Matthew Kang is the Lead Editor of Eater LA. He has covered dining, restaurants, food culture, and nightlife in Los Angeles since 2008. He's the host of K-Town, a YouTube series covering Korean food in America, and has been featured in Netflix's Street Food show.

This week, the Food is the New Rock podcast chats with Craig Thornton of Wolvesmouth, discussing some of the ways that food resembles art, and what inspires Thornton's uber-creative cuisine. When it comes down to it, just like Ari Taymor, Thornton gets inspiration from his grandma's cooking. But they also discuss how Thornton got kicked out of a venue in San Diego for beating someone up.
