| Ep. 6: Food Culture Lessons from Latin Restaurant Weeks | 05 Jul 2023 | 00:06:45 | |
Hi friends! In today's episode I talk about a few food culture lessons that I learned from taking part in Latin Restaurant Weeks. This is an organization that promotes and supports Latin cuisine restaurants. I support their mission because they are working to make these cuisines more visible among the general population like I am working to make different food cultures (including Latin food cultures) more visible among health care workers so we can make more appropriate nutrition recommendations. To learn more about them visit www.latinrestaurantweeks.com
**Also apologies, I referred to the restaurant as Cafe Andes but it's called Andes Cafe**
