New York chef Eddie Huang files a long piece about how purveyors and the media fuel food trends: "Razor clams aren't a trend. You've been able to find them all around Chinatown or Italian neighborhoods for decades...They are on lowly Chinese diner type menus such as Wo-Hop, but once the P.A.C. (People Above Canal) play it out, the price goes up and you may see it disappear from certain menus never to come back." [Fresh Off The Boat via Eater National]
