Join Slow Food East Bay at Korner Oakland in Fruitvale  on Sunday, March 3, 5–8pm, for the next installment of their Cultural Food Traditions Project. The March 3 event features the traditions of Puerto Rico as experienced through the cooking of Chef Manny Rodriguez, a fine-dining chef who is now diving deeper into his Puerto Rican cultural foodways through his new project, Temporal: Comida del Caribe y Latino America.

On hand to moderate the discussion will be Maria Acevedo Campbell, president of the Puerto Rican Civic Club, a regional organization dedicated to celebrating Puerto Rican culture and supporting the islands in times of need.

Tickets (sliding scale $50-$90) include the full meal and drinks. And as always, if the fee is a barrier to anyone, don’t hesitate to reach out to Slow Food East Bay. “This table has room for everyone. We value all voices and perspectives and want to ensure our event represents all the diversity of the bay.”  Reserve your spots here!
