American Street Food Stories with Chef Hinnerk von Bargen

Chef Hinnerk von Bargen, associate professor at the Culinary Institute of America and author of Street Foods, brings the vibrant, globe-trotting spirit of his book to life with an evening of street food stalls. Inspired by the book's exploration of global cuisines and cultures — from Italian street fairs to beachfront fish tacos to spicy Asian noodles — each stall celebrates the history and cultural tradition of beloved portable foods from around the world. A festive midweek feast for the senses.
