For Sous Style, its important that we mention people that wouldnt necessarily get [in fashion magazines], but are interesting in themselves.
All of the sudden in terms of fashion and art, people stopped talking about what shoes they were wearing, what they were buying, what art they were collecting- and they started talking about what they were having for dinner.

U Look Hungry is a radio show bridging the gap between food and contemporary pop culture. Every Thursday at 6 p.m. (EST), radio host Helen Hollyman uncovers what happens when current food and cultural shifts collide: just like movies, music, art and everything else that permeates our daily lives, food has carved its own niche into the amorphous box of contemporary popular culture. Tune in to uncover what people are eating and why are they eating it, analyzing our ever-changing community food systems, and exposing the remarkable figures that have chosen to go against the grain. The show focuses on the game changers taking part in these trends, from chefs and artists, musicians and food writers to everyone across all spectrums of American (and international) culture. Tune in because you my friend, well, you look hungry.
