Taste: Jessica Koslow

You’ve seen her sorrel pesto rice bowl with preserved Meyer lemon and lacto-fermented hot sauce burn up social media, now meet the woman responsible for showing LA’s changing food culture to the world. Award-winning chef Jessica Koslow will join Gizmodo Urbanism Editor Alissa Walker onstage at Taste for a conversation about Koslow's transformative restaurant, Sqirl, using the toast and jam moment to navigate Los Angeles food policy, the power of Instagram, and brunch as a tool for urban revitalization. And we’ll get a peek at Koslow's forthcoming cookbook!

Come see Jessica and Alissa, along with Mark Bittman, Ron Finley, and a host of chefs, policy makers, scientists, and thinkers, on where food and design meet. For one day next month, it's in Los Angeles!

Journalism
Over the course of the last twenty years, we’ve looked at the truncated narrative rhythms of Twitter, unpacked nineteenth century satire in France, climbed Ramparts, skewered Malcolm Gladwell, heralded critical writing, interviewed journalists (and investigative journalists), interviewed editors (and designers-turned-editors), analyzed subversive comics, critiqued newspaper redesigns, shared reflections on Gonzo Journalism and wondered if seeing really was believing.

Entertainment
Design is a natural topic for television. And for movies. And for everything in between, especially now that nearly all of these things are delivered across portable screens.

Humanism
What does design have to do with sadness, or fury? With kindness—or loss? With empathy, and asking better questions? (With honesty, and seeking better answers?) A fundamental tenet of design practice, humanism reminds us that we make things as people, for people: not for audiences, or for metrics, or for users—but for real people.

Science
Like designers in their attention to sentient observation, scientists are trained to ask penetrating questions.
