Mike Safo with Austin Bush

Joined today by food blogger, Lonely Planet travel writer and photographer, Austin Bush.  Austin stopped by the 42nd street studio to talk about his new book, “The Food of Northern Thailand”. He explains the difference between what Americans think Thai food is and what traditional Thai food is. We also talk about his friendship with the James Beard Award winning chef and friend of the show Andy Ricker, and his love affair with Thailand. Our frequent co-host, Simba joins us while Austin tells us the difficulties of getting recipes for his book. From how he got his start writing at Lonely Planet to getting roped into coming over to Simba’s for dinner.
