Episode Synopsis

I'm a little ashamed to say, I don't think I've ever played a real game of mahjong!  Today's guest, Nicole Wong, wrote the perfect book for me!  It's called Mahjong: House Rules from Across the Asian Diaspora, and it has a little bit of everything for a new player like myself, or a seasoned player like you!
It's available April 8th wherever you get your books.  Follow Nicole @themahjongproject on Instagram, or learn more at her website https://www.themahjongproject.com/about 
Also, please come down to On Waverly on Saturday, March 22nd, at  5:30 PM (or you can join on Zoom) for our 1st Annual March Madness of Chinese Cuisine tournament, hosted by me, The Worst Quality Crab Podcast and the On Waverly Bookstore!  We are staging a mock battle between dishes, where you the audience vote on which dish should win each round!  The more votes the better!  So join us live or on Zoom.  It's FREE, but register here!  https://thethirdplace.is/event/march-madness-of-chinese-food-live-podcasts  (you need to register here to receive a Zoom link too)  I hope to see you!
