20th ANNUAL CHARLIE PARKER JAZZ FESTIVAL: NEW SCHOOL EVENTS

The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music Partners with City Parks Foundation to Celebrate Parker's Legacy


'


A Workshop, A Performance and A Conversation
August 22 and 23, 2012 at The New School

WHAT: Although food from Mexico, Brazil, and other Latin American countries has become a staple of the New York diet, Latino chefs often do not receive the same public recognition and critical accolades as those from other cultures. Their culinary traditions are frequently conflated and confused, and many consumers are still reluctant to pay a fair price for dishes that require expensive ingredients and extraordinary skill. What does it mean for Latino chefs to become successful in a competitive restaurant market like New York City? What structural and cultural obstacles do they face? What is the future for Latino labor in food service?

WHO: Jacques Gautier, chef and owner, Palo Santo
Roberto SantibaƱez, chef and owner, Fonda; author Truly Mexican
Maximo Tejada, chef and partner, Rayuela & Macondo
Mariana Suarez, co-founder, Gourmet Latino
Moderated by Fabio Parasecoli, associate professor and New School Food Studies program coordinator.

WHEN: 6:00 P.M., Wednesday, September 7, 2011.

WHERE: Wollman Hall, Eugene Lang Building, 65 West 11th Street, 5th floor (enter at 66 West 12th Street)

TICKETS: $5; free to all students and New School faculty, staff, and alumni with ID. RSVP at [email protected] or 212.229.5488
