Love, War and Slow Noodles: How Chantha Nguon Survived the Khmer Rouge

Chantha Nguon, co-author of “Slow Noodles,” shares her story of survival as a Cambodian refugee. Also this week: we discover the world's first fast food chain thanks to Kansas City journalist Mackenzie Martin, and Alex Aïnouz ranks the best pasta in the grocery store.

We're working on a story about the battles we fight in our kitchens at home, and we want to hear about your kitchen drama, from the biggest food fights to your everyday grievances.
