Toua Xiong, owner of Kathy's Live Bait, reflects on what he's learned from his mentor Richard Gimpl about running a bait shop business, as well as what he teaches other customers who are newcomers to this country. Directed by Colin Kloecker and Allison Herrera, this film was originally broadcast on Twin Cities Public Television's new TV Takeover program. Kathy's Live Bait is also part of a new multimedia storytelling project Works Progress is developing called Dear River, a collective love letter to the Mississippi. plain 2018-03-02T21:55:02-08:00 Vimeo 2014-06-10T10:47:36 video 97833233 Works Progress Dear River Mississippi River Nature Environment Fishing Bait Shop Saint Paul Minnesota Hmong Business Food and Society Workshop 0826c60623ca5f5c8c1eb72fc2e97084d0c44cf8This page is referenced by:

This project explored these tensions as an entry point to considering relational eating, and led to a larger project on relating the pleasures and perils of eating.
In the Art of Food in Frogtown and Rondo, fish usually comes up in one of two contexts: fishing and fried fish. Fried fish, like chicken, is often considered an excellent accompaniment to greens. Tilapia (one of the only "vegetarian" fishes, and hence a less expensive farmed fish) is often used for this in bought food -- and in homemade food, several people use fish they've caught.
In this recipe story, I'd like to ask community members to help come up with at least three fish recipes that correspond to three videos that I've really appreciated in terms of their telling stories about the habitat and social ecology of fish (especially as food) where I live:
