Food: Trigg Brown Offers This Taiwanese-American Spin On The Fried Chicken Sandwich (Video)
February 11, 2020
If it’s not bubbling, then… you f**ked up.
Ha! Got it. And I wanna get this. Because this looks DELICIOUS!!
Man, damn a ‘chicken sandwich challenge’… the contest is OVER! And Trigg Brown of Win Son, with this video, just WON, son!
Trigg Brown of Win Son, a Taiwanese-American restaurant in Brooklyn, NY, makes a big chicken bun in the Munchies Test Kitchen. Trigg starts with breaking down a whole chicken before marinating it in a mixture of ginger, garlic, scallions, Chinese five spice powder, and shio koji. Big pieces of chicken breast and thighs are then dredged in sweet potato starch, corn starch and rice flour, fried, and dusted with more Chinese five spice powder and cayenne pepper.
The result is a very crispy and slightly spicy piece of fried chicken that’s placed on top of a sweet bolo bao, topped with an herb salad, and drizzled with fermented tofu mayo. Trigg’s take on Taiwanese big chicken buns, which are typically sold in night markers around Taiwan, is the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory.

Food: You ‘Win Son,’ You Lose None… Of The Taiwanese Culture & Flavor (Video)
October 2, 2018
Careful about throwing around the word ‘authentic’ or being so quick to judge what is not authentic. I came across this Eat Seeker video and played (and decided to share) it because the food looked delicious. But this (and like their other episodes) go deeper than ‘staying true’ to where the cuisine is ‘from’… Get into the meaning behind the dishes, the motives and motivations of the chefs. This clip [and series] is cool (AND delicious)!
Over the last few years, Taiwanese food has slowly been getting a little more recognition across the city of New York. At the beloved Taiwanese spot, Win Son, co-owners Trigg Brown and Josh Ku have worked incredibly hard to build an association with the language they use on their menu. Together they have crafted a menu that highlights Taiwanese mainstays like the o-a jian (oyster omelette), fly’s head, and danzi noodles at their Brooklyn restaurant. Their hope is that small changes like using the Taiwanese dish names on the menu can help promote Taiwanese cultural and culinary identity in the city.

Food/Travel: Rare Taiwanese Mutton Dish Is Dangerous And Delicious (Video)
June 13, 2017
Okay, so that blowfish sushi could kill the person eating it. Their choice. But this dish risks (e.g. shortens) the life of the chef?? Daaaamn! That better be some good azz mutton. And (hand raised)… um… what is mutton exactly?
We visited a legendary restaurant in Taiwan! A 72-hour mutton hot pot! Buried under ground for three days heated in a walk in furnace with rice hulls! One of the best meals of my entire life! Make sure to check it out and follow me on Instagram for updates!

Well, the food does look good. Gotta admit. Oh, and I Googled it up: Mutton is meat from a sheep that is older than a year, ideally 3 years of age.

The Reign Supreme B-Boy Battle @ Bumbershoot 2015 In Seattle
September 25, 2015
Once again I was back in Seattle Labor Day Weekend to cover the Bumbershoot Festival. If you are not familiar with Bumbershoot it is a 3 day festival focused on Music, Art, Comedy and celebrating the city of Seattle, WA. This year the festival brought back the BBoy battle competition. I was able to get exclusive access to the behind the scenes of this competition thanks to my friend DV One who along with DJ Lean Rock provided the sounds for this event. This was organized by the Reign Supreme collective out in Seattle. I have footage of dancers from Seattle to Poland to Taiwan in the video clips above and after the jump. Enjoy and once again you can catch us in Seattle next year covering this great music festival once again!

JetSetter: Taiwan (Video)
November 21, 2012
For the Vice channel, ‘Fresh Off The Boat With Eddie Huang’ takes us to Eddie’s stomping grounds in Taiwan. Barely on the map; definitely off the chain… Just peep the trailer above. After the jump, Eddie shows us a different world starting with Part 1 – local ‘party favors’ (like an amphetamine called a ‘betel nut’), regional delicacies and erotica, night activities, and more. Part 2 continues the tour, with Eddie heading south to partake of the partying on the beach and some surf culture.
