The Worst Quality Crab podcast crew talks with special guests at their live event on Lunar New Year at KALW's studio events space.

The hosts of the Worst Quality Crab podcast are joined by three foodies in a discussion of childhood experiences and current traditions celebrating Lunar New Year.

Freesia and Samson Lee are the literal mom & pop duo behind Worst Quality Crab. Freesia is a 5th generation San Franciscan, occasional leadership & life coach, and does all things press-related for the Asian Art Museum. Samson is originally from New York, still quietly clings onto his East Coast bias, and has worked in the Ad-Tech industry for many, many years. When not working or podcasting, they are trying to cultivate food traditions new and old with their three young daughters.

Guests include:

Margot Seeto — A freelance writer from San Francisco, who has since called many cities and countries home.

Eric Ehler — A chef based in San Francisco, California. Adopted from Korea into rural Iowa, Eric grew up loving food, mainly midwest comfort and his local Chinese take outs.

Deanna Ulrich — A resident of San Francisco for 10 years as a creative, a mover, and now a new dog mom. She maintains a strong yearning for Martin’s Potato Rolls.
