An untraditional potluck where volunteer cooks from the Asian and Asian American community brought homecooked dishes and shared the stories behind them. Food as a direct link to heritage, memory, and identity. A simple format that created genuine intimacy — the meal as the opening, the story as the point.
Lucky Chaos Theater Projects presents:
Home Cooked Stories!
Friday 5/31 7.30pm at Salvage Vanguard Theater
An (un)traditional potluck of food and stories! Behind every made-from-scratch entrée to freshly baked pie, a home-cooked meal is not only a scrumptious delight, but also a story from the maker’s soul. In celebration of Asian American Heritage Month, LuckyChaos Theater Projects is proud to present Home Cooked Stories (HCS): From Our Kitchen to Your Belly, a three-course smorgasbord of appetizers, entrees, desserts and STORIES from the cooks themselves. Our food is a direct link to our heritage but it also continues to evolve based on our personal experiences.
For this [un]traditional potluck, volunteer cooks from the Asian / Asian American community will cook and share their stories about their food. Whether if it’s your favorite Pad Thai recipe to your mom’s kheer, HCS hopes to bring all food lovers who want to share their food and the stories that accompany them.
