I am a mixed-indigenous, queer, food storyteller and chef based on the ancestral homelands of the Ute, Paiute, Goshute, and Shoshone in so-called “Salt Lake City, Utah.” My work centers the cultural and historic dimensions of food, while questioning the systems that cuisine exists within. Most recently I've been published in Foyer Magazine and Produce Parties Magazine, and as a contributing editor for Kitchen Table Magazine. My audio work can be found on HRN, a non-profit food media network. An episode Austin-Lou co-produced and reported for “The Bittersweet History of Pralines,” received a gold medal at both the Davey and Signal Awards in the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” category.
