Happy Lunar New Year from the USC US-China Institute!
Let’s Dish it Out! A Discussion on Asian American Foodies
The panel explores the growing influence and role of Asian Americans in contemporary Los Angeles food trends.
When:
May 13, 2014 7:00pm to 12:00am
Asian Americans utilize social media more than any other ethnic group in the United States. This may explain why there appears to be a disproportionate number of Asian American food bloggers and “Yelpers” in Los Angeles. Are Asians Americans truly the new “taste-makers” in Los Angeles, or even nationally?
Moderated by Nguyen Tran of Starry Kitchen, a formerly underground kitchen gone legal, the panel will include:
- Cathy Chaplin, writer of ” The Food Lover’s Guide to Los Angeles” and creator of gastronomyblog.com.
- Robert Ji-Song Ku, author of Dubious Gastronomy: The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA, co-editor of Eating Asian America: A Food Studies Reader, and Associate Professor of Asian American Studies at Binghamton University.
- Anita Lau, of http://madhungrywoman.com/ and prolific yelp reviewer.
