Our first episode of Culture & Cuisine the Podcast introduces us to Yakeya Mohamad of Tarim Central Asian Grill who introduces us to the small Muslim minority in Western China known as the Uyghurs.

Mohamad introduces us to the unique cuisine that developed due to their location along the Silk Road and shows us that fusion cuisine isn't unique to Texas. The immigration and travel along the road yielded a cuisine analogous of Mediterranean and Chinese and a culture unique from both.

Join us as we discover the culture and cuisine of the Uyghurs.

UPDATE: Tarim Central Asian Grill has closed since the recording of this episode due to lack of knowledge about it’s cuisine. Help keep our city’s diversity thriving by searching out unique foods and flavors.
