Inside JVP: An Interview with Rebecca Zandstein by Ben Kharakh
Readers only get a taste of Gourmet Grub editor Rebbeca Zandstein from her articles, so with this Q and A I was aiming to serve up a hearty portion of Becca. As our conversation progressed, I learned plenty about my fellow JVPer that I didn’t know, so much so that a single piece simply will not suffice. Luckily, Becca’s the sort of writer that can be counted on to provide her fair share of articles, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of what we talked about ends up inspiring future pieces. Until then, bon appetit!

Whenever I am at a Korean restaurant the servers and chefs become confused and embarrassed because I cannot indulge in any of their signature dishes.

Kimbab in the City – Rebecca Zandstein
I never realized that New York City was home to a Koreatown. Though it might be a block long, it left me more satisfied than the entire length of Canal Street. While I was strolling down West 32nd St, the center of Koreatown, I skipped in and out of a Korean market, and peered into all of the noodle and Korean barbecue shops. Thankfully, I found a small “hole-in-the-wall” shop that makes beautiful, delicious, large, and cheap kimbab.
A BBQ Shack That Deserves Attention – Jeff Dodd
There is one type of cuisine that New Jersey, along with the rest of the Northeat, lacks and that is barbeque. One cannot drive too far down the street without… Read more

Tofu, Done Well – Rebecca Zandstein
As a “carbaholic” and one who loves Morningstar Farms, minus the products with sesame oil, I find that making a quick sandwich stuffed with protein, veggies, and sauce is a… Read more
