The Vast, Various and Multicultural World of Bay Area BBQ

KQED Food editor Luke Tsai has a different take. His new series, BBQ in the Bay, highlights the region’s unique barbecue cultures from various traditions of cooking food outdoors over an open flame and how it brings communities together. As part of Forum’s regular segment on food cultures of the Bay Area, called All You Can Eat, we’ll dish on Mongolian barbecue, lechon, barbacoa, barbecue oysters, brisket and much more. see more

U.S. intelligence reports that Russia is expanding its military capabilities in Syria and possibly establishing an operating base in the port city of Latakia. The U.S. has long wanted Russia to scale back its military support of the Assad regime, but Russia has been Syria's ally since the civil war began in 2011. We'll look at Russia's motivation for ramping up its military presence in the region. How will it impact efforts to battle the self-proclaimed Islamic State?

Guests:

Kathryn Stoner, senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University and author of "Resisting the State: Reform and Retrenchment in Post-Soviet Russia"
