We’re partnering with the Essex Street Market to bring together a panel of immigrant food entrepreneurs – those that have kept their cultures’ food traditions alive, while also adding their own flare. We’ll hear from Jake Dell of Katz’s Delicatessen, Jonathan Wu of Fung Tu, and market vendor Viva Fruits & Vegetables. Lisa Gross, Founder and CEO of The League of Kitchens, will moderate and share her perspective working with immigrant cooks in New York City.
Because, really, what would New York City be without the smoked fish of early Jewish immigrants, or the steaming hot noodle bowls of the city’s longstanding Chinese community? We’ll talk about the immigrants – and their appetites! – that made today’s world cooking possible.
Plus, sample a tasting of food from neighborhood staple Kossar’s Bialys and Essex Street Market vendors, and complimentary Tiger Beer! The evening starts with a reception at 6:30 pm and then the discussion from 7-8 pm.
Essex Street Market 120 Essex Street New York, NY, 10002
Free, RSVP requested.
When: Thu., Jun. 16, 2016 at 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
