Type/Location: In Person / New York, NY

Description:

Event begins at 6:30PM
Reception with bites and drinks inspired by Season 8 to follow

Asia Society welcomes back Danielle Chang, the creator, host, and producer of the Emmy-nominated "Outstanding Culinary Series" Lucky Chow (PBS) for an exclusive look at Season 8. The evening will feature a screening of two episodes as she explores how Asian flavors are transforming European food culture, offering a firsthand look at the chefs and traditions bridging these two worlds.

COPENHAGEN: Scandiasian
Copenhagen changed the rules of fine dining by insisting that food reflect the land and the seasons. Danielle Chang meets Asian chefs who take that ethos seriously and apply it through their own traditions. Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, and Japanese techniques shape Nordic ingredients, regenerative farms, and Baltic seafood. The result is cooking that is contemporary yet deeply tied to place.

ITALY: Chinese Italia
Danielle travels through Italy to experience the deep, lived fusion between Chinese and Italian cultures. From Milan’s Chinatown to Prato’s working class dumpling shops and Florence’s street food, she discovers unexpected overlaps: hand-worked dough, reverence for butchery, and a shared belief that feeding people well is an act of care. This is Chinese Italia.

About the Speaker:

Danielle Chang is the founder of LUCKYRICE, described by the New York Times as a “mouthwatering”  lifestyle brand dedicated “to eating, making and thinking about Asian-inspired cuisine," where she and her team began a cultural conversation that has flourished for over a decade. She has brought the LUCKYRICE  Asian food festivals to eight major markets and her culinary television series Lucky Chow, now in its eighth season, is broadcast throughout the country. Whether it’s curating exhibitions of Chinese artists, launching a Mandarin language school for young children, dressing women in Chinese-style clothing as the CEO of Vivienne Tam, or putting on Asian food festivals for thousands of people across the country, Danielle's career has been grounded in her experience as a first-generation Chinese immigrant.
