From our organizers:
For hundreds of years, mutual influences in Asian and Latinx cuisines have birthed some truly drool-worthy foodways. At Chow x Mundo Latinx, learn more about the unique cultural and culinary phenomenon of Chino Latino. And get an insider’s look into the exchange between Chinese and Latinx foodways, cultures, and the (re)migrations that led to the collisions of ingredients and experiences that have shaped these diverse societies for hundreds of years.
Join MOFAD and Ming River in welcoming culinary experts from the Latin American and Chinese diasporas. And get saucy with an evening of “salsas y salsa” featuring Cuban salsa dance lessons for all levels and some salsa-inspired snacks to warm up before the official program begins.
