Cultural Foodways and Asheville
Join us at The People’s Place for an enriching panel discussion that explores the profound connection between food and a sense of place. Inspired by the wise words of alexandra antoine, "We respect the hands and labor that has gone into every dish. We value the stories and rituals that are a part of the cooking process. And we commit to telling our own stories," this event delves into the spiritual value of food and its role in our journey towards a sense of place.
Before the panel, guests will have a chance to enjoy heavy hor d'oeuvres prepared by Jasmine Michele of Dreamboat Cafe.
