U Look Hungry gets lucky this week as host Helen Hollyman interviews Chris Ying and Peter Meehan, editors of the quarterly David Chang + McSweeneys lovechild: The Lucky Peach. They talk about Lucky Peach's success during a time when the future of print media is uncertain along with this issue's theme, the sweet spot. But don't mistake them for print purists, they have also taken to technology and coupled the magazine with an amazing and beautiful iPad app. Tune in for a funny and serious discussion of why physical media isn't going anywhere soon as well as the possible use of quionoa as a future currency and Dave Chang's obsession with Road House.
