just reminds me that when people look at us, they don’t see us as American,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirteen-year-old Sara Aalgaard told us that since the outbreak, many middle-school classmates of hers have been targeting the small population of Asian Americans at her school in Middletown, Conn. “People call us ‘corona,’ ” she said, or ask if they eat dogs. Rebecca Wen from North Brunswick, N.J., told us that her 9-year-old son reported that his 11-year-old classmate said: “You’re Chinese, so you must have the coronavirus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The anti-Asian harassment isn’t limited to the U.S., either. International outlets have reported harassment in majority-white countries like Australia, where parents in Melbourne\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/28/sensationalist-media-is-exacerbating-racist-coronavirus-fears-we-need-to-combat-it\"> refused to let Asian doctors treat their children\u003c/a>, and Canada, where around 10,000 Toronto-area people signed a petition \u003ca href=\"https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/02/chinese-canadians-denounce-rising-xenophobia-tied-coronavirus-200202191216923.html\">calling for the local school district to track and isolate Chinese-Canadian students\u003c/a> who may have traveled to China for the Lunar New Year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Germany, Thea Suh said that when she sat down on her train to work, the person sitting next to turned away from her and covered his face. A few days later, a woman told her to move her “corona-riddled body” elsewhere. Not once did someone step in to help, she said. “I have also not seen or heard any German politician or major influencer coming to our defenses,” she said. “And I feel like as a part of the so-called \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/04/19/524571669/model-minority-myth-again-used-as-a-racial-wedge-between-asians-and-blacks\">model minority\u003c/a>, we are being left alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s another common theme from the responses we got: Witnesses and bystanders were slow to intervene. Allison Park remembers that when the man on the D.C. Metro told her to go back to China, the train was nearly two-thirds full, but no one said anything. At best, she got some sympathetic looks. Amy Jiravisitcul said that the other passengers ignored the yelling, which made her wonder whether they thought she was just making a scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when the harassment has passed, unease still lingers. Jane Hong from New York told us that when she and a fellow Korean American were walking from lunch, she heard a man screaming “yuck” in their direction. Now, she notices whenever people on the street look at her for more than a passing glance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if ‘paranoid’ is the word,” Hong said. “Now it’s in my head. I wonder if they are thinking, ‘I have to stay away from her, I don’t want to walk near her.’ Now that the seed has been planted in my head, it’s hard to not have that thought cross my mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"hr\">\u003cem>For more on xenophobia and coronavirus, \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510312/codeswitch\">listen to this week’s episode of the Code Switch podcast\u003c/a>\u003cem>.

Amy Jiravisitcul from Boston said a man on a bus muttered about “diseased Chinese people” when she sneezed into her sleeve. When she confronted him, he told her: “Cover your fucking mouth.” When South San Franciscan Diane Tran sneezed into her elbow in a hallway in a hospital, where she was getting a flu shot, she said a middle-aged white woman yelled a racist slur at her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children have been targeted, too — by other children and adults alike. Devin Cabanilla, from Seattle, told us that a Costco food sample vendor told his Korean wife and mixed-race son to “get away” from the samples, questioning whether they had come from China. \u003ca href=\"https://www.insider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-kid-turned-away-food-samples-at-costco-2020-1\">Company executives later apologized\u003c/a> to his family, but he’s still shaken. “It just reminds me that when people look at us, they don’t see us as American,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirteen-year-old Sara Aalgaard told us that since the outbreak, many middle-school classmates of hers have been targeting the small population of Asian Americans at her school in Middletown, Conn. “People call us ‘corona,’ ” she said, or ask if they eat dogs. Rebecca Wen from North Brunswick, N.J., told us that her 9-year-old son reported that his 11-year-old classmate said: “You’re Chinese, so you must have the coronavirus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The anti-Asian harassment isn’t limited to the U.S., either. International outlets have reported harassment in majority-white countries like Australia, where parents in Melbourne\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/28/sensationalist-media-is-exacerbating-racist-coronavirus-fears-we-need-to-combat-it\"> refused to let Asian doctors treat their children\u003c/a>, and Canada, where around 10,000 Toronto-area people signed a petition \u003ca href=\"https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/02/chinese-canadians-denounce-rising-xenophobia-tied-coronavirus-200202191216923.html\">calling for the local school district to track and isolate Chinese-Canadian students\u003c/a> who may have traveled to China for the Lunar New Year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Germany, Thea Suh said that when she sat down on her train to work, the person sitting next to turned away from her and covered his face. A few days later, a woman told her to move her “corona-riddled body” elsewhere. Not once did someone step in to help, she said. “I have also not seen or heard any German politician or major influencer coming to our defenses,” she said. “And I feel like as a part of the so-called \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/04/19/524571669/model-minority-myth-again-used-as-a-racial-wedge-between-asians-and-blacks\">model minority\u003c/a>, we are being left alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s another common theme from the responses we got: Witnesses and bystanders were slow to intervene. Allison Park remembers that when the man on the D.C. Metro told her to go back to China, the train was nearly two-thirds full, but no one said anything. At best, she got some sympathetic looks. Amy Jiravisitcul said that the other passengers ignored the yelling, which made her wonder whether they thought she was just making a scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when the harassment has passed, unease still lingers. Jane Hong from New York told us that when she and a fellow Korean American were walking from lunch, she heard a man screaming “yuck” in their direction. Now, she notices whenever people on the street look at her for more than a passing glance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if ‘paranoid’ is the word,” Hong said. “Now it’s in my head. I wonder if they are thinking, ‘I have to stay away from her, I don’t want to walk near her.’ Now that the seed has been planted in my head, it’s hard to not have that thought cross my mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"hr\">\u003cem>For more on xenophobia and coronavirus, \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510312/codeswitch\">listen to this week’s episode of the Code Switch podcast\u003c/a>\u003cem>.

(My daughter asked in a whisper, “You DID make extra for supper, didn’t you?” Yes, honey, I did.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So \u003cem>Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story\u003c/em> was waiting for her under the tree this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t know if Kevin Noble Maillard actually intended for a 7-year-old to drop dough into a cast iron skillet full of hot oil, but I can tell you that’s exactly what happened in my house on Christmas afternoon after my daughter opened \u003cem>Fry Bread\u003c/em>. For my little girl, Maillard hasn’t written a book to expand the diversity of her bookshelf or explain a culture about which she may know little to nothing — Maillard has written a book about HER life and HER family, not to mention a book about one of her all-time favorite foods (which she has been begging me to let her make by herself, but eh … “fry bread is sound … sizzling oil popping” so, we’ll just have to see about that.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My kids are often told they don’t look “Indian enough,” but illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal doesn’t brook any such nonsense. The Native American family in \u003cem>Fry Bread \u003c/em>is just like our own family (OK, a tad more well-behaved): There is blond hair, cornrows, red hair and yes, straight, black hair (such is the legacy of First Contact). My kids love seeing themselves included, and I love sharing that moment with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='native-american, book-review, the-great-american-read' label='More Stories You'll Like']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As happy as my kids are with this book, make no mistake, \u003cem>Fry Bread\u003c/em> isn’t merely a feel-good story about a picturesque Native American family cooking together with joyful abandon and minimal mess. Fry bread is not the least divisive of foods: Born of mortal necessity, fry bread might seem the last food Native Americans would choose to celebrate (and many people choose not to). My children know fry bread isn’t “traditional,” and they know why. To his credit, Maillard doesn’t shy away from tackling that issue. “Fry bread is history … the long walk, the stolen land … with unknown food we made new recipes from what we had.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also to Maillard’s credit, he doesn’t leave it there. Fry bread IS worth celebrating. That diverse Native American family that means so much to my kids? Fry bread is instrumental to its very existence. The 19th-century boyhood of Charles Eastman is gone: The wild rice, the bison, the venison, the fish, the ducks, the huckleberries — all gone. But Maillard takes the food of necessity and places it directly on the table of plenty. The family in \u003cem>Fry Bread\u003c/em> eats it just the way my family does: Sweet with honey or preserves, savory with meat and tomatoes, and they eat it with thanks and happiness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So yes, \u003cem>Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story\u003c/em> is the perfect gift for my little girl, for all my children. Long after the Legos or dolls are set aside and forgotten, \u003cem>Fry Bread\u003c/em> will be brought down from the cookbook shelf (yes, Maillard includes his own recipe!), thumbed through with floury hands searching for the words “Monacan Indian Nation” inside the cover, and splattered with oil as it sits by my old cast iron skillet. I hope Kevin Maillard will excuse me for wrapping up a splatter screen along with the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Juanita Giles is the founder and executive director of the Virginia Children’s Book Festival.

For my little girl, Maillard hasn’t written a book to expand the diversity of her bookshelf or explain a culture about which she may know little to nothing — Maillard has written a book about HER life and HER family, not to mention a book about one of her all-time favorite foods (which she has been begging me to let her make by herself, but eh … “fry bread is sound … sizzling oil popping” so, we’ll just have to see about that.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My kids are often told they don’t look “Indian enough,” but illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal doesn’t brook any such nonsense. The Native American family in \u003cem>Fry Bread \u003c/em>is just like our own family (OK, a tad more well-behaved): There is blond hair, cornrows, red hair and yes, straight, black hair (such is the legacy of First Contact). My kids love seeing themselves included, and I love sharing that moment with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Fry bread is not the least divisive of foods: Born of mortal necessity, fry bread might seem the last food Native Americans would choose to celebrate (and many people choose not to). My children know fry bread isn’t “traditional,” and they know why. To his credit, Maillard doesn’t shy away from tackling that issue. “Fry bread is history … the long walk, the stolen land … with unknown food we made new recipes from what we had.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also to Maillard’s credit, he doesn’t leave it there. Fry bread IS worth celebrating. That diverse Native American family that means so much to my kids? Fry bread is instrumental to its very existence. The 19th-century boyhood of Charles Eastman is gone: The wild rice, the bison, the venison, the fish, the ducks, the huckleberries — all gone. But Maillard takes the food of necessity and places it directly on the table of plenty. The family in \u003cem>Fry Bread\u003c/em> eats it just the way my family does: Sweet with honey or preserves, savory with meat and tomatoes, and they eat it with thanks and happiness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So yes, \u003cem>Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story\u003c/em> is the perfect gift for my little girl, for all my children. Long after the Legos or dolls are set aside and forgotten, \u003cem>Fry Bread\u003c/em> will be brought down from the cookbook shelf (yes, Maillard includes his own recipe!), thumbed through with floury hands searching for the words “Monacan Indian Nation” inside the cover, and splattered with oil as it sits by my old cast iron skillet. I hope Kevin Maillard will excuse me for wrapping up a splatter screen along with the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Juanita Giles is the founder and executive director of the Virginia Children’s Book Festival.

When she moved, Goh was a casual \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/eatwithtracy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram foodie\u003c/a> with a background in digital marketing, posting pictures of homemade Malaysian dishes for a small number of followers and playing around with filter effects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gramming images of dishes like sago gula melaka (a cold tapioca pudding), steaming bowls of laksa (noodle soup) and nasi lemak (a one-plate meal), Goh introduced her non-Malaysian followers—at least visually—to the specialties of her country. When the mouth-watering pictures were just too tantalizing, someone offered to pay Goh to cook for them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVvWJ0gczR/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I reluctantly invited the first four or five people to a one-bedroom,” she remembers. “From four it became six, which became ten, and at one point I had like sixteen people stuffed into my living room.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She figured out the economics of cooking for strangers as she went along. “I had no idea,” she says. “I was undercharging, underpaying myself. I didn’t think about labor, I just charged for the ingredients.” In those early days, one of her five-course meals would cost a guest a very low $45. “Why did I do that?” she laughs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after seven years and near-weekly pop-ups in venues all over town, Goh aims for a profit margin of 30 to 40 percent. On average, her meals cost diners about $65 per person. Most recently, tickets for a prix fixe family-style pop-up on Dec. 1 (featuring her signature laksa and a chili Dungeness crab) sold out so quickly Goh secured a second seating at the Mission District host restaurant Tselogs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13871204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in turquoise shirt leans one arm on the edge of sink, stands in her kitchen in front of cabinets and a long tiled counter.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13871204\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goh in her home kitchen; she and her partner use the metal table behind her to shoot photographs of food. \u003ccite>(Graham Holoch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She maintains that profit margin with principled frugality. She lives with her partner in a rent-control apartment in San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood, paying $1,800 per month for her share of rent and utilities. Food photography happens in the large kitchen; the living room couch is her office. She walks most places, sometimes lugging around 50 pounds of cooking supplies and produce in a backpack and two grocery bags. When she can’t carry everything, she takes an Uber; she estimates she spends about $60 per meal on car trips. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she doesn’t skimp where it matters. She sets aside $600–800 a year to fly home and visit her parents—trips that often double as ingredients research. Goh also believes in paying her workers fairly. “I don’t feel right paying anyone less than $18 an hour,” she says. “Because I live here too, you know. And I cannot give them a full time job or benefits.” (Her own health insurance costs $370 a month.) She pays her cook and front-of-house staff $20 an hour. “And because it’s prepaid and ticketed,” she explains, “customers don’t tip most of the time. So I tip out of pocket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes she and her chef friends trade favors, working each others’ events for free. She’s collaborated on multiple occasions with her friend Siska Silitonga of \u003ca href=\"http://chilicali.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ChiliCali\u003c/a>, pairing Malaysian and Indonesian dishes side by side so diners could sample the differences between the two cultures’ flavors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13871173\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Labeled baskets of spices sit in a white shelf in the kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13871173\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goh’s home kitchen has plenty of space for food preparation and photography—and a very organized spice rack. \u003ccite>(Graham Holoch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Goh says her such friends are also a great resource when it comes to learning about and negotiating the local food world, often introducing each other to amenable pop-up venues. “My friends and I are mostly not traditional trained chefs,” she says of their support system. “We’re just entrepreneurs who have a vision and usually we’re all immigrants.

Every deal is different, Goh says, and over the years she’s definitely found herself in both poorly equipped kitchens and operating under rental rates that meant she could only break even.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even when I’m not making money I have to keep doing pop-ups,” Goh explains. “Because if I disappear, people go elsewhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2017, she narrowed the focus of her pop-ups by launching the Laksa Project, a series of communal dining events centered around a variety of Malaysian noodle bowls. By specializing in one dish, she could better recycle surplus ingredients and manage her overhead. The project reached its stated goal—of serving 1,000 bowls of laksa in one year—in late October 2018. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13871175\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires21_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in turquoise shirt wipes down the outside of a cup of chai.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13871175\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires21_1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires21_1920-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires21_1920-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires21_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires21_1920-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires21_1920-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goh prepares chai in her home kitchen on a cold and rainy day. \u003ccite>(Graham Holoch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Expanding her audience with the Laksa Project was also about educating them specifically about Malaysian food. “Many Americans don’t even know to ask for Malaysian food, let alone laksa, so I had to come up with a campaign so they would have this term in their vocabulary,” she says. “The ramen trend is so in right now and people know a similar Burmese soup called mohinga.

I didn’t think about labor, I just charged for the ingredients.” In those early days, one of her five-course meals would cost a guest a very low $45. “Why did I do that?” she laughs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after seven years and near-weekly pop-ups in venues all over town, Goh aims for a profit margin of 30 to 40 percent. On average, her meals cost diners about $65 per person. Most recently, tickets for a prix fixe family-style pop-up on Dec. 1 (featuring her signature laksa and a chili Dungeness crab) sold out so quickly Goh secured a second seating at the Mission District host restaurant Tselogs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13871204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in turquoise shirt leans one arm on the edge of sink, stands in her kitchen in front of cabinets and a long tiled counter.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13871204\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires11_1920-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goh in her home kitchen; she and her partner use the metal table behind her to shoot photographs of food. \u003ccite>(Graham Holoch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She maintains that profit margin with principled frugality. She lives with her partner in a rent-control apartment in San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood, paying $1,800 per month for her share of rent and utilities. Food photography happens in the large kitchen; the living room couch is her office. She walks most places, sometimes lugging around 50 pounds of cooking supplies and produce in a backpack and two grocery bags. When she can’t carry everything, she takes an Uber; she estimates she spends about $60 per meal on car trips. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she doesn’t skimp where it matters. She sets aside $600–800 a year to fly home and visit her parents—trips that often double as ingredients research. Goh also believes in paying her workers fairly. “I don’t feel right paying anyone less than $18 an hour,” she says. “Because I live here too, you know. And I cannot give them a full time job or benefits.” (Her own health insurance costs $370 a month.) She pays her cook and front-of-house staff $20 an hour. “And because it’s prepaid and ticketed,” she explains, “customers don’t tip most of the time. So I tip out of pocket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes she and her chef friends trade favors, working each others’ events for free. She’s collaborated on multiple occasions with her friend Siska Silitonga of \u003ca href=\"http://chilicali.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ChiliCali\u003c/a>, pairing Malaysian and Indonesian dishes side by side so diners could sample the differences between the two cultures’ flavors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13871173\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Labeled baskets of spices sit in a white shelf in the kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13871173\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/KQED_The_Hustle_Tracy_Goh_hires20_1920-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goh’s home kitchen has plenty of space for food preparation and photography—and a very organized spice rack. \u003ccite>(Graham Holoch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Goh says her such friends are also a great resource when it comes to learning about and negotiating the local food world, often introducing each other to amenable pop-up venues. “My friends and I are mostly not traditional trained chefs,” she says of their support system. “We’re just entrepreneurs who have a vision and usually we’re all immigrants.

It was my first face-to-face meeting with him after being aware of his work for over five years: he maintains the official Black Panther Party website, \u003ca href=\"http://www.itsabouttimebpp.com/home/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ItsAboutTimeBPP.com\u003c/a>. He also organizes, promotes and documents BPP events. When I noticed him promoting the 50th anniversary of the Breakfast Program, I figured it was time to break bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He took me back to the origins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Huey [P. Newton]’s girlfriend at the time (LaVerne Anderson) was taking an Afro-Hatian dance class from Mrs. Ruth Beckford-Smith, the famed dancer,” Jennings told me. “And then, she told Ruth Beckford-Smith about the Party, Ruth Beckford-Smith told Father Neil, and Father Neil let them use his church to start the breakfast program,” Jennings said, matter of factly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a piece recapping his connection with the Party, \u003ca href=\"http://www.itsabouttimebpp.com/Our_Stories/Chapter1/BPP_and_Father_Neil.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Father Neil writes\u003c/a>, “We began with 11 youngsters the first day (a Monday) and by Friday we were serving 135 students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Jennings was a fresh high school graduate, class of the turbulent year of 1968. On the night of graduation, he got on a bus out of San Diego and ended up in Deep East Oakland, on 75th and Spencer, not too far from where the A’s had just opened their new coliseum two years prior; the Raiders were playing there too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By our house, every time they’d make a touchdown, they’d shoot off this big cannon. Boom!” Jennings said loudly. “All over East Oakland, you’d hear the cannon and you’d know we made a touchdown,” he said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, Jennings didn’t have to go far to be influenced by the culture: his neighbor was in charge of distribution of the Panther Newspaper. “The Party had this big old van that had a panther on the side of it. I think it was an old milk truck, if you know what a milk truck looks like from back then,” Jennings said, looking at me through his glasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of going to school at Laney College and working at McDonalds near 68th and Foothill, he started doing work for the Panthers. He had a paper route that covered an area of East Oakland that stretched from the newly opened Eastmont Mall to the intersection of 98th Avenue and E. 14th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennings’ work was based out of the East Oakland Panther office, which was originally on 73rd Avenue and E. 14th Street before moving to 99th Avenue and E. 14th Street. While working there, he was asked to partake in learning the ins and outs of the Breakfast Program, so he went over to St. Augustine’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the morning, I’d get to the church and help them out for about three hours,” he recalled. “And then my first class would be at 9am at Laney.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13867535\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13867535\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-800x406.jpg\" alt=\"A sign marking a free breakfast location in Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-800x406.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-160x81.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-768x390.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-1020x518.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-1200x609.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign marking a free breakfast location in Oakland. \u003ccite>(PBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Soon after, the Party opened breakfast programs all around Oakland. “We opened a breakfast program in Jingletown, at the Mary Help of Christians Church,” Jennings said, as his hamburger was served. “Then we opened a program on 62nd Avenue, at St. Bernard Church. And then we opened another one on Douglas and Edes, by the railroad tracks in Brookfield.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Panthers got \u003ca href=\"https://localwiki.org/oakland/Free_Breakfast_for_Children_Program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">donations from local businesses\u003c/a> and continued to expand, opening up a program at a former community center on 99th Avenue. Jennings says DeFremery Park was only used for about six months, until the center on 12th Street near Campbell Village was reopened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used to feed a bunch of kids in the village,” Jennings said, referring to the housing projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that time, Oakland was way below the poverty level,” Jennings told me. “We had people moving from Alabama, Texas, Louisiana and they were living in their cars and stuff like that—car full of people, 7–8 kids!” I ate and thought to myself how Oakland \u003cem>still\u003c/em> has issues with poverty and homelessness. According to the \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2017-Alameda-County-8.1-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2017 Alameda County Homeless Census Survey, \u003c/a>“Unaccompanied children and transition-age youth represented 18% of the overall (homeless) population in 2017, an increase from 7% in 2015.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, they were fighting many of the same issues. “Kids would go to school hungry, and they’d faint. And the school had put a Band-Aid on the problem, saying, ‘Take this person home so they can get some food.’ Duh, if they would’ve had some food, they would’ve ate some food,” Jennings said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13867597\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13867597\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Emory.BillyX-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"Black Panther Minister of Culture Emory Douglas and Black Panther Archivist Billy X Jennings at the West Oakland Library in February 2016.\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Emory.BillyX.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Emory.BillyX-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Emory.BillyX-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Panther Minister of Culture Emory Douglas and Black Panther Archivist Billy X Jennings at the West Oakland Library in February 2016. \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">I\u003c/span> brought up the issue of homelessness in Oakland. Jennings agreed that it’s crazy right now. When I asked what people could gain from looking at the infrastructure of what the Black Panthers did, he went in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Black Panther Party was a vanguard organization. The vanguard’s responsibility was to set the table, the rest is up to young people—the rest is up to you. We showed people, this is how you feed people in the community. This is how you defend people in the community, you know?” Jennings took a breath, and continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You start programs, you take care of your people, and then you start a clinic. The professional people from our community who went to college, or went and got the skills, you give them an institution where they can provide, where they can help, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hadn’t taken a bite from his burger in some time. He’d been too busy rattling off reasons why the Panthers’ work was foundational to steps that should be taken today to cure the societal issues faced by Oakland and the greater Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagine: simply relying on community power to fix community problems, while uplifting those who are most impacted—the poor, opposed and marginalized. Imagine us being that solution-minded. We wouldn’t be having a stupid tug-of-war about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11777595/what-boulders-say-about-san-franciscos-inability-to-find-a-solution-to-homelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">putting boulders on the street\u003c/a> to deter unsheltered people from sleeping there, I’ll tell you that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Billy X Jennings succinctly put it, “50 years ago, we started a program that has now fed millions of Americans, all because we put social theory into practice.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was my first face-to-face meeting with him after being aware of his work for over five years: he maintains the official Black Panther Party website, \u003ca href=\"http://www.itsabouttimebpp.com/home/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ItsAboutTimeBPP.com\u003c/a>. He also organizes, promotes and documents BPP events. When I noticed him promoting the 50th anniversary of the Breakfast Program, I figured it was time to break bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He took me back to the origins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Huey [P. Newton]’s girlfriend at the time (LaVerne Anderson) was taking an Afro-Hatian dance class from Mrs. Ruth Beckford-Smith, the famed dancer,” Jennings told me. “And then, she told Ruth Beckford-Smith about the Party, Ruth Beckford-Smith told Father Neil, and Father Neil let them use his church to start the breakfast program,” Jennings said, matter of factly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a piece recapping his connection with the Party, \u003ca href=\"http://www.itsabouttimebpp.com/Our_Stories/Chapter1/BPP_and_Father_Neil.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Father Neil writes\u003c/a>, “We began with 11 youngsters the first day (a Monday) and by Friday we were serving 135 students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Jennings was a fresh high school graduate, class of the turbulent year of 1968. On the night of graduation, he got on a bus out of San Diego and ended up in Deep East Oakland, on 75th and Spencer, not too far from where the A’s had just opened their new coliseum two years prior; the Raiders were playing there too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By our house, every time they’d make a touchdown, they’d shoot off this big cannon. Boom!” Jennings said loudly. “All over East Oakland, you’d hear the cannon and you’d know we made a touchdown,” he said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, Jennings didn’t have to go far to be influenced by the culture: his neighbor was in charge of distribution of the Panther Newspaper. “The Party had this big old van that had a panther on the side of it. I think it was an old milk truck, if you know what a milk truck looks like from back then,” Jennings said, looking at me through his glasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of going to school at Laney College and working at McDonalds near 68th and Foothill, he started doing work for the Panthers. He had a paper route that covered an area of East Oakland that stretched from the newly opened Eastmont Mall to the intersection of 98th Avenue and E. 14th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennings’ work was based out of the East Oakland Panther office, which was originally on 73rd Avenue and E. 14th Street before moving to 99th Avenue and E. 14th Street. While working there, he was asked to partake in learning the ins and outs of the Breakfast Program, so he went over to St. Augustine’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the morning, I’d get to the church and help them out for about three hours,” he recalled. “And then my first class would be at 9am at Laney.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13867535\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13867535\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-800x406.jpg\" alt=\"A sign marking a free breakfast location in Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-800x406.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-160x81.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-768x390.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-1020x518.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram-1200x609.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/BreakfastProgram.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign marking a free breakfast location in Oakland. \u003ccite>(PBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Soon after, the Party opened breakfast programs all around Oakland. “We opened a breakfast program in Jingletown, at the Mary Help of Christians Church,” Jennings said, as his hamburger was served. “Then we opened a program on 62nd Avenue, at St. Bernard Church. And then we opened another one on Douglas and Edes, by the railroad tracks in Brookfield.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Panthers got \u003ca href=\"https://localwiki.org/oakland/Free_Breakfast_for_Children_Program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">donations from local businesses\u003c/a> and continued to expand, opening up a program at a former community center on 99th Avenue. Jennings says DeFremery Park was only used for about six months, until the center on 12th Street near Campbell Village was reopened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used to feed a bunch of kids in the village,” Jennings said, referring to the housing projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that time, Oakland was way below the poverty level,” Jennings told me. “We had people moving from Alabama, Texas, Louisiana and they were living in their cars and stuff like that—car full of people, 7–8 kids!” I ate and thought to myself how Oakland \u003cem>still\u003c/em> has issues with poverty and homelessness. According to the \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2017-Alameda-County-8.1-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2017 Alameda County Homeless Census Survey, \u003c/a>“Unaccompanied children and transition-age youth represented 18% of the overall (homeless) population in 2017, an increase from 7% in 2015.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, they were fighting many of the same issues. “Kids would go to school hungry, and they’d faint. And the school had put a Band-Aid on the problem, saying, ‘Take this person home so they can get some food.’ Duh, if they would’ve had some food, they would’ve ate some food,” Jennings said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13867597\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13867597\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Emory.BillyX-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"Black Panther Minister of Culture Emory Douglas and Black Panther Archivist Billy X Jennings at the West Oakland Library in February 2016.\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Emory.BillyX.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Emory.BillyX-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Emory.BillyX-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Panther Minister of Culture Emory Douglas and Black Panther Archivist Billy X Jennings at the West Oakland Library in February 2016. \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">I\u003c/span> brought up the issue of homelessness in Oakland. Jennings agreed that it’s crazy right now. When I asked what people could gain from looking at the infrastructure of what the Black Panthers did, he went in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Black Panther Party was a vanguard organization. The vanguard’s responsibility was to set the table, the rest is up to young people—the rest is up to you. We showed people, this is how you feed people in the community. This is how you defend people in the community, you know?” Jennings took a breath, and continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You start programs, you take care of your people, and then you start a clinic. The professional people from our community who went to college, or went and got the skills, you give them an institution where they can provide, where they can help, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hadn’t taken a bite from his burger in some time. He’d been too busy rattling off reasons why the Panthers’ work was foundational to steps that should be taken today to cure the societal issues faced by Oakland and the greater Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagine: simply relying on community power to fix community problems, while uplifting those who are most impacted—the poor, opposed and marginalized. Imagine us being that solution-minded. We wouldn’t be having a stupid tug-of-war about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11777595/what-boulders-say-about-san-franciscos-inability-to-find-a-solution-to-homelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">putting boulders on the street\u003c/a> to deter unsheltered people from sleeping there, I’ll tell you that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They can attract hundreds of spectators, and they’ve been happening here since at least the 1980s. The cat-and-mouse dance between local authorities and sideshow goers has been going on just as long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this aspect of car culture is deeply intertwined with Oakland culture—and the culture of Northern California as a whole—it’s also somewhat dangerous, can become very chaotic, and on the streets, it’s illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which made the event in Stockton a possible blueprint for a way to do it legally. Attendees, like my niece, paid $20 to enter Wettfest, a family-friendly, annual car show thrown by DJ Tri Tip, Mudville Clothing Co. and Mike Alvaro. There were low-riders, hydraulic hopping competitions, big motorcycles, American-made candy-painted muscle cars, overpriced barbecue plates and Mexican food. There was even a kid’s zone with an astro jump, kiddie pool, the whole nine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you wanted to swing donuts, you had to pay $100. That’s what San Jose native Chris Coca did. I caught him and his 1997 BMW 328i (with the Louis Vuitton pattern on the interior door panel) while we waited in line with what I’m told was nearly 100 other cars. Gearing up for his second trip to the donut pit, he told me he pulled up early that morning in anticipation. After all, this is his catharsis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dM5hETErGI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t go to sideshows because I’m not trying to get caught up, I’m not trying to get this thing impounded,” Coca said, pointing to his car. “But having somewhere to just let myself loose—man, I love this shit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the tires of a car getting sideways screeched in the background, Coca continued. “This is what keeps me going,” he said. “Only once a month is when I get to get out, but when I do get out, this is the only thing on my mind—I’m relaxed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Coca if he thinks legalization would help with the sideshow issue plaguing Oakland. His answer was one I hadn’t heard before. “It’s like a skatepark, you know?” he offered. “There’s still going to be some bad shit going on, but it’d be a lot more cool.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s got a point: without skateparks, skaters would just be hitting ollies on school campuses and outside of office lobbies. “Plus skateparks give you a place where you can really shine,” Coca said. “Where you can really go all in, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13867034\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13867034\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7724-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Coca\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7724-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7724-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7724-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7724-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7724-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7724.jpg 1616w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Coca sitting in his BMW, awaiting his next turn. \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">G\u003c/span>oing all in. That’s what Robert Pascua, Outlaw Drift Series organizer and the force behind the donut pit, says he wants drivers to do. We talked under the shade of the old horse stable, adjacent to the donut pit, about his “drifting” events—an alternative to illegal sideshows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to get everyone off of the streets. I mean, I came from the streets as well, and only a few of us turned into that person who takes it to a professional level,” said Pascua, who also works as a professional stunt driver. “There will be ones that do take it and run with it. And the ones that don’t—they’ll be more a mix—they’ll hit the drifting events, and still go out in the streets. And it’s cool, nothing is wrong with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we talked, another car started swangin’ donuts in the nearly all-black-covered square of concrete as the crowd of people on all sides of the square watched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of our good talent comes from sideshows, a lot of ‘em have a general knowledge of car control that most people don’t know,” Pascua explained. “And so they excel really great in the drifting world, in my opinion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13867035\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13867035\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7743-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Robert Pascua\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7743-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7743-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7743-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7743-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7743-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7743.jpg 1616w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert Pascua, the force behind the donut pit.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pascua told me how this organized daytime sideshow is legal, covered as an “active motive sport” in the speedway ownership’s contracts and multimillion dollar insurance policy. The plot of land is already home to a dirt track, a go-kart track and a sprint car track; the majority of the land is permitted for automobiles. The donut pit activity falls under the umbrella of what’s allowed at a racetrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We contract with 99 Speedway, so we’re under racetrack policy, which is why everybody has to have helmets, which is why everybody has to have certain criteria to come in here. So, we basically treat the donut pit kind of like a racetrack, with less rules,” said Pascua. “We’re a little more lenient, just to get people off the street and go have fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also told me about other places that host what are essentially legal sideshows, like Sonoma Speedway’s Wednesday Night Drag Racing, Sacramento’s Sac Speed Shop, and another one in Reno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had no idea how common this was. Pascua is in his second year of running the donut pit at Wettfest. He’s been doing events like this for over five years, with a monthly series, even. And he says he’s tried to get this kind of thing going in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFs59iFdpF/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oakland doesn’t have a racetrack,” Pascua said, simply. “We’ve looked into it. I’ve looked into it. And just, in going through the city, we’d have to find somewhere that’s realistic. And, it’s just a lot of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told me that for the past couple of years, his venture was operating in the red. He’s seeing revenue now, thanks to sponsors. But the list of expenses isn’t short, starting with the concrete barricades called K-Walls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to pay for the K-Walls, the rental of the forklift, we have to move the K-Walls, I have to take time off of work just to do it,” said Pascua. “I have nine people on my staff. Not even just nine staff, I have two EMTs, fire safety with the fire truck,” said Pascua.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not too long after that point in our conversation, one of the cars in the pit loudly hit a K-Wall, not too far from my niece. The driver tried to keep going, but fire safety came out in a vehicle with a comically over-sized front bumper to push the vehicle out of the circle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pascua explained to me that once a car hits a wall, it’s supposed to stop driving. Of course, sometimes there’s no option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s either your car gives up or your tires give up, and that’s my whole goal: to give people a place to let it all go,” said Pascua.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13867052\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13867052\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7736-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Who knew you could get sideways in a forklift!?\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7736-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7736-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7736-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7736-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7736-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/DSC7736.jpg 1616w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Who knew you could get sideways in a forklift!? \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">S\u003c/span>ideshows are a sort of vehicular ballet and mini destruction derby. The goal is to swing donuts and let loose, but it’s done in a myriad of elegant ways. I saw someone in a beat up Volvo. Someone else got down in a newer Mustang. At one point, Pascua walked around, using the red flag like a matador’s cape, signaling for a driver to swing close to the K-Wall without touching it—the audience cheered. I was anxious, watching as the car came close, but didn’t scrape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dangerous? Yeah, I mean, dirt got flung and rubber pieces got tossed up. Your family physician probably wound’t recommend inhaling tire smoke. But I saw lots of folks out there with their kids—and I’m talking toddlers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I pointed out my teenaged niece in the front row, and asked Pascua about the wide range of people in attendance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My goal is to get someone out here who never has seen this, and starts asking questions. You start asking questions, and you start wanting to know,” said Pascua, starting to walk away and tend to the needs of the event. One of the K-Walls had moved when the car hit it. Pascua jumped in a forklift to fix it back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After doing so, he did a few swerves and got sideways in the damn forklift. Didn’t even know that was possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They can attract hundreds of spectators, and they’ve been happening here since at least the 1980s. The cat-and-mouse dance between local authorities and sideshow goers has been going on just as long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this aspect of car culture is deeply intertwined with Oakland culture—and the culture of Northern California as a whole—it’s also somewhat dangerous, can become very chaotic, and on the streets, it’s illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which made the event in Stockton a possible blueprint for a way to do it legally. Attendees, like my niece, paid $20 to enter Wettfest, a family-friendly, annual car show thrown by DJ Tri Tip, Mudville Clothing Co. and Mike Alvaro. There were low-riders, hydraulic hopping competitions, big motorcycles, American-made candy-painted muscle cars, overpriced barbecue plates and Mexican food.

The plot of land is already home to a dirt track, a go-kart track and a sprint car track; the majority of the land is permitted for automobiles. The donut pit activity falls under the umbrella of what’s allowed at a racetrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We contract with 99 Speedway, so we’re under racetrack policy, which is why everybody has to have helmets, which is why everybody has to have certain criteria to come in here. So, we basically treat the donut pit kind of like a racetrack, with less rules,” said Pascua. “We’re a little more lenient, just to get people off the street and go have fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also told me about other places that host what are essentially legal sideshows, like Sonoma Speedway’s Wednesday Night Drag Racing, Sacramento’s Sac Speed Shop, and another one in Reno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had no idea how common this was. Pascua is in his second year of running the donut pit at Wettfest. He’s been doing events like this for over five years, with a monthly series, even.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Rodney recalled, gay bars were among the least hospitable places in San Francisco for black people such as himself. There was hardly a place for gay black people to dance, let alone throw a fundraiser for a gay black political candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why I bought the Eagle Creek,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13858718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13858718\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Sadie Barnette (L) used her residency at The Lab to honor San Francisco's first black-owned gay bar the Eagle Creek Saloon, which her father Rodney (R) opened in 1990.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sadie Barnette (L) used her residency at The Lab to honor San Francisco’s first black-owned gay bar the Eagle Creek Saloon, which her father Rodney (R) opened in 1990. \u003ccite>(Sam Lefebvre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sadie was five years old in 1990 when her father acquired the bar that for the next three years provided gay people of color a site of protest, refuge and revelry on Market Street—”a friendly place with a funky bass for every race,” as its slogan went.

The theme was black people through the ages, and Sadie stood alongside pharaohs and astronauts in an ornately tasseled ensemble created by a bar regular. Her residency at the Lab culminates with this year’s parade on June 30, when the entire bar will be hoisted onto a float.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Rodney recalled, gay bars were among the least hospitable places in San Francisco for black people such as himself. There was hardly a place for gay black people to dance, let alone throw a fundraiser for a gay black political candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why I bought the Eagle Creek,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13858718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13858718\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Sadie Barnette (L) used her residency at The Lab to honor San Francisco's first black-owned gay bar the Eagle Creek Saloon, which her father Rodney (R) opened in 1990.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Sadie-and-Rodney-Barnette-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sadie Barnette (L) used her residency at The Lab to honor San Francisco’s first black-owned gay bar the Eagle Creek Saloon, which her father Rodney (R) opened in 1990. \u003ccite>(Sam Lefebvre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sadie was five years old in 1990 when her father acquired the bar that for the next three years provided gay people of color a site of protest, refuge and revelry on Market Street—”a friendly place with a funky bass for every race,” as its slogan went.

But it left deep impressions on its patrons, many of whom turned out to the opening last month at the Lab. After the Barnettes’ presentation, one former regular lyrically recalled a muscular bartender with a tiny chihuahua.

Goldbeck’s panorama of a San Antonio baptism). The result is a circular journey well worth taking—a journey that ends with a woman in a fries costume, her arms pinned inside, preventing her from waving goodbye. It’s a macabre, nihilistic and ultimately reassuring show—the waitress doesn’t care about your sob story, but you can rely on her to ask you if you want fries with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>‘Fries With That…?’ is on view at 3320 18th Street, San Francisco on Thursdays and Saturdays through March 30, and by appointment. \u003ca href=\"http://cushionworks.info/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/i> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
