In today's episode of the Beyond Dating Podcast, the special guest is Leiti Hsu, also known as the Dining Dominatrix. Hsu, who immigrated to California from Taiwan at a young age, discovered that her love language is food after her mother passed away and she was making Taiwan's beef noodle soup for 120 people at a conference. Hsu believes that food, love, permission, pleasure, fun, enjoyment, flavor, and culture are all ingredients in her work and art. Hsu also believes that pleasure is an important aspect of life and decision making, and that those in power should experience the pleasure of things like warm tomatoes from a farmer chef or Hoka Uni in the market in order to make more optimized decisions. Hsu also discusses her experiences with trauma around identity and self-worth, and how her experiences with food and sex were more positive.
