This is from the panel Entrepreneurship: Making Our Own Opportunities

How do Asian Americans affect America’s ever-fluctuating culinary scene? We are no longer constrained to close-quartered, run-down, stone-walled Chinatown spaces, but instead are branching out into new areas, new methods of distribution, and new integrations of food and culture. Even the idea of a traditional recipe has been taken with a grain of salt, challenged, and pushed to shape what the American public understands as “Asian food.” As our modes of innovation and representation change, so does the American palate, and thus, Asian cuisine in America as we know it.

Speakers: Joseph Tien (Mantao Chinese Sandwiches), Thomas Yang (NYC Cravings truck), Emery Huang (Baohaus), Jerome Chang (Dessert Truck Works), Christina Seid (Chinatown Ice Cream Factory)

Moderated by: Melissa Zhang
