Behind the 10 second Tasty videos that filled your Facebook news feed, and the Making It Big series on YouTube that you always end up clicking (a 100-egg omelette? whaaaat?!), there are dreams of a young Asian-American boy who defied traditional expectations to achieve his dream. There’s countless all-nighters in a dark dorm room, slaving over every split-second edit of the clips. Oh, and there’s a borrowed DSLR that kick-started his whole career, too :)

This week we are excited to have Alvin Zhou from Tasty to talk about his unconventional journey to Making It Big!

Your favorite podcast Eat Your Crust is back for SEASON 2!!! 

2019 was a crazy year for your hosts Crystal and Jeesoo - it was a year full of transition, growth, and balance. Juggling our first full-time jobs with having a social life, running our podcast, and getting enough sleep has been a wild adventure but we wouldn’t have traded it for the world. Let us brighten up your commute as we reflect on our 2019, laugh about some of our most memorable episodes, and give a sneak peek into the amazing things we have planned for 2020!

Bring on the new decade!!!

How come it seems like everyone else in the world is totally comfortable meeting and talking to complete strangers? For Crystal and I, it takes a few pep talks, a close friend, or social lubricant (cough cough alcohol) before we feel more confident in unfamiliar social situations. Hopefully it’s not just us! Follow us along on our throwback to our antisocial freshman days to our journey in managing our shyness 🙂

Subtle Asian Traits has taken over our Facebook newsfeeds ever since its boom in popularity last year. Today, it’s almost an empire, serving as one of the biggest sources of Asian-American memes, subculture groups, and...dating profiles???

Today we brought on a couple who met and fell in love through Subtle Asian Dating (yes, it really can happen) - and their story makes you want to believe in love again :’)
