Johnny is out this week, so Jacob and Mark talk about what the word "authenticity" means in cuisine, whether or not it's attainable, and why fusion restaurants blow.

we have also officially launched the codex west website, which is where you can find the article that accompanies this podcast, short contributor bios, and our RSS feed. it would mean a lot to us if you checked it out at www.codexwest.com

thanks for listening!
