Have You Eaten? is an interactive community event that celebrates diverse Asian cultures through food and drink while honoring what makes us different. The expression “have you eaten?” not only brings our cultures together, but also suggests a familiar feeling of love as we invite you into our home. Treat yourself to a variety of Asian beverages and baked goods in our pop-up café; help out in the kitchen with a hand-pulled noodle cooking class and tasting; set the table with a fabric napkin block printing workshop; and join us for a conversation around the dinner table about food as a love language.

Pop-Up Café (11:00am - 5:00pm): come lounge with an iced matcha, iced chai, iced Vietnamese coffee, sparkling guava limeade, Filipino cantaloupe juice, and baked goods from local AAPI vendors. We'll also have conversation cards to spark cultured dialogue, board games, and a photo booth.

Hand-Pulled Noodle Cooking Class (11:30am - 1:00pm): learn how to make Biang Biang Mian, chewy hand-pulled noodles tossed in a chili oil sauce. Sample the final dish and take home the noodles you made, a pair of chopsticks, a sauce recipe card, and a small rolling pin to recreate the dish and share with friends! (includes GA ticket)

Block Printing Workshop (1:30pm - 2:15pm): learn the traditional South Asian block printing technique that involves inking unique designs onto fabric using carved wooden blocks and assorted dyes. Each participant receives four up-cycled cloth fabrics that can be utilized as reusable dinner napkins. (includes GA ticket)

Panel Discussion (2:45pm - 3:45pm): join local AAPI community leaders in a discussion on the various ways food and sharing a meal has showed up in their lives as a tool for communication, identity exploration, connection, and advocacy. Our panel features Nadia Chaudhury of Eater Austin, Sabrina Sha of Asian Texans for Justice, Lucy Nguyen of Chúng Mình Collective and Jennie Bender, moderated by Regine Malibiran of missfits.
