Hello! We're baaaaaack! Sam and Jean take to the microphone once again for Season 2 of Ate Ate Ate, alongside returning guest Emily Contois (professor, author, food expert extraordinaire).In this episode, we talk about what the hell is going on in the food world in 2025, including the rise of Ozempic (including brozempic), protein in everything, how politics is affecting food culture, and more. There's general chit-chat about what we're looking forward to in this new year, the realisation that we don't really eat out at restaurants as much (though we still LOVE to, obviously) and we talk about what we want to do more of.Hope you enjoy!

Steven Junil Park is an Artist Who Eats
In this episode, we make a version of juk (Korean rice porridge) for Steven Park, who is a multidisciplinary artist behind the label 6x4. He has a lot to say about the ethical and environmental ramifications of the fashion industry, his relationship to being a maker, and how he forages for his textile practice - and his food.
For a special one-off season, Sam Low and Jean Teng talk to four Artists Who Eat, making a dish in response to their work, discussing how food intersects with their practice, and having a general kõrero about their relationship to food.
This episode is made thanks to funding from Foundation North.
