Join renowned chefs Martin Yan and George Chen for a lively discussion about the way that food impacts culture and politics. They’ll dive into a diverse range of topics, from how food can help bridge cultural divides to the impact of racism and violence against Asian Americans. The discussion will be moderated by Cecilia Philips, KQED Coordinating Producer/Reporter for Check, Please! Bay Area. After the panel ends, attendees can enjoy a reception with beverages and food from Chef George Chen's China Live restaurant.
Forty years ago, with his KQED/PBS show, Yan Can Cook, Martin Yan helped introduce America to the joy and delicious beauty of Chinese cuisine while empowering home cooks to replicate dishes in their own kitchens. Over the span of his career, he has authored 27 cookbooks, started a chain of Yan Can restaurants, been certified a Master Chef, and most recently received a James Beard Lifetime Achievement award in 2022.
