826: Korean Drinking Culture Got the Book It Deserved with Irene Yoo
Podcast: This Is TASTEPublished On: Sat Aug 22 2026
Description: Irene Yoo’s groundbreaking book Soju Party just won a James Beard Award for teaching Americans to drink like Koreans—the rounds, the rules, the anju, all of it. It’s a big topic to cover, and we get into the soju tornado, the convenience-store hangover industrial complex, and how a pop-up turned into Orion Bar, the Bushwick bar she co-owns with her husband and cocktail collaborator, Nick Dodge.
