This panel, organized by Art Practical, brings together notable Bay Area chefs, members of their staffs, and food writers for a conversation about the apparent, subtle, and unacknowledged ways in which restaurant menus reflect stories and patterns of migration. From farm to table takes on a notably different meaning when considering the intertwined histories of immigration and agriculture in California. But more informally, how might the flavors or techniques from radically different cultures make their way into a chef's kitchen through the people who work there? What experiences of place do chefs want to translate into food for their patrons?
