"content": "\u003cp>Depending on your perspective, San Francisco coyotes are either malevolent, pet-hunting mini-wolves, or they’re simple floofs with as much right to live in the city as humans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recognizing that we as a species probably don’t know as much as we should about our four-legged neighbors, six intrepid researchers recently took it upon themselves to figure out the city-dwelling animals’ habits. The team, led by UC Davis PhD student Tal Caspi, decided the best way to do this was to spend two and a half years sifting through — God bless surgical glove inventors — coyote poop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13950854']Since the animals were entirely uncooperative when it came to mailing scat samples into the lab, between September 2019 and April 2022, Caspi and co. (presumably very carefully) ran around parks, golf courses and gardens picking up more than 1,200 coyote number twos. Almost 700 of these were of a quality that could be subjected to territory-level analyses. The results? Turns out that the greatest source of food for city ’yotes — 78% in fact — comes from human leftovers. Though the animals are also partial to snacking on gophers, rats, voles, birds and (oh, the humanity!) raccoons. (\u003cem>Raccoons!\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, \u003ca href=\"https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ecs2.70152\">the team published their complete findings in Ecosphere\u003c/a>, an open-access ecology journal, and was considerate enough to include handy graphs for the lay person.

(presumably very carefully) ran around parks, golf courses and gardens picking up more than 1,200 coyote number twos. Almost 700 of these were of a quality that could be subjected to territory-level analyses. The results? Turns out that the greatest source of food for city ’yotes — 78% in fact — comes from human leftovers.

Applications open in January 2025, and funding will be given out every quarter from March 2025 to the fall of 2027.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to KQED, a foundation spokesperson said that the structure of the grant will be revealed closer to the application launch date, and that artists, creatives and organizations in and outside of the Bay Area are welcome to apply. The Svane Family Foundation has previously supported Bay Area artists with $10,000 grants during the pandemic, as well as a million-dollar gift to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13932034/crafting-radicality-de-young-review\">Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\u003c/a> to acquire 42 works by Bay Area artists from historically underrepresented backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Culture Forward, which Mayor London Breed endorsed in a statement, arrives at a time when the city and private foundations turn their focus towards revitalizing downtown San Francisco. In March, Breed set a goal to bring 30,000 new residents and students to the downtown area by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, Breed announced the creation of new “entertainment zones” where business can sell alcoholic drinks to go during special events.

Applications open in January 2025, and funding will be given out every quarter from March 2025 to the fall of 2027.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to KQED, a foundation spokesperson said that the structure of the grant will be revealed closer to the application launch date, and that artists, creatives and organizations in and outside of the Bay Area are welcome to apply. The Svane Family Foundation has previously supported Bay Area artists with $10,000 grants during the pandemic, as well as a million-dollar gift to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13932034/crafting-radicality-de-young-review\">Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\u003c/a> to acquire 42 works by Bay Area artists from historically underrepresented backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Culture Forward, which Mayor London Breed endorsed in a statement, arrives at a time when the city and private foundations turn their focus towards revitalizing downtown San Francisco. In March, Breed set a goal to bring 30,000 new residents and students to the downtown area by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, Breed announced the creation of new “entertainment zones” where business can sell alcoholic drinks to go during special events.

So Bui is out here doing the same thing all the fishermen in San Francisco are trying to do — catch some fresh \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015975/yes-you-can-still-catch-fresh-local-dungeness-crab-for-thanksgiving\">Dungeness for Thanksgiving\u003c/a>. She looks like any other veteran crabber: rain jacket and winter beanie, waterproof waders tucked into fishing boots. Layers upon layers upon layers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you’re active on certain corners of the Bay Area’s social media ecosystem (say, foodie Instagram or outdoorsy TikTok), then you might recognize Bui for who she is: the most popular crab fishing influencer in the Bay. The Crab-fluencer-in-Chief of Ocean Beach, if you will. She has more than 200,000 followers on \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kaitlynbui/\">Instagram\u003c/a>, and she’s even bigger on \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui?lang=en\">TikTok\u003c/a>, where she’s amassed more than 440,000 followers and over 13 million likes. All told, Bui has done well enough that she’s able to make a full-time job of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On her social media accounts, Bui’s videos of herself fishing — almost exclusively for Dungeness crabs, almost always on Ocean Beach — routinely garner millions of views. Many of them hit the same basic beats: Here’s Bui \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C23TD9-P8zZ/\">going to the market\u003c/a> to buy some fresh squid or mackerel to use as bait. There she is on the beach pulling in a crab that’s \u003ca href=\"https://wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Regulations/Fishing-Map/San-Francisco#dungeness\">too small to keep\u003c/a>, so she gives it a little piece of squid as a snack before releasing it back into the sea. Now, finally, she catches a keeper, which she brings back home to her mom, who cooks it up to feed the family. End scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969681\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969681\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-03-BL.jpg\" alt=\"A woman on the beach fishes with a fishing pole on a foggy day.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-03-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-03-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-03-BL-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-03-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-03-BL-768x511.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-03-BL-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-03-BL-1920x1279.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bui reels in her fishing line on a rainy, windswept day in late November 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The videos’ popularity has less to do with the fishing itself and more to do with Bui’s ebullient personality. Her trademark catchphrases are “oh my goodness” and “holy cow,” both of which she’s prone to saying, breathlessly and in full sincerity, multiple times in a single video. And when she does catch a crab — or, more recently, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui/video/7416109523129142571?lang=en\">huge striped bass\u003c/a> — she’s so giddy, she can hardly contain herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui’s tagline on social media is “undercover crab fisherman” — because, as she explains, she doesn’t really look like anyone’s idea of a fisherman, much less a serious crab fisherman. She’s a young Asian American woman in a hobby that’s dominated by older men. She’s petite and unintimidating in stature — “5’3” on a good, sunny day,” she likes to say. And, to set her apart even from the food (and food-adjacent) influencers, she doesn’t even \u003ci>eat \u003c/i>the crabs she catches. (She does love eating crab, she explains, but feels squeamish about eating creatures she’s seen alive — so she just brings them home for her family to enjoy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px\" cite=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui/video/7199812444674346283\" data-video-id=\"7199812444674346283\">\n\u003csection>\u003ca title=\"@kaitlyn_bui\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@kaitlyn_bui\u003c/a> Do you want to see how my mom cooks the crab??😗🦀 \u003ca title=\"crab\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/crab?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#crab\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"crabfishing\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/crabfishing?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#crabfishing\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"crabbing\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/crabbing?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#crabbing\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"dungenesscrab\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/dungenesscrab?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#dungenesscrab\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"fisherwoman\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fisherwoman?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#fisherwoman\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"fishingvlog\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fishingvlog?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#fishingvlog\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"♬ original sound - Kaitlyn Bui\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7199812547816704814?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">♬ original sound – Kaitlyn Bui\u003c/a>\u003c/section>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[tiktok]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those differences make Bui’s videos appealingly down-to-earth.

(On this particular outing, she’s using a Hello Kitty snare made for her by a local craftsman, \u003ca href=\"https://www.crabslayer.com/\">Ken the Crab Slayer\u003c/a> — one of the perks of being a high-profile influencer.) Attached to the snare are six plastic loops; if a crab reaches its claw in to try to eat the bait, it’ll get caught in the loops so you can reel it in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui casts the reel out, sets the rod down into the long pole she’s dug into the sand, and waits for a few minutes before pulling in the line. If a crab has taken the bait, she reels it in. If not, she casts the reel out again and starts the whole process over again. Rinse and repeat, often for four or five hours in the cold and wind.About three hours in, Bui has only caught two little crabs that are too small to keep. But the lack of success doesn’t seem to have sunk her spirits at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who wants to be inside and warm?” she quips, cackling. “Where’s the sense of adventure in that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969685\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969685\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-40-47-BL.jpg\" alt=\"Left: A fisherman holds up her fishing line with a crab that she caught on the end.

(“I didn’t grow up in a very outdoorsy family,” she explains.) At the time, she was a pre-med student at UC Riverside in the thick of yet another semester of pandemic Zoom school. While staying at her parents’ house in the Outer Sunset, she started taking leisurely walks from Taraval down to Ocean Beach, mostly just to keep herself from going stir-crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was November, so the recreational Dungeness crab season had just gotten underway, and the beach was packed with fishermen. When she approached one of the old-timers, he explained that everyone was fishing for crabs, and he showed her the snare traps he was using to catch them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui was fascinated. But at the end of the conversation, she recalls, the fisherman said something that stuck in her craw. “He was like, ‘It’s okay, though. Cute little girls like you don’t need to learn this. You can make friends with someone who’ll catch them for you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Bui, it felt like a dare. “I was thinking, ‘I’ll show him. I’ll show him how I get the crabs!’” She went home, binged on crab fishing videos on YouTube and bought a bunch of gear. Then she went back down to Ocean Beach and fished all week, until she finally reeled in her first Dungeness. Just like that, she was hooked. “Everybody should have a chance to try this,” she remembers thinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceTemp\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969686\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969686\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL.jpg\" alt=\"A fisherman holds up a Dungeness crab holding a piece of squid in its claw.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-768x511.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-1920x1279.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kaitlyn Bui feeds each undersized Dungeness crab a small piece of squid before releasing it. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Two more years passed, though, before Bui posted her first crab fishing video. By then, she was getting ready to move down to Riverside to start medical school through their feeder program. But she had started questioning her career choice. While she’d dreamed of becoming a doctor ever since she was a child — when her mother was diagnosed with thyroid cancer — she wasn’t enjoying her classes. In fact, she’d started doing content creation on the side, as a fashion influencer, posting videos on how to style cargo pants and low-rise trousers, just as a creative outlet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Bui says, none of her friends in college even believed her when she told them how she’d started crab fishing. So she decided to make a video to prove it — a \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui/video/7195027421895085355?lang=en\">two-minute-long vlog\u003c/a> in which Bui baits her trap with squid, casts out her reel, gets her pants soaked in the process and, finally, catches a keeper, all with her trademark ebullience. She posted the video on TikTok last January, on the same account where she’d been posting her fashion content. She didn’t promote it, or even tell much of anyone she was doing it, she says, because she felt some sense of shame about being an influencer instead of, say, saving the world as a doctor. (“As Bay Area kids, we’re taught to shoot for the moon and land on the moon,” she says.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That first video immediately went viral, with more than a million views. She posted a second crab fishing video and then a third, and those went viral too. In fact, of the first 10 fishing videos that Bui posted, eight of them all logged well over a million views. Brand partnership offers started trickling in. At that point, Bui thought to herself, “Is this, like, a \u003ci>job\u003c/i> now?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it turns out, it was. She gave up her medical school plans for good, and she’s been doing crab fishing content creation full-time ever since. In the pre-med student to crab fishing influencer pipeline, she is (probably) one of one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969709\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969709\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"A fisherman holds her fishing pole as she walks back in from the edge of the water.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bui says hosting her own travel show would be a ‘bucket list’ item. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bui certainly isn’t the only fishing influencer in the Bay Area — though, just two years in, she already has the most popular account focused almost exclusively on crab fishing. Right from the start, however, Bui saw that her approach was fundamentally different from most of the other big, prominent influencers in the space — accounts like \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@FishermansLife\">Fisherman’s Life\u003c/a>, which has more than a million subscribers on YouTube. First of all, Bui says, almost all of the popular fishing influencers are men, and their videos are mostly instructional — the expert guidance of a trained professional teaching you how to do a thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui enjoys watching those videos too, but, as she explains, “I’m definitely not trying to teach anybody. If anything, I’m constantly learning, still, and just trying to make sure I’m doing everything by the book.” She comes at it from the perspective of an eager, self-effacing enthusiast — and it’s that contagious enthusiasm that has made her videos such a hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b2b2b;font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>\u003cstrong>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID='arts_13923127,arts_13951914,arts_13969477']\u003c/span>\u003c/strong>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>What she noticed right away, too, is that many of the comments posted in response to her videos were written by young Gen Z girls — the same young women who’d been following her for her fashion content, some of them as young as high school or middle school age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of girls were saying that they wanted to try crab fishing, but they were so scared,” Bui says. “And I was just like, ‘Go do it!’ Girls \u003ci>could \u003c/i>do it. My own excitement and curiosity pushed all that other stuff aside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the whole Dungeness crabbing scene, both as a \u003ca href=\"https://eastbayexpress.com/shell-shocked-1/\">vocation\u003c/a> and as a hobby, is predominantly male and middle-aged or older. Bui hopes her videos will encourage other young women to take up crab fishing — to “invite others to be in this space” who haven’t felt welcome there before. “I hope it makes them feel a little bit more empowered to try it out.” She’s one of a small but growing number of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/anniesfishtales/?hl=en\">women\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/glitterandgills/?hl=en\">in the Bay Area\u003c/a> who are using their platform as influencers to make the local fishing scene feel a little bit more inclusive and diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, Bui says, “There’s no textbook guidelines for being a content creator, let alone an Asian woman fishing content creator.” Why not try to make a difference?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969707\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969707\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs.jpg\" alt='A woman in a trucker hat that reads \"Crabby\" holds up two large Dungeness crabs.' width=\"2000\" height=\"2500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs-800x1000.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs-1020x1275.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs-160x200.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs-768x960.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/kaitlyn-with-crabs-1920x2400.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bui had better luck on an earlier outing.

When Bui was on vacation in Hawaii with her family this past summer, she connected with the local fishing guide behind a popular Instagram account, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/alohafishinghawaii/\">Aloha Fishing Hawaii\u003c/a>. He took her out casting for bonefish (a.k.a. the seventh-fastest fish in the world!), using tiny live crabs as bait as a nod to the influencer’s “crab girl” alter-ego. The two-part video she posted about the adventure is classic Kaitlyn Bui content: There are four or five “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9dIGIaiFGr/\">holy cows\u003c/a>” in the first five seconds, and the viewer is left with a sense of fun and genuine wonder, culminating in the moment when Bui — spoiler alert! — \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9h-Kg6iCoW/\">reels in the dang fish\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given Bui’s natural charisma in these videos, it’s easy to imagine a possible next phase for her career, a couple years down the road, as a travel show host on Netflix or the Discovery Channel — a sort of seafood-focused, Asian American Anthony Bourdain for Gen Z.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prospect has crossed Bui’s mind. A show like that, on a big national platform, would be a “bucket list” item, she says. In each episode, maybe she would travel to a different location and join a local fisherman to catch whichever sea creature is the regional delicacy — and then she’d go home with them for dinner. “I would see how those families cook it and enjoy it together,” she says. “I think that’s a centuries-old way of respecting your family that’s getting kind of rare these days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969683\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969683\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead drone photo of a fisherman wading into the choppy waters on the edge of the beach.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bui wades into the choppy waters at Ocean Beach. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, she hopes the videos she’s posting on TikTok and Instagram now are, in their own way, honoring \u003ci>her\u003c/i> family. In addition to the way she catches the crabs, she often documents how her mother cooks them — stir-fried with ginger and scallions, or roasted, Bay Area-style, with a boatload of garlic and butter.

At the end of the day, all she has to show for her efforts are a couple more too-small crabs that she release back into the sea. But a few days later, she’s back at it again, and this time she’s rewarded with two good-sized keepers — a feast for the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never get anything right on the first try,” she says. “I’m definitely a try four, try five type of girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\n",

Layers upon layers upon layers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you’re active on certain corners of the Bay Area’s social media ecosystem (say, foodie Instagram or outdoorsy TikTok), then you might recognize Bui for who she is: the most popular crab fishing influencer in the Bay. The Crab-fluencer-in-Chief of Ocean Beach, if you will. She has more than 200,000 followers on \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kaitlynbui/\">Instagram\u003c/a>, and she’s even bigger on \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui?lang=en\">TikTok\u003c/a>, where she’s amassed more than 440,000 followers and over 13 million likes. All told, Bui has done well enough that she’s able to make a full-time job of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On her social media accounts, Bui’s videos of herself fishing — almost exclusively for Dungeness crabs, almost always on Ocean Beach — routinely garner millions of views. Many of them hit the same basic beats: Here’s Bui \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C23TD9-P8zZ/\">going to the market\u003c/a> to buy some fresh squid or mackerel to use as bait. There she is on the beach pulling in a crab that’s \u003ca href=\"https://wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Regulations/Fishing-Map/San-Francisco#dungeness\">too small to keep\u003c/a>, so she gives it a little piece of squid as a snack before releasing it back into the sea. Now, finally, she catches a keeper, which she brings back home to her mom, who cooks it up to feed the family.

(She does love eating crab, she explains, but feels squeamish about eating creatures she’s seen alive — so she just brings them home for her family to enjoy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px\" cite=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui/video/7199812444674346283\" data-video-id=\"7199812444674346283\">\n\u003csection>\u003ca title=\"@kaitlyn_bui\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@kaitlyn_bui\u003c/a> Do you want to see how my mom cooks the crab??😗🦀 \u003ca title=\"crab\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/crab?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#crab\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"crabfishing\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/crabfishing?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#crabfishing\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"crabbing\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/crabbing?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#crabbing\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"dungenesscrab\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/dungenesscrab?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#dungenesscrab\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"fisherwoman\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fisherwoman?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#fisherwoman\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"fishingvlog\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fishingvlog?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#fishingvlog\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"♬ original sound - Kaitlyn Bui\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7199812547816704814?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">♬ original sound – Kaitlyn Bui\u003c/a>\u003c/section>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(On this particular outing, she’s using a Hello Kitty snare made for her by a local craftsman, \u003ca href=\"https://www.crabslayer.com/\">Ken the Crab Slayer\u003c/a> — one of the perks of being a high-profile influencer.) Attached to the snare are six plastic loops; if a crab reaches its claw in to try to eat the bait, it’ll get caught in the loops so you can reel it in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui casts the reel out, sets the rod down into the long pole she’s dug into the sand, and waits for a few minutes before pulling in the line. If a crab has taken the bait, she reels it in. If not, she casts the reel out again and starts the whole process over again. Rinse and repeat, often for four or five hours in the cold and wind.About three hours in, Bui has only caught two little crabs that are too small to keep. But the lack of success doesn’t seem to have sunk her spirits at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who wants to be inside and warm?” she quips, cackling. “Where’s the sense of adventure in that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969685\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969685\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-40-47-BL.jpg\" alt=\"Left: A fisherman holds up her fishing line with a crab that she caught on the end.

(“I didn’t grow up in a very outdoorsy family,” she explains.) At the time, she was a pre-med student at UC Riverside in the thick of yet another semester of pandemic Zoom school. While staying at her parents’ house in the Outer Sunset, she started taking leisurely walks from Taraval down to Ocean Beach, mostly just to keep herself from going stir-crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was November, so the recreational Dungeness crab season had just gotten underway, and the beach was packed with fishermen. When she approached one of the old-timers, he explained that everyone was fishing for crabs, and he showed her the snare traps he was using to catch them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui was fascinated. But at the end of the conversation, she recalls, the fisherman said something that stuck in her craw. “He was like, ‘It’s okay, though. Cute little girls like you don’t need to learn this. You can make friends with someone who’ll catch them for you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Bui, it felt like a dare. “I was thinking, ‘I’ll show him. I’ll show him how I get the crabs!’” She went home, binged on crab fishing videos on YouTube and bought a bunch of gear. Then she went back down to Ocean Beach and fished all week, until she finally reeled in her first Dungeness. Just like that, she was hooked. “Everybody should have a chance to try this,” she remembers thinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceTemp\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969686\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969686\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL.jpg\" alt=\"A fisherman holds up a Dungeness crab holding a piece of squid in its claw.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-768x511.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-50-BL-1920x1279.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kaitlyn Bui feeds each undersized Dungeness crab a small piece of squid before releasing it. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Two more years passed, though, before Bui posted her first crab fishing video. By then, she was getting ready to move down to Riverside to start medical school through their feeder program. But she had started questioning her career choice. While she’d dreamed of becoming a doctor ever since she was a child — when her mother was diagnosed with thyroid cancer — she wasn’t enjoying her classes. In fact, she’d started doing content creation on the side, as a fashion influencer, posting videos on how to style cargo pants and low-rise trousers, just as a creative outlet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Bui says, none of her friends in college even believed her when she told them how she’d started crab fishing. So she decided to make a video to prove it — a \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlyn_bui/video/7195027421895085355?lang=en\">two-minute-long vlog\u003c/a> in which Bui baits her trap with squid, casts out her reel, gets her pants soaked in the process and, finally, catches a keeper, all with her trademark ebullience. She posted the video on TikTok last January, on the same account where she’d been posting her fashion content. She didn’t promote it, or even tell much of anyone she was doing it, she says, because she felt some sense of shame about being an influencer instead of, say, saving the world as a doctor. (“As Bay Area kids, we’re taught to shoot for the moon and land on the moon,” she says.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That first video immediately went viral, with more than a million views. She posted a second crab fishing video and then a third, and those went viral too. In fact, of the first 10 fishing videos that Bui posted, eight of them all logged well over a million views. Brand partnership offers started trickling in. At that point, Bui thought to herself, “Is this, like, a \u003ci>job\u003c/i> now?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it turns out, it was. She gave up her medical school plans for good, and she’s been doing crab fishing content creation full-time ever since. In the pre-med student to crab fishing influencer pipeline, she is (probably) one of one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969709\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969709\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"A fisherman holds her fishing pole as she walks back in from the edge of the water.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-21-BL_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bui says hosting her own travel show would be a ‘bucket list’ item. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bui certainly isn’t the only fishing influencer in the Bay Area — though, just two years in, she already has the most popular account focused almost exclusively on crab fishing. Right from the start, however, Bui saw that her approach was fundamentally different from most of the other big, prominent influencers in the space — accounts like \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@FishermansLife\">Fisherman’s Life\u003c/a>, which has more than a million subscribers on YouTube. First of all, Bui says, almost all of the popular fishing influencers are men, and their videos are mostly instructional — the expert guidance of a trained professional teaching you how to do a thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui enjoys watching those videos too, but, as she explains, “I’m definitely not trying to teach anybody. If anything, I’m constantly learning, still, and just trying to make sure I’m doing everything by the book.” She comes at it from the perspective of an eager, self-effacing enthusiast — and it’s that contagious enthusiasm that has made her videos such a hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b2b2b;font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>\u003cstrong>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When Bui was on vacation in Hawaii with her family this past summer, she connected with the local fishing guide behind a popular Instagram account, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/alohafishinghawaii/\">Aloha Fishing Hawaii\u003c/a>. He took her out casting for bonefish (a.k.a. the seventh-fastest fish in the world!), using tiny live crabs as bait as a nod to the influencer’s “crab girl” alter-ego. The two-part video she posted about the adventure is classic Kaitlyn Bui content: There are four or five “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9dIGIaiFGr/\">holy cows\u003c/a>” in the first five seconds, and the viewer is left with a sense of fun and genuine wonder, culminating in the moment when Bui — spoiler alert! — \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9h-Kg6iCoW/\">reels in the dang fish\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given Bui’s natural charisma in these videos, it’s easy to imagine a possible next phase for her career, a couple years down the road, as a travel show host on Netflix or the Discovery Channel — a sort of seafood-focused, Asian American Anthony Bourdain for Gen Z.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prospect has crossed Bui’s mind. A show like that, on a big national platform, would be a “bucket list” item, she says. In each episode, maybe she would travel to a different location and join a local fisherman to catch whichever sea creature is the regional delicacy — and then she’d go home with them for dinner. “I would see how those families cook it and enjoy it together,” she says. “I think that’s a centuries-old way of respecting your family that’s getting kind of rare these days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969683\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969683\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead drone photo of a fisherman wading into the choppy waters on the edge of the beach.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/241125-UndercoverCrabInfluencer-30-BL-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bui wades into the choppy waters at Ocean Beach. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, she hopes the videos she’s posting on TikTok and Instagram now are, in their own way, honoring \u003ci>her\u003c/i> family. In addition to the way she catches the crabs, she often documents how her mother cooks them — stir-fried with ginger and scallions, or roasted, Bay Area-style, with a boatload of garlic and butter. And as our region’s number one Gen Z crab-fluencer, she’s also passing on those traditions — and that spark of fun and excitement — to a new generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back on the beach, Bui stays out at the edge of the water, fishing in the rain, until dark — when her mother calls to tell her to come home. At the end of the day, all she has to show for her efforts are a couple more too-small crabs that she release back into the sea. But a few days later, she’s back at it again, and this time she’s rewarded with two good-sized keepers — a feast for the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Winter solstice falls on North America this coming weekend, bringing about the longest night of the year. Amidst the darkness, from Dec. 20 through Dec. 22, the digital display atop San Francisco’s Salesforce Tower will be illuminated by images of colorful geometric shapes rhythmically moving in sequence, telling a significant story about this place we call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each cone, orb, line and wave floating around the crown of the tallest building in the city will symbolize vital information from the Bay Area, ranging from the change of the tides to the number of people taking BART rides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By using a year’s worth of data (summer ’23 to summer ’24) collected by researchers at NASA, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and a handful of other government-funded science programs, UC Berkeley professor Greg Niemeyer has combined and visualized information in an artistic manner to create the 20-minute reel, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gregniemeyer.com/synchronicity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Synchronicity\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than pretty lights atop a behemoth of a building, Niemeyer says that with the support of Jim Campbell and Emma Strebel of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/salesforce_towertop_art/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salesforce Tower Top Art\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> the goal of this project is to make data more accessible.

I want to make sure it’s more available to everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversely, Salesforce, the multibillion dollar company that anchors the building where Niemeyer’s work is being displayed, is built on privatized data. And while the company isn’t as big as say, religion, it does have a hand in the majority of online transactions made. Acknowledging the conflict, Niemeyer says a friend told him that with this project he’s “subverting the tower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Niemeyer hasn’t fully achieved his goals of artistic expression and accessibility. For example, he openly regrets not having an audio component to accompany the visualization. And while he’s pushing people to stop looking down into their cellphone-fixated silos for information, and to instead look up to see a more unifying set of data, viewers of the Salesforce Tower display won’t understand the meaning of each geometric shape unless they look at the key — which is on \u003ca href=\"https://www.gregniemeyer.com/synchronicity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Niemeyer’s website\u003c/a>.

I want to make sure it’s more available to everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversely, Salesforce, the multibillion dollar company that anchors the building where Niemeyer’s work is being displayed, is built on privatized data. And while the company isn’t as big as say, religion, it does have a hand in the majority of online transactions made. Acknowledging the conflict, Niemeyer says a friend told him that with this project he’s “subverting the tower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Niemeyer hasn’t fully achieved his goals of artistic expression and accessibility. For example, he openly regrets not having an audio component to accompany the visualization. And while he’s pushing people to stop looking down into their cellphone-fixated silos for information, and to instead look up to see a more unifying set of data, viewers of the Salesforce Tower display won’t understand the meaning of each geometric shape unless they look at the key — which is on \u003ca href=\"https://www.gregniemeyer.com/synchronicity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Niemeyer’s website\u003c/a>.

As a person who sometimes finds tasting menu food a little bit samey-samey, this was the cannon blast of bold diasporic flavors I was looking for: a yam pave spiked with fiery chile-and-tomato hot sauce that knocked me upside the head, rockfish “kitfo” and injera reimagined as a kind of fish taco, and on and on. My favorite was the chef’s take on suya — the spice rub applied, in this case, to braised oxtail that was stuffed inside a gorgeous, flaky pastry, with a side of zippy peanut romesco sauce for dipping. Delicious. (Unfortunately, Dotse’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13938506/cafe-colucci-pop-up-oakland-ethiopian-ghanaian-selasie-dotse\">E Le Aɖe pop-up series\u003c/a> ended shortly after the dinner I attended, and the chef is \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DDEGI77xeXd/?img_index=1\">moving to the East Coast\u003c/a>.

In Piglet & Co.’s ingenious version, the tofu was blended and whipped, so that it took on the texture of an airy mousse. On top, there was a layer of crushed sesame brittle and a few sprigs of fresh mint; fresh strawberries were hidden underneath.

As a person who sometimes finds tasting menu food a little bit samey-samey, this was the cannon blast of bold diasporic flavors I was looking for: a yam pave spiked with fiery chile-and-tomato hot sauce that knocked me upside the head, rockfish “kitfo” and injera reimagined as a kind of fish taco, and on and on. My favorite was the chef’s take on suya — the spice rub applied, in this case, to braised oxtail that was stuffed inside a gorgeous, flaky pastry, with a side of zippy peanut romesco sauce for dipping. Delicious.

The ribs were impossibly succulent and savory, topped with a bright and funky fish sauce and calamansi dressing that lingered on my fingers deliciously for the rest of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13969000\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13969000\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/taishan-eel-claypot-rice.jpg\" alt=\"Cooked rice in a claypot.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/taishan-eel-claypot-rice.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/taishan-eel-claypot-rice-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/taishan-eel-claypot-rice-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/taishan-eel-claypot-rice-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/taishan-eel-claypot-rice-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/taishan-eel-claypot-rice-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/taishan-eel-claypot-rice-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The yellow eel claypot rice is one of Taishan Cuisine’s signature dishes. \u003ccite>(Luke Tsai/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>10.

I loved breaking off shards of the crispy, toasty rice crust at the bottom of the pot to eat over the course of the meal. To be able to enjoy such a dish at 3 a.m. on any night of the week?

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
