Puerto Rico: Celebrating Cultural Food Traditions

Join Slow Food East Bay for the next in our series celebrating diverse culinary traditions!

For our next stop, we will gather at Korner in Oakland and visit Puerto Rico, featuring a chef working to bring his cultural foodways into his work as a fine dining chef. Manny has been working alongside Andres at Snail bar as sous chef since the very beginning and is starting to branch out with his own project, Temporal: Comida del Caribe y Latino America.

Our moderator for the conversation will be chosen soon.

Our partner nonprofit for the evening’s donation is Puerto Rican Civic Club. More on them soon!

The proposed menu for the evening will include a whole pig roast and accompaniments (including items for our pescatarian and vegetarian friends!) Details soon.

As our political & social discourse gets more polarized, it becomes ever more important to have places where we can have meaningful connection discovering inherent connections to one another.
