What Is Takoyaki?
Our guest is Karl Palma who is the chef and owner of Karl\u2019s Balls in New York City. He cooks authentic takoyaki at various pop-up events. Takoyaki is one of the most classic Japanese comfort foods but it is yet to be discovered in the US and most other countries outside Japan. In this episode, we will discuss what takoyaki is, why the simple bite-size balls are a piece of art, Karl\u2019s philosophy of making great takoyaki, and much, much more! \n\nIn March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country. It was hard work stepping away from our little recording studio, but we know that you rely on HRN to share resources and important stories from the world of food each week. It\u2019s been a tough year for all of us, but right now HRN is asking for your help. Every dollar that listeners give to HRN provides essential support to keep our mics on. We've got some fresh new thank you gifts available, like our limited edition bandanas.\n\nKeep Japan Eats on the air: become an HRN Member today! Go to heritageradionetwork.org/donate.
