Event: A Place at the Table: Queer Food, Hospitality, and Belonging
Thursday, June 25 at 111 Broadway in the Financial District.
Doors open 6:00 | Talk 6:30-7:30 | Book Signing 7:30-8:00 pm
Queer communities have long shaped the ways we gather, dine, celebrate, and build belonging. Join Erik Piepenburg, author of Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants, Megan J. Elias, co-editor of Queers at the Table: An Illustrated History of the Gay and Lesbian Ways We Eat, and James Beard Award-Winning chef Mavis-Jay Sanders, for a conversation exploring the intersections of queer culture, food, and hospitality.
Moderated by food and culture writer and editor and Ravenous co-founder Jaya Saxena, this discussion will examine how restaurants, bars, dinner parties, and other food spaces have served as sites of identity, community, resistance, and joy across generations of LGBTQ+ life.
Copies of A Place at the Table: Queer Food, Hospitality, and Belonging and of Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants will be available for purchase and signing after the talk.
