Kick off Summer at Platform
This June, Platform by JBF is full of celebrations. Join us for the power of food in transformation, and the diversity of the culinary world. From an island-hopping Caribbean American dinner to a screening of the award-winning documentary "Coldwater Kitchen," these events shine a light on the rich cultural legacies and innovative culinary talents that are shaping the industry. Additional highlights include exploring the Indian American diaspora with author Khushbu Shah, honoring the legacy of pioneering editor Judith Jones, and honoring Juneteenth. The series culminates in a tribute to pioneering queer chefs and a lively drag show celebrating the end of Pride month. Throughout the month Platform will showcase the multifaceted tapestry of cuisines, perspectives, and communities that make up todays vibrant food landscape.
