By J.D.  The folks at the Japanese Food Culture Association (JFCA), and Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), recently held the Japanese Food Expo 2024 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel. We were lucky enough to receive two tickets to cover the event, so I grabbed my cousin Matt and headed to L.A. to check out all the tasty dishes they had to offer.
 Alvin Zhou is a content creator that can be seen in various places on YouTube. His "Anime with Alvin" series (a show on Babish Culinary Universe) recreates foods from popular anime, while the cooking videos on his own channel feature a more laid back, casual feel that can be quite soothing and relaxing. Other projects include the "Making It Big" series, and short films about chefs in the industry. He's interests in anime made him the perfect guest for FanimeCon 2022 and we were lucky enough to talk to him about his start in content creation, some of his favorite foods, his knowledge on the One Piece series, and lots more! This interview is a bit different from what we usually do as it turned into quite the conversation between Alvin and our interviewer, and it's quite the treat! Fans of Alvin, or those discovering him for the first time, will find something worth sinking their teeth into here, so read on and be sure to check out their videos when you're done as well!
