Jews and Chinese Food - Thursday, October 17, 6:30 pm

From the grit of the Lower East Side to the cul-de-sacs of contemporary suburbia, Jews have had a special relationship with Chinese food, a relationship deliciously explored in The Middlesteins, this year's One Book | One Community selection.

Spertus Institute’s Chef Laura Frankel will “wok” you through the history of Jews and Chinese food while you learn to make bao dumplings with pulled brisket, lo mein noodles with wok charred long beans, and more. Ample tastings will be provided. You won’t leave hungry!
