More Than Just a Food Event<\/p>\n

AANHPI Eats Week was built to do more than put great food on the table. Many of the participating restaurants are family-run, deeply community-rooted businesses, and the week is designed to spotlight their stories as much as their menus. <\/p>\n

From a chef who grew up in Maui and brought those flavors to San Diego, to kitchens preserving Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai culinary traditions \u2013 there\u2019s real meaning behind every dish being served this week.<\/p>\n

See You There!<\/p>\n

Nine days, seven restaurants, and a city\u2019s worth of AANHPI culinary heritage to explore. It\u2019s a good week to try somewhere new.<\/p>\n
