All You can Eat consists of the recreation of a series of raw videos originally generated two decades ago using Flash, a format that was in vogue then. This page celebrates the coarseness of the process and its inherent beauty. In 2004, this undertaking was all about exploration, experimentation, having fun, and making do with what I had at hand. All You can Eat is also about the unspoken layers. The videos talk about gender, race, immigration, politics, sexuality in non-prescribed ways; just like cooking.

Given my current ethics in regard to food justice, many of the ingredients depicted here are not ones I would use today.

There will be more elements of this series coming up!
