Brenda
Buenviaje grew up across the Mississippi River from
New Orleans.
In this podcast, we get to know
Brenda and her life/business partner, Libby
Truesdell. Brenda describes her mixed heritage (Filipino
and Creole, mostly) and shares stories of growing up in southern
Louisiana, fishing and foraging, among other things. Libby
contrasts her Iowa upbringing with the multifaceted food and
culture she was introduced to when she met Brenda. Libby left her
home state for various spots on the West Coast when she was 18,
eventually ending up in The City in 2005.
Brenda also shares the story of how
she came to San Francisco.
Please join us for Part 2 this
Thursday.
We recorded this podcast at Brenda's Meat and
Three on Divisadero in November 2020.
