In search of the lost taste

Joshua Ploeg’s cooking is transcendent: dangerous, strange and perfect. It’s full of colorful tastes that explode in your mouth like Pop Rocks–flavor combinations you never thought possible. Crazy alchemy. Freaky magic. Joshua’s a Traveling Chef: you make an appointment and he shows up at your house with a load of groceries, makes an incredible multi-course vegan meal using your pots and pans, and then he’s gone. He’s been in a bunch of hardcore bands and he brings all the good things punk rock gave us: risk, passion, creativity, and weirdness; then he applies them to his meals.
