Born and raised in the United States, Isaiah Mendoza recounts what eating Puerto Rican food means to him. In this inaugural episode, we go to La Bomba in Logan Square to take a deep look into dishes such as Arroz Con Gandules and Alcapurrias, as well as drinks like Coco Rico. In that time, we explore different facets of Puerto Rico: from the geography of the land and Isaiah’s familial hometown, to the recent devastating effects and political implications of Hurricane Maria.

Isaiah Mendoza & La Bomba

I’m Rey Tang. I’m broke, hungry, and I’d like to have more friends. Recently, I’ve started a new con, where I trick people into hanging out with me by asking them to grab a bite to eat. But, being the poor college student that I am, I’ve decided to also invest in a cheap microphone in order to make a quick buck. It’s the perfect setup. Join me, as I try new cuisines, make bank, and find friendship. Welcome to Food Adventures - a podcast which I’m using as an excuse to eat good food with my friends.
