Join us for a buffet dinner and talk with Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, Medill's inaugural George R.R. Martin Chair in Storytelling. Tan will explore how food can be a powerful vehicle for telling your personal story about family and ethnic identity, through a discussion of "A Tiger in the Kitchen," her memoir of learning about her late grandmother in Singapore by learning how to cook, as well as the Northwestern One Book selection "Crying in H Mart" by Michaelle Zauner. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
