Food for Thought: American Food at 250

What is the state of American food on its 250th birthday? Join author Sarah Lohman (Eight Flavors, Endangered Eating) to learn about the flavors, dishes, and cooks that got us here: from the Indigenous ingredients that shape regional American cuisine, to the influence of the African kitchen, to the fast food revolution.

Interested in learning more about food, food history, and food traditions? Do a deeper dive with a copy of Sarah Lohman's Endangered Eating. Registered participants can pick up at copy of Endangered Eating at the Information Desk at Kennedy Library while supplies last. A book discussion will be held on Wednesday, July 8.
