Manager at Wo Hop in Chinatown - Serving egg foo young and wonton soup to New Yorkers since 1938. #TheFutureIsChow #MOFAD (at Wo Hop)

Should there be something good out of Glee, it'd be a quote that I have gotten the opportunity to feel: "being a part of something special, makes you feel special" Last night, we opened "CHOW: Making The Chinese American Restaurant" after two months of extensive work in building up this amazing exhibition. The amount of heart and passion poured into CHOW is outstanding, and I am very honored and beyond excited to be a part of this story of hardship and formation of an identity in foreign land through food. Looking into CHOW last night is a good reminder to myself on how important is food to shape an identity as a community despite pre-existing cultural perception and practices. It's BEYOND important for this story to be told. If you ever find yourself in New York City at any given weekend, please spend an hour with us and bask yourself with this story. #thefutureischow (at MOFAD - Museum of Food and Drink)
