Eat My Joy

Here I am, on a sunny day back in October, savouring a Shore Lunch sushi bowl in the sun. I am sitting on a red adirondack on the wharf in Lunenburg, NS. A few tourists are milling around. A ship is tied up in front of me. Water is lapping against its sides. I take this picture then put my phone away. This food takes all my focus. Yellofin tuna. peppery greens. Chickpeas. Seaweed salad. Nori Flakes. Sesame Chickpeas. Miso Whip. Later I will see Amy Funk’s art exhibition at the Lunenburg School of the Arts. Amy is also the chef behind the Shore Lunch food truck. She made this bowl. This episode is the story of how Amy Funk, and artist and chef who has lived far and wide, has landed here, on the south shore of Nova Scotia. Cooking, painting, and feeding me in the sun. We discuss life. Hardships. Ingredients. Wanting the big time, and finding it in Nova Scotia. Here in this bowl.Thanks for listening, x LindsayLinks:* Shore Lunch Food Truck* Tipping is a Legacy of Slavery by Michelle Alexander* Lincoln Street Food* Lunenburg School for the ArtsCreditsHosted by Lindsay Cameron WilsonEdited by Abigail CerquitellaTheme song is One More Night by Jenn Grant Follow: @thefoodpodcast and @lindsaycameronwilson Get full access to Food Stories at lindsaycameronwilson.substack.com/subscribe
