Voices Rising: What's Next for Asian American Foodies?
Join us for an evening of provocative performances, deep conversations, and culinary exploration that delves into the heart of Asian American food culture. This unique event blends the flavors of food, art, and community activism to challenge perspectives and celebrate Asian American heritage.
Enjoy the Community Market: Before and after the event, guests can mingle with community partners, local food businesses, and sponsors like Junhe and Make Us Visible at our vibrant market area.
The night opens with a compelling video by Yixuan Pan "How to Make an ASMR Dumpling", followed by a live performance highlighting the labor of immigrants and collective healing through food. This is more than just a performance; it’s an invitation to experience the art of food-making while addressing the often-overlooked contributions of immigrants to the culinary world.
The evening continues with two food expert panels, featuring Seattle’s renowned restaurateurs and food influencers. The first panel includes stars Melissa Miranda (Musang), Rachel Yang (Revel, Joule), and Karuna Long (Sophon), moderated by Tan Vinh of the Seattle Times. They’ll discuss their culinary inspirations, the challenges of running successful restaurants, and emerging food trends.
In the second panel, Kat Lieu (Subtle Asian Baking) and Ken Tran (Feed The Pudge) will engage in discussion to dive deeper into food’s connection to identity, community, and the growing influence of social media in food culture.
Poet Jane Wong will captivate the audience with her moving words, reflecting on cultural heritage and identity through poetry.
For a final treat, a few guests will be invited to join chefs on stage for a fun, fast-paced Foodie Trivia with a big prize awaiting the winning team.
