The Sioux Chef
Yazzie.
Friday’s programs uncover a new food venture in Minneapolis that is changing how we think of indigenous cuisine, swoon over Ava DuVernay’s hit Queen Sugar, explore what happens when access to food collides with playwriting, and traverse the week’s local news.
“The Table Underground” is back for its second episode! Skyping into Minneapolis, host Tagan Engel talks Brian Yazzie, chef de cuisine at The Sioux Chef, a new food initiative in Minnesota that seeks to revitalize indigenous foods systems in a modern culinary context. Most recently, Yazzie worked with The Sioux Chef to start a food truck and cook for the water protectors at Standing Rock in North Dakota, and they talk about what that has entailed.
